Clearing Up a Cloudy Above Ground Pool (Step-by-Step)

Great information, easy to follow and apply. Thank you so much for putting this here for us.

What if we only have a vacuum with a cloth debris catch?

the best video for pool owners so far

I will just be patient with clarifier. I had a night marevwith flock!

I am sooooo thankful you AGP!!!

I have an issue that NO ONE has addressed. I’m short, have an above ground pool and can’t clean or vacuum without getting into the water(no deck, just a ladder). At what point is it safe after super shocking my pool, to get into the water!!! HELP, please

Thank you. 👍

I wish you were still online, Chad. You are amazing and so informative.

I have 22’x52” intex pool w algae on bottom. Can I hook my cheap intex vacuum (one that came w that uses hose water) by placing pool hose on part that filter bag usually goes on?

My pool became cloudy after u shocked it. What can u do to get it cleared up? I had chlorine from last year that I poured in it could that be affecting my pool. What do u recommend I do at this point

I been struggling for 2 weeks with cloudy water and I want to say thanks floc was the best chemical I used I finally seen clear water in 1 day I wanted to cry 😭 lol thanks a lot

My pool became cloudy after shocking it last night. And this morning I added 2 chlorine tablets. It was fine all day until about 3 pm it become cloudy really quick. We previously had it emptied and cleaned the floor from old algae.

The only person I’ve found who actually knows how to explain it

Liked and prescribed. I have a lot to learn as a new pool owner.

What if filter doesn't have waste setting??

Great video thanks, do you have a video for yellow stains on bottom of swimming pool? I’ve bought some stain lift but it keeps coming back

Is waste & backwash the same I only have bkwash rinse winter & filter options...help😢

Nice to see a video that you can actually understand. Keep up the good work.

A better video does NOT exist. This IS IT!!!

When you say clean your filter, do you mean backwash and rinse filter?

What about if you have a cartridges filter?

Just watched your video. Have never had a need for a video like this till now!! Moved to a new home and different state. Now we have Above Ground Pool!!. Never have I ever had or maintained a pool!! Is there a way to get a link to the PDF? I see is no longer available 😕. It would be Greatly Appreciated 😎😎🙏🙏🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️

Does the pool flock work for stock tank pools?

What brand of foculent is the best to use

This is the best video I have seen. The videos I watch before said if your filter is putting sand back in pool you need to change the sand out. So after change the sand I went to vaccuum all the debris off the bottom of the pool! I start vacuuming and with in a few minutes the pool is turning brown again! Now I know it because it to fine to go throughthe filter. I put PH down and clarify in the pool. So we will wait till tomorrow and see what happens.

I can’t wait to try this! Leslie pool told us something different and it’s not cleared up. I’ll keep you posted

Thank you! Don's pool Rialto Ca. Is right on the money. Your free advice is greatly appreciated. Nothing wrong with a second opinion. God Bless you...

I am following your instructions. I am struck in the first few steps. My pool is mildly cloudy after adding baking soda. The pH is 6.5, alkalinity 40 ppm and free chlorine 2 ppm. Do I have a microscopic debris problem? What should I do next?

My pool had a rust Colour from using my well water
So I shock it last night and this morning it was cloudy what should I do

My levels are good except alkalinity is 180 and won’t come down using MA over a 2 day period. Now water is cloudy/milky. I struggle with maintaining a detectable chlorine level of .5 since I have a Mineral system as well. When I súper-shock it takes a couple days for FC(low)level to get remotely close to CC(high). Pools first summer, cartridge filter w/nature2 mineral cartridge. Pls help

Just used flux and green is gone but still cloudy

What’s it mean when your ph on tester is light pink?

With it being so hot it is a struggle to keep everything balanced. I have cloudy water also.

What if you’re ph is low?

Okay I've added a whole bag of calcium, alkalinity, shock it, I cleaned my filter and my circulation is great and the filters are good pH balance is good 7.2 , chlorine little high but I've done chlorine stabilizer I've shocked it I have vacuumed it I put drop out in it I put,Algae Guard

Thank you so much, my kids were about to cut my head off 😂😂😂

I’m a new pool owner,my level are fine and is very cloudy,but every video I watch they said that flock only work in sandfilter because of the option to vacuum to waste, I have a nonsandfilter ,cartridge B can I flock and not damage my pump and filter?? Please help, great video 👍👍👍

Great tutorial!! And thank you for explaining what the chemicals do! If helps us to remember what to do when we understand it!!

Can you tell me how often I need to shock a 7m X 4m above ground pool ?

How do I know if I have put wrong amount of sand or done something wrong with this as I think the pump is the problem with my cloudy pool initially it was putting brown water or sand into the pool

I appreciate your knowledge and easy to understand video. Thank you so much!

Thank you for giving me the different options. Came back from vacation and forgot to hve my friend empty the skimmer basket. Pool was finally clear before and now its been green for a week. I am glad you gave the turn your pump off to let it settle option. That's the route I'll be doing. I have faith this will work. Good info in 1 video. thanks!

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks.

If ur putting in too much chemicals will it make it cloudier?

Thank you

Awesome video! Thanks so much!

Thank you thank you 😊

A good, powerful pump and large DE filter will stop that.

Really clear instructions. Thank you very much 😊
