My pool water is cloudy. What should I do?

As summer comes to an end, it is time to reflect on the experiences shared during this time. You have surely made the most of your pool this year and beat the heat without any trouble. If, now that summer is ending, your pool water has turned cloudy, you are facing a serious problem that must be addressed as soon as possible.

Dirt, algae growth, or motor failures are some of the issues we may face during pool maintenance. However, one of the most common problems we encounter after summer is the pool water taking on a cloudier appearance than usual.

This issue is caused by a pH imbalance in the pool water: when chlorine levels are too low or there is no proper balance between the different products used for pool maintenance. Additionally, if the pool filter is not working correctly, some particle residue can accumulate, giving the water a cloudy and milky appearance.

It is essential to ensure that the pH levels of our pool water are correct, as this will prevent cloudiness. The values should be between 7.2 and 7.6. We recommend using a pH control and dosing system to maintain optimal pH levels at all times.

It is also very important to perform regular filter checks on our pool to remove any accumulated debris. Similarly, we recommend using a pool cleaner to manually remove particles attached to the pool shell.

Having an effective water treatment is vital for ensuring our pool looks its best at all times. At Innowater, we are specialists in salt chlorination systems, a healthy and eco-friendly method that will help you enjoy clean, crystal-clear, and disinfected water all year round.
