Thank you! It has leaves in it from the night's storms. But, that's why the robot is running.

That's the one. Not completely sure I'd get a new one when this one dies. Had some issues with customer service, it only half works, etc. Maybe the new generation is better.
I looked, they are out of stock. But that is a cool idea. If it worked well, I'd bite. I'm constantly battling leaves in my pool.

I think OP's request is a good one. When I read it, I imagined a lawyer, a chemist and an engineer all working together to draft a "sparkle guarantee" for TFP Pool Service Co. with the marketing rep locked out of the room.
I can only define sparkling by when it will not occur in my pool, and so far that's due to any one of the following:
Dust on the floor of the pool
After a period of not brushing
pH above 8.0
No sun on the pool
Still water (the fancy opal-like beads in the mix sparkle a little, but that's not the water)
The slightest cloudiness (after a storm, couple of times immediately after backwash, and when it was new)
Dust floating on the water after a windstorm
And when 5 people all bomb the pool at the same time, no sparkle, but way more fun
So my explanation for my pool would be sunshine, clear water, clean surfaces, and pH under 8.0

When your pool water looks like it belongs in a magazine ad...
For a luxury product that costs more than the pool.
