call the pool peoples normal pump pressure is usually around 20psi your pump may be to small.depends on the volume of your pool and the size of your sand filter.it should tell you on your sand filter. also your flow rate should be checked.normally 80 gpm. if you go to your local pool company they are more than happy to inform you. do not buy cheap products!!! ask for bio cl it will clear your water. be patient with it.it took time to become cloudy it takes time to heal the wound. take a sample of water with you to the pool store.it is free to evaluate. gl

What is the easiest way to get rid of cloudy pool water?
pump it out
Will low pump pressure cause water to get cloudy?
Cloudy water is usually the result of dissolved solids in the water, or dissolved air bubbles in the water.
Why pool water cloudy while using solar cover?
cloudy water is due to bad filteration pump needs to be run for at least 12 hours aday . i keep mine on all the time unless pool is in use . i never used to and always had cloudy water a friend told me what to do now i have clear water all the time hope this helps you.
I have a 33 foot pool with 28000 gal. of water. Does the pool pump have to run all the time?
No. Leave your filter running at least 8 hours per day, longer if your pool appears cloudy.
Is pool pump pressure effected by chemical imbalance?
Yes, pool pump pressure can be affected by chemical imbalance in the pool water. For example, high levels of total dissolved solids or oils can cause the filter to clog more quickly, leading to higher pressure. It's important to maintain proper water chemistry to prevent these issues and ensure the pump operates efficiently.
Why does my swimming pool pressure drop after a few minutes?
If the clarity of your water is hazy/cloudy or green, then that is the nature of a diatomaceous earth filter. They filter down so small that they build up back-pressure quicker than other filters. This should also be reflected when you backwash the filter as you will see dirty water coming out. If your pool water is not cloudy or green you may be adding too much DE when you charge the system. You may have air being introduced into the system. Lubricate the O-Ring under your pump lid with Teflon-based grease and examine the lid itself for hairline cracks. Also check the pump pot (housing) for cracks.
What is a pump seal for in-ground pool?
Main reason for pump seal (mechanical seals) in a pool pump any pump for that matter is to contain liquid (water in this case) in the pump and hold prime and pressure. Other reasons, lower friction,reliability it can last for years.
Self cleaning pool and the jets do not pop up anymore?
You probably have a water pressure problem check the pump and filters
How do you prevent an inground pool from being pushed up from water pressure under the pool if the deep end is below the water table of a nearby pond?
Keep it full of water. Otherwise, put gravel below and around the pool before it is built, then install a shaft and put in a sump pump. make sure the sump pump is on whenever the pool is to be empty.
What happens if you dont do a backwash in a pool?
The filter media will eventually become "clogged" and result in reduced flow rate and increased backpressure. the lower flow rate is a hazard to the heater system and the increased pressure will eventually shorten the life of your pump. not to mention the water will become cloudy and unsafe
When the pump is not running what is the water pressure at the output pipe of the pump?
When the pump is not running, the water pressure at the output pipe of the pump will be equal to the static pressure of the water source acting on the pipe. This static pressure varies depending on the elevation and depth of the water source.
What do the different settings on a pool pump do?
Generally a pool pump "if it has settings" are either fast or slow. if it is the seatings on the top of the sand filter that are referred to these indicate what will happen with the water when it is on that settings. egfilter Refers to the water going through the filerbackwash Refers to the dirt being removed from the filter to wasterinse Refers to rinsing cloudy water out of the filter to waste after backwashrecirculate Refers to recirculating the water without filtrationwaste refers to running the water to wasteclosed
