Common Pool Water Problems and How to Solve Them
                     Common Pool Water 
Problems and How to 
Solve Them 
 Owning a pool is great for relaxation and 
entertaining, but it also requires proper 
maintenance to keep the water safe and 
clean. Here are some common pool water 
problems and their solutions. 
Cloudy Water 
If your pool water appears cloudy or 
hazy, it could be caused by poor 
filtration, high pH levels, or algae 
growth. To solve this problem, check 
and clean your pool filter regularly, 
adjust the pH levels, and use an 
algaecide. 
Green Water 
If your pool water has turned green, 
it's likely due to algae growth. Shock 
your pool with a high dose of chlorine 
and algaecide, and scrub the walls and 
floor to remove any remaining algae. 
High Chlorine Levels 
While chlorine is essential for killing 
bacteria and keeping pool water safe, 
too much chlorine can cause skin and 
eye irritation. Test your water 
regularly and adjust the chlorine levels 
as needed. 
Algae Growth 
Algae can also grow on pool walls, 
steps, and other surfaces, making 
them slippery and unsafe. Use a brush 
and pool cleaner to remove algae 
buildup, and add algaecide to prevent 
future growth. 
Low Chlorine Levels 
On the other hand, low chlorine levels 
can lead to bacteria growth and 
unsafe swimming conditions. Make 
sure to add the appropriate amount of 
chlorine to your pool on a regular 
basis. 
pH Imbalance 
An imbalanced pH level can cause skin 
and eye irritation, as well as damage to 
pool equipment. Use a pH testing kit to 
check the levels and add the 
appropriate chemicals to balance the 
pH.
