How To Clear Pool Water: Your Step By Step Checklist

You may have already had to call in a pool maintenance service to solve this problem for you because it can be perplexing

. The reality, though, is that you could have easily solved your cloudy pool water and debris issues on their own if you just knew where to look and what to look for. So, if you have an automatic pool cleaner, and you're still plagued by water clarity and debris issues keep on reading to learn the solutions.

The first place to look is in the pumphouse, and the first thing to check is the pump itself by simply listening to it. Is it making any odd noises or producing a funny smell? Either of these can be pointing towards the pump motor that needs to be replaced or repaired. Now, if that checks out, and everything is fine with the pump motor, the next thing to look at is the screen filter on the pump, and the actual pool filter with an eye towards cleaning.

The next item to check in the hunt for the source of cloudy water, and debris is your automatic pool cleaner. So pull it up out of the water and go over carefully to make sure all the parts are moving as they should be and that there's nothing stuck up inside of it that would clog it. Also, if your pool vacuum has a bag on it check, make sure that there no "tears or holes" in it, that it's connecting up properly, and not leaking water.

Then if your problem is debris that seems to be building up in an area of your pool, such as up in the shallow end or in the bottom of the deep-end you need to check the "inflow and outflow" ports. These are the little ports on the side your pool and they need to be adjusted accordingly to create a "natural current" in your pool. It's this current that will keep debris moving about, so it can be sucked up and removed, and if the water going in and out of your ports isn't doing that properly they need to be adjusted.

Now if you have a pressure side or suction side pool cleaner your problem may be that the hose that's connected up to it isn't long enough. If the hose is too short this can prevent the cleaner from moving around the pool freely, so your problem may be that it just isn't reaching the area where you're debris is accumulating. So make sure that the hose is long enough, and that it, in fact, has a little extra slack in it as well.

Then finally, if you still haven't detected the source of your problem then the last place to check is the actual hose that runs the pool cleaner, to make sure that it doesn't have any cracks or holes in it. Remove it entirely from the pool, and then go over it from end to end to see if you can find any areas where it's broken. Then another thing you can do, is close off one end and blow in the other to apply pressure, to see if any is leaking out at holes, and cracks you may have missed.
