If the water in a Baquacil pool is cloudy and has white stuff floating it how do you fix what stuff?
To fix cloudy water and white stuff floating in a Baquacil pool, follow these steps:
1. Test the water: Use a pool water test kit to check the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels of the water. Make sure the pH is between 7.2 and 7.8, the alkalinity is between 80 and 120 ppm, and the sanitizer level is within the recommended range (as indicated on the Baquacil product you're using).
2. Adjust the pH and alkalinity: If necessary, adjust the pH and alkalinity of the water using pH increaser or decreaser, and alkalinity increaser or decreaser. Follow the instructions on the product labels for proper use and dosing.
3. Add a clarifying agent: Add a clarifying agent, such as a flocculent or coagulant, to the pool water. These agents help to bind together small particles and make them easier to filter out. Follow the dosage instructions on the product label.
4. Run the filter: Run the pool filter continuously for 24 to 48 hours to allow the clarifying agent to work. This will help to remove the white stuff and other particles from the water.
5. Backwash the filter: After the filter has been running for 24 to 48 hours, backwash it to remove the trapped particles. Follow the instructions in your pool filter manual for how to properly backwash the filter.
6. Rinse the filter: After backwashing, rinse the filter to remove any residual particles. Follow the instructions in your pool filter manual for how to properly rinse the filter.
7. Add the recommended amount of Baquacil shock treatment: This will help to kill any bacteria or algae that may be causing the cloudiness and kill the white stuff
8. Continue regular pool maintenance: Maintain proper water chemistry and regularly clean and maintain your pool filter to prevent future problems with cloudy water and white stuff floating in the pool.
