Cloudy water occurs when microscopic particles (oils, lotions, dead skin cells, minerals) are too small for your filter to capture. These particles remain suspended in the water, creating a hazy appearance.
The Clarifier Process:
- Coagulation: Clarifier molecules attach to tiny particles
- Clumping: Small particles bind together into larger clusters
- Filtration: Your filter captures the larger particle clusters
- Clarity: Water becomes crystal clear as particles are removed
If clarifier isn't working:
- Check pH & Alkalinity: Unbalanced water prevents clarifier from working effectively
- Clean Your Filter: A dirty filter can't capture particles – clean or replace it
- Extend Filtration: Run your filter longer (48-72 hours continuous)
- Check Sanitizer Levels: Low sanitizer can allow bacterial growth causing cloudiness
- Consider Water Age: Water older than 3-4 months may need to be drained and refilled
- Test for Metals: High iron or copper can cause persistent cloudiness
