Acqua opaca, grigio-bianca o velata, con buona circolazione e senza crescita verde evidente, va affrontata qui per prima.

Clear Cloudy Water Playbook
Quick clarity recovery for dull or hazy water without jumping straight to a full SLAM.

- Quick clarity recovery for dull or hazy water without jumping straight to a full SLAM.
You'll need
- FC
- CC
- CYA
- pH
Stop and escalate if
- Do not add clarifier or floc without knowing why the water is cloudy
- Do not assume it is always algae
FAI QUESTO PER PRIMO
Separate filtration from chemistry. Cloudy water can be a filter problem, a sanitizer problem, or both.

1
Check Filter & Flow
Rule out mechanical issues before adding chemistry.
2
Test & Raise FC
Use a measured, temporary elevated-FC target while you verify this is not a full algae event.
3
Brush & Circulate
Dislodge suspended material and keep water moving so the filter can actually capture it.
4
Wait & Monitor
Let the chlorine and filter work before you introduce more products.
5
Evaluate & Decide
Use the result to decide whether to return to normal care, repeat the lighter workflow, or escalate.

How do I tell haze from algae?
Mild haze is usually gray or white and fairly uniform. Green, yellow, or clinging growth points to algae and usually requires SLAM.
Can I swim during this process?
Only if FC remains in a safe range for your pool and pH is in line. Recovery works best when circulation is uninterrupted, so plan around that.
Should I add clarifier right away?
Usually no. Give measured chlorine and proper filtration time to work before layering on products that can complicate the diagnosis.
What if the water is still cloudy after 48 hours?
Treat that as a sign the problem is bigger than a light haze event. Escalate to SLAM or a broader troubleshooting path.
Riferimento sulla limpidezza dell'acqua
Water Clarity Reference
What does your water look like?
Clear
Bottom details visible, water sparkles in sunlight
Hazy/Dull
Bottom visible but not sharp, water lacks sparkle
Cloudy/Milky
Cannot see bottom clearly, white/gray tint, may be dead algae or fine particles
Green
Visible green color, algae present, may still see bottom or steps
Dark Green
Cannot see bottom, heavy algae bloom, urgent SLAM needed
Usalo quando serve, e solo quando serve
Tieni il flusso per la limpidezza leggera separato dalle alghe e dai problemi di test o di circolazione.
Non usarlo
Alghe visibili, CC sopra 0,5 ppm o un test di perdita notturna fallito indicano che questa non e la strada giusta.
Scala fotografica
I quattro riferimenti visivi sono: appena velata, grigia e spenta, lattiginosa o opaca, verde o aderente.
Escalation
Se l'acqua peggiora o il consumo resta alto dopo un giorno, passa a SLAM invece di ripetere un passaggio debole.
Quanto e torbida?
Usa i pannelli di torbidita per capire se si tratta di un recupero leggero o di un problema di alghe piu grande.
Appena velata
Si vedono ancora il fondo e i raccordi. Controlla il flusso, pulisci i cestelli e lascia lavorare la filtrazione.
Grigia e spenta
L'acqua sta perdendo limpidezza ma non diventa verde. Porta l'FC al target temporaneo di limpidezza e lascia la pompa in funzione.
Lattiginosa o opaca
La sospensione e abbastanza intensa da richiedere lavoro reale a filtro e spazzola. Rivaluta dopo 24 ore.
Verde o aderente
Questo non e il flusso per la limpidezza leggera. Passa invece alla routine alghe o SLAM.
