Possible Causes

Dirty or worn filters, Insufficient filtration time, High bather load, Imbalanced pH or sanitizer levels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not use the spa if water clarity is poor; you cannot see the bottom clearly.

  • Clean or replace filters: Rinse MAAX filter cartridges thoroughly; replace if older than recommended or if pleats are damaged.
  • Increase filtration: Extend filtration cycle duration in the control settings.
  • Shock the water: Perform a shock treatment to oxidize organics.
  • Balance chemistry: Adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer to proper ranges.
  • Consider clarifier: Use a spa clarifier to help the filter capture fine particles.
