After all the expense and disruption of installing a swimming pool the last thing you want is a cloudy unattractive pool that no one wants to use. Often it can be very difficult and time-consuming to get it clear.

Follow our 10 point plan to avoid this happening.

1. Make sure to use an Algaecide at the recommended dose rates. Use either a long life Algaecide which is usually applied every six months, or a weekly one, which is cheaper but more time-consuming. Use of these chemicals will help inhibit the algae growth, but not remove it.

2. Poor filtration system. It is possible that your filter and or pump are too small for your size pool. Seek advice from a professional and up-grade your equipment as required.

3. Constant backwashing. In some ways it is necessary to keep a certain amount of rubbish inside the filter. If the sand is not dense and compacted inside the filter, then it is possible that small pieces of debris will not be caught, and go back to the water instead. Read More…
