Is a swimming pool clearer when used more?

Question

Does having the pool used by swimmers more often make the water in the swimming pool clearer?

Answer 1

NO,  if you want to have clear and clean water keep your chems at the proper level. and use a clairfier and run the filter for 4 to 8 hours a day

Answer 2

No, high bather loads introduce alot of foreign organic material into the pool lowering the chlorine level. Also, alot of splashing can raise the pH through aeration making chlorine less effective. Bather waste (sweat, urine) is converted to ammonia by chlorine which also makes chlorine less effective. All this can cause the water to become cloudy.

Answer 3

um, it really doesnt matter

Answer 4

That's, difficult to answer. By having movement in the water the chemical do move around more and the chances for algae to settle are less, however, keeping your pool within good chemical ranges is best for keeping it clear. These ranges can be found by visiting a local pool store, there they can also answer your questions a little more in depth as well.

Answer 5

i think so.

Answer 6

It all depends.... If you have a pool that doesnt have a main drain <a bottom drain in the deep end>, having some people in your pool daily will probably help as what we find in alot of pools is that when you just run y our pool after a while because there is no bottom drain, the water in the deep end does not necessarily get turned over, and it can become "cloudy".  By having some swimmers in your pool, to help move and agitate the water, it helps.  However, if you have 50 people in your pool every day, on the level of a public, or like having a party, you will find that your water will constantly become cloudy if not treated right with the right combination of things, such as running the pump for the proper amount of time, and keeping your chemicals in check, and making sure they are at the proper levels.

There is one solution to this if you have a pool that does get cloudy, or doesnt seem to be as clear as the shallow end.  Take your swimming pool vac head, connect it to your pole, and your hose, and insert it, as if you were going to Vac your pool.  Just leave it in the deep end, but make sure that you turn the vac head upside down, so that it is pulling the water from the deep end, but not the deep end against the liner.  You are basically trying to pull the water with the bottom of the vac head facing the top of the water.  Leave your pool like this for a day, you are still going to be circulating and filtering your water, only now you are taking potentially stagnant water from the deep end that is not being "turned over" or filtered, and forcing it to be filtered by pulling the water directly with the vac hose.

This is a good tip to remember in the spring, if you have a pool that wont clear up in the deep end after opening it from the winter.

This works on inground and above ground pools.

Sometimes just the way a pool is set up, for some reason the water will just not clear, and that is entirely due to the circulation and the water not being churned to mix it up and get it all filtered.  So you get around it by putting the vac head in there.  It works.  Ive done this many times on the hundreds of pools i have serviced over the years.
