I have had this problem. I'm not a pool expert, but from personal experience, this is what I know: White or grey water usually occurs after super-chlorinating the pool. If it doesn't go away and leaves a cloudy grey pool and you see deposits of white powder-looking material than this is probably calcium. When you use powdered chlorine it also comes with calcium. When you apply chlorine you should use a bucket to mix it in, when you pour it into your pool the powder at the bottom of the bucket is the calcium. Calcium is good for marble finished pools, but too much calcium will not mix into the water and will cloud it, not even running your filter for days will remove the calcium. The only fast way to remove the calcium is to firstly vacuum the bottom of your pool to waste, of course when you do this clouds will rise up from the bottom when you disturb the bottom of your pool. You will lose alot of water to do this properly. If it's still hazy then drain about half of your pool to waste and replace it. After replacing it you will need to adjust your ph, alkanity and buffer levels.

Why transparent glass of windows if not wiped off ragularly appears hazy?

1. The air contains dust particles along with other gases. These dust particles stick to the window and make it appear hazy. 2. Air contains water vapour. So when the air containing water vapour gets in contact with the window, the water creates stains on the window and make it appear hazy. Thus transparent windows should be wiped regularly.
