If you work with a pool contractor, the chances of this happening are minimal, but can still occasionally occur.

Why is the pool water cloudy?

What will your pool contractor do to address the issue?

  • Low levels of disinfectant in the water can lead to cloudy water; he will check the levels.
  • He will check to make certain the pump is working correctly.
  • Strainers and the filter will be checked to assure they are not clogged.
  • The cloudy look could be caued by air bubbles. Bubbles can get into the water if the lid on the strainer is loose and is aerating the water.
  • All of the pool chemicals will be tested and balanced, if necessary, to assure the chemical ratio isn’t causing the issue.

When you work with a swimming pool service contractor, your work on the pool will be minimal — skimming debris and perhaps adding chlorine after the swim day is done — but you should pay attention to any changes in the pool and contact a pool service contractor if you don’t know what’s caused the change or don’t know how to address it.

Working with a pool contractor relieves a lot of stress about pool maintenance, but you are still your best advocate for the pool and will likely be the first to notice if something is amiss.
