Answer:
Chlorine is certainly important, but sometimes tablets are not enough. Regular shock dosage can help to keep the water clear. Also, pH is very important in water clarity as well as for swimmer comfort and equipment protection. You may require a pH increaser or decreaser to balance this out. If the regular chemistry looks good (free chlorine, pH and Total Alkalinity) then a clarifier might help to improve the clarity of the water as well. There are several available, but you might have to visit a pool store to find one.
