If your pool looks cloudy, the cause usually lies in poor filtration, unbalanced chemistry, or debris buildup. Sparkling water starts with regular attention to small details.

1️⃣ Check Filter Pressure
A rising pressure gauge means your filter is getting clogged. Backwash or clean when it’s 8–10 psi above the normal starting pressure.

2️⃣ Skim Daily
Fallen leaves, pollen, and insects release organics that feed algae and make water dull. Skimming just a few minutes a day keeps things fresh.

3️⃣ Balance Water Weekly
Test pH, alkalinity, and chlorine. Unbalanced water causes cloudy conditions and reduces chemical efficiency.

4️⃣ Shock Monthly
A chlorine shock breaks down oils, sunscreen residue, and waste that regular chlorination can’t handle.

Pro Tip: If your pool still looks cloudy after shocking, check your filtration cycle — it might be time for a filter media replacement.
