Cloudy water is a common problem in spa pools and swim spas. Your water needs to be tested regularly to find the cause so you can treat the issue.

Please be aware that a combination of the below issues may be contributing to cloudiness and water that doesn't appear crystal clear.

Most common causes of cloudy spa water and solutions:

Unbalanced water -  Test water and adjust using the appropriate chemicals

Not enough Sanitiser -  Use Spa Shock to increase to the correct level. If you are using BioGuard Armour, then use the Oxidiser dosage.

Unusual use – eg. visiting family or excessive bather load -  Shock treat, clean filters, use Spa Clarifier

Filter cartridges (not clean)- Clean filter cartridges with filter cartridge cleaner and rinse thoroughly

Filtration set up – Check suction, step up filtering to 4 hours/per day

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels - Dump and refill after using Pipe Degreaser

Overdosing with calcium hardness - Empty 1/3 of water and refill

Not enough calcium in water – Add calcium increaser

Pollutants from around the spa – eg: building, plant overhang etc - Use Spa World clarifier

Smelly when cover removed –  Clean underside of cover with Pipe Degreaser, rinse and dry in sun.

NOTE: Please also check the following:

For hard water – lower pH to 7 and Alkalinity to 80 ppm.

For tank water – check calcium and phosphate levels.
