Cloudy Water

Cloudy water is one of the easiest things to correct in a swimming pool. The best approach is to shock the water with a chlorine or non-chlorine shock, clean your filter and run the circulation continuously until clarity returns.                                                        

The main causes of cloudy water are the following:

1. Lack of sanitizer in the pool – check your system to make sure it’s full

2. Lack of circulation due to a dirty or broken filter or low pump run time

3. Skimmer or pump baskets are full of debris

4. The water is out of balance causing the sanitizer to be less efficient

5. Rain or high debris level in the pool

6. Heavy bather load – more than the normal number of swimmers
