Make sure your salt chlorinator or liquid chlorine doser is working properly and the output is set according to the weather and the bathing load. Normally in summer, salt chlorinator and liquid chlorine dosers should be set to close to 100%. If you can’t set your chlorinator/doser output to 100%, then there may be a problem with your salt chlorinator/ doser. Bring your chlorinator/doser to our Hornsby pool shop for us to perform a thorough test to identify any problems. Alternatively, we can attend on site to investigate the problem and provide you with a quote to fix it.
Perform a water test at least once a week in summer or more often if the pool is being used frequently. Pay attention to readings of pH, free chlorine, combined chlorine, stabiliser and hardness. They should all be within the recommended range for your type of pool. High pH and low free chlorine can cause the pool water to go cloudy. If you are unsure of your water readings, bring a sample of your pool water to our pool shop in Hornsby for a free water test and analysis. Our staff would be happy to help you address the findings and recommend chemicals to ensure a balanced water reading.
Good pool filtration is essential to maintain a sparkling pool. Your filter (whether it is a sand filter, a cartridge filter or a DE filter) is designed to remove debris and contaminants from the water, so the pool sanitizing system can work. You can have perfect water balance but water can still be cloudy if your filtration system doesn’t work. Filters start losing their filtering capability due to their age or wear and tear. It is also recommended that you change the filter media (sand changes) every 5-7 years. Book a service for us to change your filter media or visit us instore to discuss a filter upgrade, replacement or repair to solve your water quality problems.
Once you determine the likely cause of your pools cloudy water, try the methods suggested above or speak with our well-trained staff to resolve your pool problem.
