How to prevent cloudy water in your swimming pool or hot tub: A simple guide

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.
