How to Clear Cloudy Pool Water: Cloudy Pool Water Fix: Cleaning a Cloudy Pool: Cloudy Swimming Pool

On about day 6 of helping with my brother's gf pool. We went from black with leaves all in it to about 95% perfect. Between you and swim university I've become a "pool boy" thanks for the great real time pool videos

This is my first time leaving a pool open all summer and using chemicals. The water is sparkling and clean and balanced since I got it filled 2 months ago (2k gallon pool) I'm still learning new things everyday. My neighbors pool is about 15k gallons and cloudy and nasty and they invited me to come over swimming, ewww, disgusting!! I found that I find it relaxing screening out debris that falls or flies in and vacuuming the bottom clean. It's been a fun learning experience.

very nice of you. you helped me to clear my pool. wishing you best wishes from pakistan.

Thanks for the video. Really helpful 👍

I was wondering what that rinse was for 🤦🏽‍♀️….every time I backed wash dirt would spill back into the pool when I put it on filter.

That little critter looks like the adolescent western Montana fish bait! They are good for ripping lips on that river in the back ground. Another great video Justin.

Great video, but you should only move your multi port lever clock wise

Great job! Pool looks so much better. You are also right about the CYA. I have a swg and add CYA manually whenever necessary (I like to have a value of around 25, it protects enough against UV and with the 7.5% rule 2 to 2.5 ppm chlorine is sufficient. Whenever bonded chlorine is above 0.3 I shock using liquid chlorine as it doesn't have any CYA and unlike cal hypo it doesn't contain calcium. Only disadvantage is you cannot store it for more than 6 months. Thanks for the video and best regards. Forgot to mention that for floculantI use flovil which is a tablet you put in the skimmer. It improves the filter and works great.

My experiences are that the floculant will stay in the water long enough to vacuum two or maybe three times. With each vac time more and more debris is being removed.

Excellent video!

U wanna keep ur filter on when u add floc. I worked in commercial pools for 24 years and we had view ports on our filters. The floc creates a film on the sand bed and creates a layer of finer filtration than the sand. Also stops u having to do as much vaccing in the pool too. You can also extend the life of ur sand in the filter by adding hypo to the filter (40-60ppm) for at least an hour then backwash multiple times. Dirt over time binds to the sand and reduces efficiency. The shock dose to sand breaks a lot of the dirt off the sand

Great video! Quick question, you had mentioned if you were to add to much of the synthetic clarifier it may have a reverse effect 😬 so I'm wondering what can I do if I added to much and my pool is still cloudy. Thanks keep up the good videos!

I like your pool videos how you clean pool

Another tip: put your vacuum hose in front of your return to fill it with water.

Great video - thanks!! Note: That pool looks bigger than 20,000 gallons to me… maybe the lens but it looks pretty bug to me.

How much is a general cost to drain and clean pool please? My pool is about size of this pool ur demonstrating on

Great video! You covered so much useful information! I have a question about the Floc. I have heard you have to be careful with it because it can ruin your filter. So after you do the first vacuum, is it then safe to put the filter back to filter (vs recirculate)? Or what should I look for to know it’s safe to do so? Thanks!

Can you take basket out while you vacuum?

My ph is high 7.8- 8

likely trying floc today - very cloudy after algae and chlorine demand treatments - tried clarifier as well as normal vacuuming but did nothing
