Cloudy pool water fix

Cloudy pool water fix. In this video I show you exactly what to do and how to fix a cloudy pool. It’s so easy but you need to know the right product you have to use. It’s amazing how quickly I got my pool looking so crystal clear. There’s two main reasons your pool might be cloudy. One could be that you have a high PH in the water, which clarifier will help. But you could also have a problem with microscopic debris floating in the water, in which you need flocculant.

I cant vacuum to waste with my current pump, just have an intex battery operated vacuum....what do i do with the stuff on the bottom after i floc if i cant waste the water?
@LifeLessOrdinary
@LifeLessOrdinary Год назад
You are very limited if you don’t have a filter with the waste option. Possibly use a long hose and create a siphon.

@@anthonyfortier3924ey there I had replaced my Hayward pump because it stopped working but actually I realized a year later because I didn’t throw it away, that the old pump was still working. So as this guy did in the video I had extra water in the pool, then I had my hoses hooked up to the old pump, had the pump sucking the water out of the pool as I vacuumed and just shot the water out the pump toward a downhill slope into a drain. It worked. I just created my own pool pump that sat outside the pool and I didn’t use the pool pump connected to the entire pool system or filtration system. If you have the hoses and you have the vacuum piece, and you have an additional pump you can do the same thing. My pool is in-ground, huge 32,000 gallon, in the backyard of a home that was built in 1950, and then an addition to the home was added in the 1970’s. I’m not sure how old the pool is itself, but manage it the best I can. This year 2023 I’m repainting it. Always lots to do…

@@LifeLessOrdinaryI bought it and put it in the pool. I have a thought tho. If the particles don’t get caught in the filter now; will it get caught when vacuuming ? I have a cartridge filter, not a sand with waste outlet “ Does this work for cartridge ? Btw My pool looked clear but when I took tarp off, algae on the tarp fell into the pool. That’s what got me here.

If you have a cartridge filter you cannot vacuum into the filter it needs to go out Of the pool. Your best bet you be to try and siphon it out somehow.

Hey man I just wanna say thanks for the video. It’s well done and it did the trick for my pool. My wife and I tried every chemical combination for cloudy water that google had and nothing worked. I came across this video and we tried it last night. I ran out before leaving for work and there was quite a lot of stuff on the bottom, but I could actually see the bottom. My wife will be vacuuming it today while I’m work, using our original sand filter (we upgraded to a cartridge filter shortly after getting the pool last year). Anyway, keep up the great work!

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!! I had a large splash super pool for 15 years zero problems keeping it cleaned, it had a large cartridge filter with a 1.25hp pump. I took it down a few years ago and this year got a Costco Bestway 12'x22' with the sand filter. Having pool knowledge I started this up and treated it like normal, and like you I could not clear up the cloudiness. I went to 2 different local pool shops and they were ZERO help and hardly friendly. You would think being in the pool business for years they could offer some help, I personally have always tried to do local business, yes I know the prices are way more than online, but I have always felt being able to pick their brains for years of knowledge was with the extra costs, sadly they were off-putting. I installed the Hayward skimmer and did the floc treatment at the same time. The floc worked as you showed, a huge thanks!!!!!! The Hayward skimmer is also way better, my pool is circulating water much better, and the vacuum attachment is better. Huge thanks again 👍🏻

The pool company I use is rubbish. Are there proper courses or training for pool maintenance for those doing it as a business. Serious question. Don’t be like my company, they wouldn’t even teach me basic maintenance. Installed so called repaired pump (found deteriorated lid gasket after ‘repair’), and told us to prime it before use. Didn’t even put it on for us. Be a good pool maintenance person, they seem to be hard to find in my country. Good luck.

I’ve got a 22’ pool, before that we had an 18’ pool. Usually stayed clear all summer. But if we didn’t keep enough chlorine in it it sometimes when cloudy. We would just throw about 2 gallons of liquid chlorine in there, next day clear as a whistle. We have a 3,000gph sand filter pump too so that’s always nice.

I live in SC where its hot and humid and loads of rain at one time. My pool came with the built in filter return pump which worked great until it got super hot for weeks on end. Save yourself the headache and get a sand filter pump if you have long periods of high temps. The little paper filter pump does great but isn't the best for hot climates and you'll end up with an algae problem sooner or later. Plus you will find a sand filter pump will get you more power for the vac. Well worth a couple hundred more dollars. Make sure to shock weekly or twice a week. When your chlorine levels are low algae will grow.

That’s incorrect you can use floc but you have to take the filter out and use the vacuum adapter for your pool (may have to get separately) then the (out) hose on the filter housing that puts the water back into the pool needs to be disconnect which would create a waste disposal. Just find something to plug the hole in the pool where the water comes back in.

I have never had a problem with my water..the occasional cloudiness that a little clarifier. We had just shocked our pool and I added a littler clarifier bc it had rained a few times, well then a flash flood came..rained 2-5 inches in a few hours and my pool is green. We have shocked and used clarifier but I think our automatic vacuum cleaner is some of the problem..I noticed it kicks up a lot of the algae that settles to the bottom..guess I gotta go manual. Thanks for the video!

When I started using granulated floc years ago, another pool owner advised me to remove the vacuum head, and just to tape the hose on slightly past the sharp edge of the pole. I've never used the brush head since, even during the course of regular vacuuming. For some reason it ups the suction power, and this method picks up a much wider area of the floc debris, or anything else....really quickly so less patience and time is required.

Thanks for this video! First time having cloudy water. Probably because we left it uncovered and had to start with cleaning a green, swampy pool! Waiting for the lizard man to pop out of that mess! Our pool is 27 round and it’s very hard to reach but so far and clean from the deck and keep the brush on the floor to move slow. I’ve even used a ladder to try and reach the where there’s no pool deck and still having trouble. Would my robot work or you think it will stir up too much?

As a pool service Co owner, the little extra cost of the flocculent has saved me a ton of time on some stubborn green pool cleanups. When you get to the point of algae dead, water blue, but still cloudy- use the flocc and vac to waste just as he mentions.

How many days do you need to vacuum to waste. i bought a new house with a pool and My pool was really cloudy. Added the drop out and vacuumed to waste and there was a ton at the bottom the first day now everyday when i come back there’s just a little bit in the bottom and i vacuum to waste again. Going on about day three. Is that normal ?

I am going to go there and get some now and hopefully be able to see my bottom for the 1st time in 4 weeks.

A pH test could have saved you buying the fix for high pH. If you are conserving water, have a secondary tub/tank to receive your waste water, with a smaller diameter, the vacuumed silt will collect on the bottom, refill the pool from clear water off the top.

Clarifier still works if the ph level is stable. All clarifier does is helps small debris particles to bind together and make it large enough for the filter to pick up. It can take the clarifier multiple days to do its job sometimes though and you may need to repeat the process multiple times, but if your in no hurry to get into the pool clarifier is a lot easier.

we have a robotic pool vacuum, it’s cordless so it does not use hoses that connect to the pool. meaning i can’t put the filter on the waste setting. not sure what to do because everytime we put the vacuum to run, it lifts up and dusts up all of the dirt from the bottom and makes the pool look dirty.
