I have a 44,000 gallon pool and I can not get it cleared up. Its cloudy in the middle and clear around the sides. I can see straight down on the sides of the pool. After trying everything I can think of and what the pool companies have told me. I put algaecide in it yesterday morning thinking well nothing is working maybe I need algaecide. My ph levels were 7.6 and my free chlorine and chlorine levels were normal as well. The pool now has a strong chemical smell about 16 hours after algaecide and if you jump in it has bubbles. Any suggestions on what I can do?
Hi Krissy, that smell and bubbles are from a Quaternary algaecide type. Polymer types, or copper types don’t have that odor or foam. So, that’s normal. For the cloudy water, look to your filter. Is it being run long enough each day? Run 24/7 until it clears… 44K is a big pool, is the filter also big? Is the filter media old? (sand or cartridges). I assume that you have tried a Clarifier?
Yes I’ve tried clarifier several different times. We just bought a new filter system for it. The guy that sold it to us told us it was plenty big. Its a glass filter system the water looks like it shots anout half way across the pool and we run the system 24/7 its been running like that since May
For a 44K pool, I would think the filter should be 27″ diameter, or even 30″. A 24″ tank could be too small, for situations like this. Water shooting across the pool? Perhaps the pump is too large for the filter? Just a thought, that would cause water clarity issues, if the pump was pushing water too fast thru the sand, or is exceeding the filter design flow rate, printed on the filter label.
One ides is to add a cup of alum to the skimmer – I think Leslie’s sells it https://blog.intheswim.com/how-to-use-alum-flocculant-in-pools/ Aluminum Sulfate. Another idea is to use a pool filter cleaner.
