How Do You Diagnose And Clear Cloudy Swimming Pool Water?
• 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 (from a basic water chemistry standpoint) are the pH and the Calcium Hardness.’; } s += “”; document.write(s); return; } google_ad_channel = ‘+7733764704+1640266093+9911500640+9665908481+9016233241+8962074949+8941458308+9683278076+7122150828’ + xchannels + gchans; google_ad_client = “pub-9543332082073187”; google_ad_output = ‘js’; google_ad_type = ‘text’; google_feedback = ‘on’; google_ad_region = “test”; google_ad_format = ‘250x250_as’; //–> • 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 (the pool owner should be aware that the Total Chlorine level must be the same as the Free Chlorine, if the Total is higher, there exists Combined Chlorines or Chloramines. Combined Chlorine should be ZERO), pH:

Combined Chlorine should be ZERO), pH: 7.2 – 7.6, Total Alkalinity: 90 – 120 ppm (certain products such as PristineBlue require a TA of 80 ppm) and Calcium Hardness: 200 – 350 ppm. • If you are unable to maintain a solid chlorine or bromine level for at least 3 consecutive days without shocking, you may have a chlorine demand problem which will require special treatment & needs to be addressed before the
