Your cloudy pool may not be clearing up due to a few reasons: improper chemical balance (too high or too low pH, chlorine, or alkalinity), faulty filtration system, or environmental factors such as high pollen counts or recent heavy rains. To resolve it, test the water to ensure your chemicals are balanced, clean or replace your filter if necessary, and shock the pool if needed. Regular maintenance and monitoring of water chemistry are key to preventing future cloudiness.
