Cloudy Water Problems

There are many causes of cloudy water, the most common being incorrect pH, incorrect TA and improper filtration. Always check and adjust the pH and TA levels before adjusting your filtration system. Thereafter follow these steps to investigate your filtration system:

1. Make sure that the filtration system is running smoothly and that it is running at least 6 - 8
continuous hours daily.
2. Does the filter need to be cleaned?
3. If the filter pressure does not return to normal starting pressure after cleaning, the cartridge needs to be replaced.
4. Have the pump strainer baskets and the skimmer baskets been emptied?
5. Also test your water to make sure that the pH and total alkalinity are within the ideal range.
6. Shock the pool with a strong shock product. Remember to wait until the
chlorine level drops to between 1 and 4 ppm before re-entering the pool.

Clarifier, Super Concentrated Clarifier or Clarifying Flocculent can also be used to clear cloudy water.
