i have a 18x36above ground pool.All levels are right with my pool. but it is still a milky cloudy blue color. what can i do i will try anything.thank you
Make sure your filters are in good shape. Typically, they only last 2 - 4 years. If they appear "fuzzy", and the pressure is high, you may need to replace them. Also, there could be a hole somewhere in the pleats that's letting unfiltered water back into the pool. If the problem is not the filters, try using a clarifier (available at Leslie's Pool Supply or other retail pool stores).

When the pool water is cloudy?
an indication the chlorine is not working effectively.
Cloudy pool free chlorine is not reading stabilizer is low but pH is ok?
Add chlorine and stabilizer.
What if your total chlorine is high and your free chlorine is low?
You need to shock the pool. The difference between Total Chlorine and Free Chlorine is tied up and it will be cleared by shocking. Thatis the purpose of shocking.
Are chlorine tablets good for pool?
They just get weaker. Be careful to put them in a dry place with no a lot of humidity or they will give off a chlorine odor. Some tablets have the conditioner in them. If there is the conditioner can get stronger while the chlorine gets weaker thus giving your pool a cloudy look.
Can you shock the pool and add clarifier?
It may kill the algae but the algae needs to be filtered or the pool will remain green and cloudy You need to dissolve the chlorine and pour around the pool then brush the pool in order to not damage your plaster. This will help get the chlorine throughout the pool.
We have no free chlorine in the pool how much salt do you need to add?
That depends on the size of your pool and the level of salt your chlorine generator needs to properly function (usually 3200-3400ppm). If you do not have a quality salt test, I recommend bringing a sample of your water to a local pool store to be tested. Bring your chlorine generator's manual with you and they will help you find where it shows how much salt to add. If your pool has been low on chlorine for more than a day or two, or if the water is cloudy or green, you will need to add some liquid chlorine to assist the chlorine generator in clearing it up.
Would the sand filter being messed up have anything to do with cloudy ness in the pool?
Yes. Add more chlorine until you get the filter repaired. Hatawa
How can you remove skunk spray from swimming pool water?
Use extra chlorine for about a week to shock the pool. As long as the water stays clear, you don't have a problem. If the pool gets cloudy, consult a professional.
What do you do with the water in a new pool?
Check the chemicals with a pool test kit sold at most stores like Walmart or Kmart or a pool store. It shows how to check for PH balance and Chlorine. You must keep your chemicals balanced or the water will get cloudy or worse, green.
IS IT CLOUDY?
The water in a pool can be cloudy because the chemicals are not balanced. If people wear sunscreen and go in the pool before it has soaked in it can also cause the water to become cloudy.
