I had a new, muddy pool. When I had it drained, mostly, for another reason, I unrolled a 6 x 5 foot of "garbage" straw below the normal waterline. (Garbage straw is anything you can get for free as it was "ruined" in the field) The next time the pool filled, it was at first muddy, but cleared up and stayed clear to 24 inches. I am now fertilizing to get the clarity down to prevent the inevitable weeds.
