5 Common Reasons Your Sarasota Pool Water Is Cloudy

Cloudy water is a symptom, not a problem — the cause could be chemistry, filtration, or bather load.

In Sarasota, common causes include high pH driving calcium out of solution (local water is hard), low free chlorine, a dirty filter loaded with pollen or storm debris, poor circulation, and heavy runoff from summer thunderstorms.

Test the water, correct pH first, verify chlorine, and run the filter continuously. If cloudiness doesn't clear in 48 hours, consider professional help before it becomes an algae bloom.
