Possible Causes
Insufficient sanitizer (chlorine/bromine), Dirty or undersized filter cartridge, High bather load without water changes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not use the spa if water is visibly contaminated or has an odor; this can pose health risks.
- Test water: Use SaluSpa-compatible test strips to check sanitizer, pH, and alkalinity levels. Adjust chemicals to recommended ranges.
- Clean/replace filter: Rinse the filter thoroughly or replace if older than 2–4 weeks of use.
- Shock treatment: Apply a spa shock treatment according to product instructions to oxidize organic contaminants.
- Increase filtration: Run the filtration cycle longer each day to improve clarity.
- Partial drain: If water remains cloudy, drain 50–100% and refill with fresh water, then balance chemicals.
Warning: Always follow chemical manufacturer instructions and never mix chemicals directly together.
