How to Fix a Cloudy Pool After Rain

Fixing a Cloudy Pool

Before beginning any post-rain  storm pool cleaning, ensure you do the following:

• Empty skimmer and pump baskets. If you don’t the accumulated debris in the pool will clog the baskets and reduce the flow of water.

• Remove large debris and leaves from the water. They will influence the water chemistry of the pool and potentially stain your pool’s surface.

• Test your pool water. Your local Poolwerx offers free water testing, and can provide personal recommendations to bring your pool back to health.

If you can’t see the pool floor (but your water is non-green in colour), then you have a cloudy pool. Always check your filter before beginning treatment of your cloudy pool, and visit your local Poolwerx for a free water test.

If your pool water is cloudy because your water has been diluted your chlorine, salt or minerals, consider using Vitalyse Crystal Clear in conjunction with a shock treatment. After heavy rain, we often recommend Vitalyse Shock n Swim Plus to get your pool back on track.
