Pump runs but pool water remains cloudy or dirty despite apparent circulation.

Safety First: Turn OFF pump before adjusting valves; programming changes can be made with power on.

• Increase speed and run time: On Rheem variable‑speed models, raise the RPM during filtration cycles and extend daily run time to achieve at least one full turnover of pool volume.
• Verify valve positions: Ensure water is actually passing through the filter and not bypassing via a heater bypass or recirculate setting.
• Clean the filter: Backwash or clean cartridges to restore full flow.
• Monitor pressure and flow: Adjust speed until you see strong return flow and appropriate filter pressure.
