    Default Re: Dirty water

    1. What kind of pool do you have?

    2. What color is your water? Is it cloudy, too?

    3. What are your pH and chlorine readings? (Go get a cheapo OTO / phenol red drops kit, if you don't have one.)


    Meanwhile:

    1. Run your pump 24/7. If you have an Intex or Summer Escapes pool, order the appropriate Unicel cartridges (see http://pool9.net/ssr/

    2. Maintain adequate chlorine levels -- use bleach or dichlor as needed. You do NOT want a pool that is dirty + algae filled.
