At the Bensonhurst, Brooklyn Bally's I swim at the water is always cloudy. They did pool maintenance last month and emptied the pool. Right off the bat the refill was cloudy and has remained so. I mentioned it to the lifeguard and he assured me in broken English that it was very clean, despite the inability to see the bottom at the six foot end.
It was cloudy before the refill if I remember correctly too. I see the guards testing the water now and then with a test tube and some kit of something, for whatever that's worth.
What could be going on here?
There are many reasons for cloudy water. The most commom causes are improper filtration, insufficient water circulation or flow rate., and poor water chemistry. The early stages of algae growth also cloud the water. Cloudiness is the result of the presence of small particles that are too miniscule to be filtered and are unable to be removed by oxidation. Environmental factors such as wind, Rain and vegetation contribute to the existence of these particles. Bathers also contribute to the problem by depleting the available disinfectant and contaminating the water with dry skin flakes, bacteria, residues on the skin and cosmetics.
