A land flowing with milk and honey... although everyone would like to live in such a place, not everyone would like to have this 'milk' in their pool. Sometimes, however, it happens that the water we have in our pool becomes turbid and turns an unexpected white colour. This is certainly not a 'miracle' of any kind, but a sign that there is something wrong with the water. Fortunately, this is not an insoluble problem and does not involve replacing all the water in the pool.
The milky colour and cloudy water is associated with particles floating in the water, forming a suspension that gives the 'milk' effect. This happens when we neglect to clean the pool. There are too many organic impurities in the water. This is why, in addition, there is an unpleasant smell.
Apparently we used too little disinfectant, hence the symptoms. If we can say with our hand on our heart that we followed the manufacturer's recommendations, take a look at the filter. It is probably dirty because it has not been rinsed regularly.
Whether we have used too little chemistry or the filter has not been properly cleaned the water 'repair' looks the same.
Thoroughly rinse your pool filter:
This point is quite often forgotten by customers, and undoubtedly regular rinsing of the filter, is a guarantee of keeping the bed in good condition and of optimal water flow through the pool filter.
With moderate use of the pool, the filter should be rinsed once every 14 days, and with increased occupancy once every 7 days.
Check the pH of the pool water with a suitable tester.
Adjust the pH to the appropriate level:
Depending on the readings you obtained when measuring the water with the tester, you must now bring the pH of the pool water to a level of 7.0 - 7.4. It is in this range that the chlorine will work optimally achieving its maximum chemical effectiveness.
Of course, to lower the pH of the water, use pH Minus and to raise the pH of the water, use pH Plus accordingly.
Carry out shock chlorination - use shock chlorine:
This procedure is nothing more than a sudden increase in the chlorine content of the water, thanks to which we will eliminate all the micro-organisms that are present in the pool.
So-called 'chlorination' is another way of saying a breaking point, which will give you the effect of crystal-clear pool water.
Procedure (with filtration activated)
Apply coagulant in the form of cartridges:
Along with the application of the shock chlorination discussed earlier, include a flocculant in cartridges in the operation as well - this will aid the crystallisation of the water and cause the dirt to clump together in so-called 'clusters' - in other words, it will improve the filtration process.
Note: After the coagulant has been applied, the pool filter will (plan) become dirty more quickly and will need to be rinsed out more quickly.

If the problem recurs, it is worth checking and replacing the filter bed with a new one. Its service life is approximately 1-2 years. The service life of the filter glass is longer
Turbidity and a milky colour are not only signs of cleanliness neglect. Although waterworks strive for the best possible water parameters, the water may be too hard. This is mainly caused by a high concentration of minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium salts. It is these that precipitate out and cause the water to become turbid.
This is easy to recognise, as a rough and craggy deposit appears on the pool walls. This is actually deposited scale. It's not our fault, it's just the water. Fortunately, we are able to change things and make the water clear.
Mechanically remove the dirt with a brush:
Try to manually scrape the deposits off the walls with a brush or hoover before proceeding with the whole procedure.
Thoroughly rinse the pool filter:
With moderate use of the pool, the filter should be rinsed once every 14 days, while with increased occupancy it should be rinsed once every 7 days.
Use a water hardness control agent:
Scale water is 'hard', so use special pool chemicals to soften the water.
If the limescale cannot be removed with a brush and a vacuum cleaner, use a pool cleaner
Adjust the pH to the correct level:
Depending on the readings you obtained when measuring the water with the tester, you now need to bring the pH of the pool water to a level of 7.0 - 7.4. It is in this range that the chlorine will perform optimally obtaining its maximum chemical effectiveness.
Crystal-clear water is the goal of every pool owner. The result is achievable if we follow three key principles: filtration, the use of pool chemicals and mechanical cleaning.
Conscientious adherence to the recommendations of chemical manufacturers and high-quality equipment is a guarantee of crystal-clear water, without any signs of turbidity or colour change.

This is a sign that too much coagulant has been used. Unfortunately, but the situation cannot be saved and a complete replacement of the filter bed remains.
An overdose of antigloss agent also causes the water to become turbid. Simply discontinue it and the situation will return to normal.
There are special strip testers that make it easy to check what level of hardness our water has. Some of the photometers also offer this possibility.

Jestem bardzo zadowolona z usług tej firmy. Każdy nam odmawiał pomocy, nawet firma montująca basen. Pool system zjawił się i doprowadził basen sprzed paru lat do stanu używalności, co więcej dokonał napraw uszczelniających co spowodowało ze basen stał się w pełni sprawny. Naprawdę polecam !
Bardzo miła i sympatyczna obsługa oraz fachowe doradztwo techniczne.
Bardzo profesjonalna i cierpliwa obsługa. Odbierają telefony, wszystko dokładnie wytłumaczą, wysyłają praktycznie na drugi dzień każdą część którą potrzebuje klient. Pan Krzysztof z serwisu rzetelnie podpowie co zrobić i jak rozwiązać swój basenowy problem, jeśli chcemy majstrować przy basenie sami. Pan Paweł i Marcin też skarbnica wiedzy technologii basenowej. Dobre ceny. Polecam firmę i pozdrawiam zespół POOLSYSTEM
Jak budujesz basen to to miejsce jest dla ciebie, osprzęt, doradztwo i miła obsługa.
Super obsługa doradzi pomoże,ceny na duży plus .Polecam
Bardzo mili ludzie, to naprawdę profesjonaliści. Nie lubię zakupów, ale spotkanie z Nimi było bardzo przyjemne.
