Why Your Pool Is Cloudy (and How to Fix It)

If your pool looks cloudy, don’t panic. Cloudiness is usually a circulation, filtration, or chemistry issue—and it’s fixable.

Common causes

• Low chlorine (sanitizer is getting used up)
• High pH (reduces chlorine effectiveness)
• Dirty filter (can’t capture fine particles)
• Poor circulation (pump, plumbing, or basket blockage)

Fast steps that often work

1. Test water and correct pH/chlorine
2. Run the pump longer to improve turnover
3. Clean/inspect the filter
4. Brush and vacuum

If cloudiness persists, you may need an equipment inspection. Request help.
