Causes of cloudy water:

Often, cloudy pool, spa or hot tub water may be caused by improper filtration or lack of sanitizers such as chlorine. If these causes have been ruled out, you may be dealing with suspended particulate matter in the water. Suspended particulate matter can be any of the following:

• Contamination from swimmers or bathers
• Dirt
• Silt
• Organic matter
• Algae
• Suntan oils and lotions
• Bacteria and protozoa
• Minerals and metals

Water clarity in pools, spas and hot tubs is important for three reasons:

Disease prevention. Cloudy water can harbor bacteria and viruses, which can cause earaches, pinkeye, skin rashes and flu-like symptoms. (Please see our RWI Guide for more information.)

Appearance: Unsightly, cloudy, or discolored water makes swimming undesirable. In spas and hot tubs, cloudy, foamy or discolored water makes the soaking experience less enjoyable.

Swimmer safety: Risk of drowning increases with cloudy water. Swimmers in the water are in danger if those entering the pool can’t see them under the cloudy water. If someone is in trouble underwater and can’t be seen because of water cloudiness, the risk of drowning increases.
