There are several reasons why a pool can be cloudy.

There may not be enough free chlorine in the water.

The filter system may not be running enough to properly clean the water.

There may be too much calcium in the water.

The Ph may be too high.

The filter system may be compromised.

What should you do if your pool water is very milky and shocking makes it more milky?

I too had milky water in my pool. I also have a chocolate lab dog who loves the water. I found that with allowing the dog to swim would turn the water milky and that a "slime" would develop on my filter and in my filter housing. I can't deny the dog but I can limit the number of swims. My pool is small so it's not hard for me to fix. I change the filter or clean it real well every day for a couple of days following one of her swims. I also heavily "shock" the water at the end of the day for 2 days after her swim. If the cause of you milky water is a 4 legged friend, this has worked for me. New answer:: Ah, yuck! Do you realize the germs on a dogs body. Milky and slime more YUCK! Extend the filter run time if you insist on having a dog swim in your pool. As a pool service person, I wouldn't even put my toe in the pool under those conditions. Milky water is caused by many things but lack of filtration is one and lack of a sanitizer is another. You are subjecting yourself to a multitude of germs and bacteria. Diarrhea, e-coli are but a few found in pools. Oh, horrors of horrors! K


I have dirty green pool water how do I clean it up if I never owned a pool before?

Pour in a gallon jug of algecide and increase the amount of chlorine you use and run your pool's filter at least 6 to 8 hrs a night. Will clear up in a day. Of course this info depends on size of pool, but the average 16,000 gallon pool will clear up.


Where do you see algae?

If it is there you may see it in the water giving it a green or milky colour. It can also build up on the surfaces of the pool and need to be scrubed off.
