Question about cloudy water when Heater is on

[Tcap]

Hi Sean,

Thanks. I turned off the SWG and the water comes out clear. I turn it back on and it seems to come out cloudy when it's generating chlorine. Any thoughts on why this happens?

At least I know my heater is not broken.

Thanks!
Tracy

I have a similar thing with my pool. When the heater is on the water coming out of the returns looks "different"....not quite cloudy but almost cloudy.

I always assumed it was beacuse that water is much warmer than the pool water...maybe a different density or something?

In any case, the pool remains crystal clear, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I believe what you are seeing is the warmer water is not as able to absorb the gas that is produced in the salt water cell. I don't have a salt water chlorinator but I have been reading about people noticing bubbles in there return lines. Cold water can absorb more bubbles than warm water. Think about how many bubbles escape when you open a warm bottle of soda as opposed to a cold bottle. I don't think it a problem and would not worry about it.
