Cloudy water is a hazy, murky appearance that is caused by introduction of suspended particles that are invisible to the naked eye. A similar analogy would be the particles in air that cause smoke. These impurities are introduced to the water from a myriad of environmental sources, even bathers and source water. Particles can intensify and cause water to cloud due to improper water balance, low sanitizer levels and/or lack of routine oxidation, poor filtration or inadequate circulation.

• Test water to determine current chemistry conditions
• Add LO ‘N SLO® if pH is high
• Add BURN OUT®  to oxidize contaminants

• Improper filtration is the largest cause of cloudy water
• Use STRIP KWIK ®  to clean dirty filter media
• Add  POLYSHEEN BLUE® to enhance filtration
• Check pool returns and make sure they are angled properly

1. Add POLYSHEEN BLUE® or SUPER CLEAR TABS to your weekly maintenance routine to improve clarity and reduce contaminant levels
2. Backwash filter when necessary
3. Chemically clean filter every 4 months
4. Replace filter media as directed
   
5. Run pump at least 10-12 hours per day
   
6. Maintain proper water balance
   
7. Oxidize/Shock pool weekly to destroy contaminants*
