How often should I clean my pool filter?
Pool filters should be cleaned every 4–6 weeks, or more frequently during heavy use or after storms. A dirty filter reduces circulation and can lead to cloudy or green water. How to clean a pool filter.
How long should a pool pump run each day?
In summer, pumps should run 8–12 hours per day, and in winter 4–6 hours. Proper circulation helps distribute chemicals and prevent algae growth. The answer to this will also depend on the amount of usage, size, equipment and surrounds.
What causes cloudy pool water?
Cloudy water is usually caused by poor filtration, incorrect pH levels, high phosphates or low or inefficient chlorine. Regular maintenance and correct chemical balancing will restore clarity. How does phosphates affect my pool?

Can I treat a green pool myself?
Minor algae issues can sometimes be treated with chemicals, but severe green pools usually require professional treatment, correct dosing, and filtration time to fully recover.

Rain dilutes chlorine, adds contaminants, and disrupts water balance — all of which create ideal conditions for algae growth.
Why won't my pool clear up even after adding the right chemicals?
This is often due to poor circulation, dirty filters, or incorrect chemical levels. Adding chemicals without fixing the root cause won’t solve the issue.
