Pahlén pool pump runs but water appears cloudy and circulation seems poor over time

Safety first: Normal operation adjustments only; no internal electrical work required.

• Increase runtime: Adjust the Pahlén controller schedule to run the pump longer, typically 8–12 hours per day depending on pool size and usage.
• Optimize speed: On variable-speed models, ensure that the filtration speed is high enough to achieve proper turnover through the Pahlén filter.
• Check for bypass: Verify that any bypass valves around heaters or filters are not diverting too much flow away from the filter.
• Maintain filter: Clean or backwash the filter regularly to maintain design flow.
