    My pool opened pretty clear then clouded up a bit. It had a lot of stuff on the bottom that was both pulled in and stirred up by my Pool Rover Plus. Now, after several days of filtering, the water is sparkling. Takes time for all that water to get filtered.

    Patience is the key. I would get chems adjusted then wait UNLESS the water appears to be getting more cloudy, rather than less or the same.

    Yep, just be patient. Slightly cloudy water is totally normal, at least for a day or two. If you normally run your pump on a timer, be sure to let it run 24 hours a day for the first several days when you open the pool. After the water is crystal clear, then you can go back to filtering 8 or 10 hours/day or whatever works best for you.
