Possible Causes

Dirty or undersized filter cartridge, Inadequate filtration cycle settings on Hydropool control, High bather load without sufficient sanitizer, Calcium precipitation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Cloudy water can harbor bacteria; avoid prolonged soaking until clarity is restored.

  • Clean or replace filters: Rinse filters thoroughly; if older than 1–2 years or heavily stained, replace with new Hydropool-compatible cartridges.
  • Increase filtration time: Adjust the control settings to run longer filtration cycles each day.
  • Balance water: Test and adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. Use a clarifier product if recommended.
  • Partial drain/refill: If cloudiness persists, drain a portion of the water and refill with fresh water, then rebalance.
