Brown Clouds

[jiwild1]

I have brown clouds in the bottom of my pool. It is so fine that it goes rite through my filter. I have shocked and tested water and all is good. I have changed filter 2 to 3 times a day to no avail. I vacuum and it comes back out of my return. I don't know what it is or how to get rid of it. It is so fine u can't even fill it. I'm stumped.

[Smaller IS better]

Apparntly nobody likes helping on this board so I'll give it a try.

First the bottom of the pool gets the least circulation, point the pump output straight across the bottom of the pool. A typical "Donut" pattern of water circulation in a round pool will leave dirty water in the center. Thats why you need to shoot water toward the bottom and across the center of a round pool.

Also try a adding a little clarifier to the pool water, it makes very fine dust stick together so your filter can capture dirt. Takes about 48 hours then the dirt will fall to the bottom of the pool.

I use it on a Intex cartridge filter pool and it definetly makes the water Crystal Clear.

But it makes the dirt stick to the cartridges causing you to replace them more often ( won't wash out ).

You can buy Clarifier at Wal-mart I use the blue/purple color liquid.

It removes the electrical charge on dirt that keeps dirt from sticking to each other.

Use very little pouring a little several places around the pool then run the pump or swim to mix it up.

In a couple of days the water will be perfectly clear and the bottom of the pool will have black dirt and need vacuming. After vacuming rinse out the filter cartridge to get it out of your filter.

Anyway, thats what I do and thats how it works.

I don't like to use it but everyone wants perfectly clear water.
