To clear a cloudy pool, start by testing the water to determine if there are chemical imbalances such as low chlorine levels, high pH, high cyanuric acid or improper alkalinity. Adjust these levels as necessary using the appropriate pool chemicals.
Next, check that the pool’s filtration system is functioning correctly by cleaning or backwashing the filter. Shock the pool with a chlorine-based or non-chlorine shock treatment to eliminate organic contaminants.
Finally, use a pool clarifier to help bind small particles and allow them to be removed by the filter system.
