I forgot to say that filter cartridges will keep the pool clean enough. Most people dont seem to notice the difference in clarity anyway.

Whatever way you go, your local pool shop will sell a clarifier or filtering aid to make the water look schmick for parties. Works with all filter types. In basic terms the crap sticks together so it is bigger and then filters out. (this is different to a floc, which plays with the pool chemistry more).

back to lights again, I would suggest get some pond spotties to put behind the waterfall, making it backlit. You can even get pond lights that go underwater, so the water will not be a problem. I would go the pool light, backlight the waterfall, and use garden spotties to highlight plants or statues to really create a nice ambiance.
