If you have shocked added soda algaecide and clarifier to an 18x36 inground pool and my water is still cloudy and light green what now?

When you get desperate the thing to do is flocculate.
# Get a good flocculant from the pool shop # stop the Filter and set it to waste # Cast the flocculant over the surface of the pool # Let the whole lot settle for 2 days without running the filtration system. # After a couple of days you will note that the water has cleared up however there is a layer of cloudy looking water at the bottom of the pool. # Gently lower the hand pool vacuum into it and vacuum it carefully to waste try not to stir it up too much and definitely do not put i through the filter. # You may have to do this again however it is unlikely.
# when all of the crap of the bottom is gone stop the pump turn it to rinse for 30 seconds with the pump running then stop the pump again and return the unit back to filter position.
# Done your water should now be clear again and you will have lost up to a foot of water.

Will swimming pool water be cloudy if the stablelizer is low?
Not likely, make sure all chemicals are balanced. If still cloudy, use a clarifier sold at pool stores.

Why is my Sand filter keeping the water cloudy?
Possibly because you have not backwashed the filter recently or enough. Cloudy water also may indicate Algae growth or pH balance off. Test your chlorine and pH levels and adjust them accordingly, shock the water if necessary and add algaecide.
You have cloudy water with air bubbles?
You also have Algae this can usually be treated with bombing the pool and hitting it with an algaecide. Just to be on the safe side take a sample of the water along to your pool shop and have it tested.
How do you get the film up off the bottom of the pool?
If there is a film laying on the bottom of the pool it is most likely that the pool has clarifier or floculant put in it. If so let the pool settle for a day or two until all of the clarifier and contaminant has settled to the bottom then turn the filter to waste and gently vacuum the cloudy material on the bottom of the pool to waste do not put floculant through the filtration vac it to waste.
You used 32 ounces of clarifier to your 30 round above ground pool for cloudiness The pool still looks cloudy what do you do?
If you are running the pump and filter for a few short hours it will never clear up no matter how much clarifier you add. Clean the filter first then run the pump for 24/7 until you can see and read a quarter at the main drain of your pool ~ or the deep end if you have no M/D. Adjust the chemicals as needed and follow allthe instructions on the clarifier bottle. Chlorine needs to be at of above3.5 to 5.0 or higher. pH at 7.6; Alkalinity at 80 - 120. k
How do you clear up an AG pool that has blue-gray cloudy water that feels almost slick?
my 21 ft ag pool was blue and cloudy. The cause was leaves and pine needles at the bottom. Once I got them out - i shocked it again (3 gallons) and that helped
Will a salt water pool be cloudy if you live around a lot of trees?
Not necessarily. It is cloudy because you have not cleaned the filter, added the proper amounts of chemicals, filtered long enough, added too much algaecide or other chemicals, over use - too many people in the pool, not rinsing yourself off before entering the pool -- all of the above and more..... k
Clear a cloudy pool when the chlorine is high and pH range is normal?
# Test the swimming pool water for Combined Chlorine, pH, Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. The two areas that are most likely to cause cloudy pool water are the pH and the Calcium Hardness. # If the pool chemical levels are not within the following suggested ranges, adjust the chemicals and run the pool filter system for 12-24 hours before re-testing. Free Chlorine: 1-3 ppm, pH: 7.2 - 7.6, Alkalinity: 90 - 120 ppm and Calcium Hardness: 200 - 350 ppm. # If all the pool chemical levels test in range, the cloudy pool water is caused by fine debris suspended in the pool water. You should backwash or clean your pool filter following the manufacturer's instructions, and run the pool filter system continuously for 24 to 48 hours. # If the water conditions have not significantly improved you should add a clarifier pool chemical to the pool water to help your pool filter remove the fine debris from the water. Continue filtering for 12 to 24 hours. # If the water conditions have not significantly improved you should add a second dose of clarifier, or a stronger clarifier chemical and continue to run your filtration system. # Sometimes a pool can be too cloudy for a clarifier. If this is the case you will have to move up to a floc. This will drop any suspended particles to the floor so you can vacuum it to waste. = It is common for pool water to become cloudy immediately after adding products to adjust the pool pH or Alkalinity. = If your pool water became cloudy within 6-8 hours of adjusting the pH or Alkalinity, continue circulating your water and it should clear within 24 hours as the water adjusts to the CHANGES YOU'VE MADE Suhail IsmailGENTECH UAE
