Clear Cloudy Water Playbook

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

Use this when
  • 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
最初に行うこと

Separate filtration from chemistry. Cloudy water can be a filter problem, a sanitizer problem, or both.

してはいけないこと
  • Do not add clarifier or floc without knowing why the water is cloudy
  • Do not assume it is always algae
用意するもの

FC / CC / CYA / pH

0%0/25 done
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.

質問(4)

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.

水の透明度の目安
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

このときだけ使う

軽い透明度回復の流れは、藻や検査・循環不良の問題と切り分けてください。

ここで使う

水がくすみ、灰白色っぽい、またはかすんでいて、循環が良好で緑の発生が目立たないときはここから始めます。

使わない

目に見える藻、CC が 0.5 ppm を超える、または夜間塩素消費試験が不合格なら、この手順は違います。

写真で見る目安

確認する 4 段階は、わずかにかすむ、灰色でくすむ、乳白色または不透明、緑色またはまとわりつく、です。

次へ進む

1 日たっても水質が悪化するか、塩素消費が高いままなら、弱い処置を繰り返さず SLAM に進みます。

どのくらい濁っていますか?

かすみの段階を見て、軽い回復作業か、より大きな藻の問題かを判断します。

わずかにかすむ

底や器具がまだ見えます。流れを確認し、バスケットを掃除し、ろ過に時間を与えてください。

灰色でくすむ

透明度は落ちていますが、まだ緑にはなっていません。FC を一時的な透明度目標まで上げ、ポンプを回し続けます。

乳白色または不透明

浮遊物が多く、ろ過とブラッシングが本格的に必要です。24 時間後に再評価してください。

緑色またはまとわりつく

これは軽い透明度回復の流れではありません。藻または SLAM の手順へ進んでください。
