How to prevent cloudy water in your swimming pool or hot tub: A simple guide
Dec
Cloudy Water:
The cloudiness in water occurs because of suspended particles which the filter cannot capture and these particles mainly enter the water through bathers.
These particles include:
Environmental debris (dirt, grass)
Organic matter (dead skin, body oils)
Man-made contamination (cosmetics, detergents)
Other factors: Heavy bather load and low sanitiser levels.
Solutions: Testing and Balancing Water Chemistry: Maintaining correct pH, alkalinity, and sanitiser levels.
Shock Dosing: Oxidizing impurities with chlorine or non-chlorine shock treatments.
Filter Maintenance: Regular rinsing and monthly cleaning with specialized products; replacement every 12-24 months.
Clarifiers: Binding small particles for easier filtration.
Prevention: Showering before use (without soap).
Avoiding the use of lotions and cosmetics and detergents in the hot tub.
Using a foot bath.
Keeping the cover on when not in use.
Regular shock dosing and clarifier use.
Water Conservation:
Monitoring Water Use: Installing a water meter for awareness and cost tracking.
Preventative Maintenance: Regular maintenance is cheaper than reviving a neglected hot tub.
Minimizing Water Loss: Using hoses with trigger nozzles.
Repairing leaks promptly.
Avoiding splashing.
Reusing emptied water for gardening (with caution).
Reducing Evaporation:Keeping the cover on.
Maintaining lower water temperatures.
