Q: Are pH, Total Alkalinity & Calcium Hardness ALL normal?
Incorrect chemistry can result in cloudy water.
Q: Just Treated your Pool for Algae?
Dead Algae blooms are grey & can turn water Cloudy until they are filtered away.
Q: Have you just had heavy rain or Thunderstorm Activity?
Rain (especially electric storms) deposits Nitrogen in pools. It’s a Fertilizer – so Algae loves it! Cloudiness may indicate early algae bloom.
Q: Just had more dust than a Camel Derby?
Fine suspended particles reduce clarity & neutralise chemicals.
Q: Had a pool party?
A sweaty, oily crowd will overload your chemistry.
Q: Water Test OK? Been having clear, sunny skies? Had few swimmers? Your problem could be filtration:
- Filter Medium may be exhausted,
- Poor Circulation
- Pump Pressure sub-optimal
- Test water using test strips or reagents (older kits) to check pH, and correct as instructed.
- Add a Flocculent as instructed.
