Pool Water Cleaning
How can I get my swimming pool water clean?
My pool was green and I went to a swimming pool store and I they told me to put acid, to shock it, and put in some stuff to kill the green in the pool. I did all of this and my pool has no green anymore but the water is not clear. I cannot see the bottom of the pool. What do I have to do to get it clear?
The water is cloudy blue.
Cloudy swimming pool water can result from one of several factors:
the pH is too high;
the total alkalinity level is too high;
the stabiliser level is too high;
the chlorine level is too low;
the calcium hardness level is too high;
the level of total dissolved solids is too high;
there are high levels of metals (discoloured pool water);
there is a lot of pool algae growth;
the filter needs cleaning or servicing;
there is a large quantity of microscopic particles in the pool water.
Use a test kit to see what chemicals you need to put into your pool.
