How can I turn my cloudy pool into a crystal clear pool?

Question

I would like to open my pool this summer but the water is very cloudy. you can not see to the bottom. what can i put in it to turn the water crystal clear.

Answer 1

Get the thing running. Change the sand if you have a sand filter. Adjust Total Alkalinity and pH-- in that order. Nuke the pool with granular chlorine. Leave it running. Be sure to backwash/clean the filter frequently. If it doesn't seem to be getting better after a couple days then add a flocculant. Pour in the recommended amount for your pool and circulate about 2 hours. Then turn it off until all the gunk has settled to the bottom. At this point the water will be clear. Vacuum to waste and refill pool Now you're on your way. Remember- the pool didn't get in that condition overnight so it won't clean up overnight, either. Takes time. Make sure the "shock" you are using contains chlorine. Some of it doesn't.

Answer 2

There are 2 aspects, Filtration performance and pH. Are there any micro debris popping out from the pool go back? If certain, filter out problem. Is the pool heavily used presently? If certain, strengthen the filtration time. If no longer, verify pH. Chlorine generator produce liquid chlorine which will strengthen the pH straight away.

Answer 3

There is a chemical called "clarifyer"..read the directions and your pool should be clear in a few hours.

Answer 4

Take a water sample to a pool store. They'll run it through a machine & tell you exactly what you need to put in it. (We use Sofswim because it doesn't have chlorine.)

Answer 5

toss a whole bunch of shock into the pool. go to a pool supply place to ask how much you need to buy.

Answer 6

Chang your filter and check the clorine levels
