The Most Common Causes of Cloudy Pool Water

- Algae Growth

- Bad filtration, maybe your swimming pool filter or pump are too small for your size pool.

- Constantly backwashing. Did you know that the more debris in your filter, the better it filters. That debris helps to collect more debris.

 - Not Swimming. Swimming helps circulate the pool water.

- Lots of debris, trees and dirt getting into the swimming pool

- Too many swimmers and not enough sanitizer to match it.

- Your Heater, warmer water promotes algae growth and less sanitizer levels

- Not enough sunlight, natural UV rays can kill bacteria.

- Lawn & chemical sprays getting into your swimming pool.

- HIGH pH

- HIGH Calcium Hardness

- Pool not being vacuumed or brushed on a regular basis.

- Trace heavy metals (iron, copper, manganese) present in the water.

- Broken or otherwise damaged filter lateral (sand), septum (DE) or element (cartridge).

- Dirty pool toys & floats putting a strain on the sanitizer.

- You, lack of pool-owner care as in regular testing, vacuuming & maintenance.
