Problem: Cloudy Water
Solution
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 8 - 12
continuous hours daily. |
| 2. Does the filter need to
be backwashed? |
3. If the filter pressure
does not return to normal starting pressure after
backwashing, the filter needs
to be chemically cleaned. |
| 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 POOLIFE
TurboShock or POOLIFE Rapid Shock. Remember to wait
until the
chlorine level drops to between 1 and 4 ppm
before re-entering the pool. |
NOTE –
POOLIFE Clarifier, POOLIFE Super Concentrated Clarifier or POOLIFE
Clarifying Flocculant can also be used to clear cloudy
water. |
