cloudy

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help… so I am a new fiberglass pool (21k gal) owner and although I’ve had the pool for a little under a year, construction is lingering on it on and now we’re getting ready to complete everything. We’re just north of Atlanta so you know what the weather...

Just bought a house that the owners didn't take care of the pool very well. It's 35k gallons with sand filter and SWG (not using yet due to swamp). CYA was below min reading of test, so been working on adding enough CYA to get to 40ppm and using a FC target of 20ppm. SLAMed for 2 days, using 24...

We’ve had the tub (Jacuzzi 280) for just about a month (we only wear certain bathing suits for the hot tub). I’ve followed all their steps in preparing the water and what it takes on a weekly basis. Opened it with Spa Boss spa shock, spa boss chlor aid, spa boss spa marvel and spa marvel alka...

We have a 12X24 saltwater filter Intex. Si Cel we opened it this summer it’s been cloudy/milky all the chemicals are fine. Ph level, alkalinity, chlorine (had water tested at leslies) we’ve shocked, clarified ran the pump, clean the filters. Water is still milky. What can we do? Is it safe to...

Hello, I opened my pool on Monday and was treated to a green mess. I brought up my CYA to 30 from 0 and maintained a FC level of 12, checking every 3 hours. After about 24 hours, the pool turned blue, but even now, 6 days later, it is still very cloudy. I have a very oversized DE filter for my...

I have a 15' above ground pool and following a week of intense storms, my chlorine levels dropped and the water became milky. I shocked the pool and used Leslie's UltraBright Advanced to clarify the water, with the expectation that I would be able to vacuum the muck. It;s been 10 days and I just...

Hello. New here. I am consistently having this dust looking stuff at the bottom of my pool after the water settles. I thought it was just our hard water ch(225) I vacuum to wasteland.the.time and it just keeps coming back. We do live next to a gravel road so I’m beginning to wonder if it’s...

This has started happening again just now this season, and it also happened last summer about partway through the season. One day everything is normal, and then the next time I add chlorine, I can see it forming a visible white cloud as it moves trough the water. It doesn’t dissipate quickly...

Hi all - New on the forum and need some help diagnosing a weird white cloud that is getting kicked up when I brush my pool. Here's the story. I've been using chlorine bleach for the last few years to maintain FC, as opposed to tablets of any sort. In the last month I discovered the...

Hello All, I am a brand new above ground pool owner (27' diameter, 18,500 gallons, sand filter). I have been reading pool school and working to clear my pool but am not having any luck so far. I am attempting the SLAM process, and so far the water has turned from green to blue, but is...

We had an in ground pool installed last year. 22,000 gal, lagoon shape, vinyl, sand filter (2 cups DE), VS pump, Taylor test kit, central NC. Water chemistry and clarity was great last year. This year was great from opening until about a week ago. I have some slight cloudiness in the deep end...
