Let’s Try To Clear Something Up

Perhaps the most frustrating and most common complaint we get to hear is the dreaded “My water is cloudy”. While cloudy water doesn’t prevent swimming and is merely an aesthetic issue, it is without a doubt one of the biggest concerns customers have. There is nothing worse than having a murky looking pool the day before your youngest is hosting the big summer pool party. Well, I’m here to tell you that patience is your best friend in this scenario. It takes time to clear of cloudy water. Pool clarifiers can help dramatically reduce how cloudy that water appears, but you must proceed with caution. All too often I hear complaints that the clarifiers aren’t doing anything to help the water. I can assure you they do work and are most likely working the whole time. If you use too much clarifier you are only going to make things worse so please be sure to follow the instructions indicated and be patient. Find an area toward the top of the pool and use that as a marker. You will likely see that the cloudiness is gradually disappearing over a few days. This process generally will not work overnight and dumping the whole bottle in will only make a bigger mess of things. Just remember there is not a miracle fix for cloudy.
