My pool water is brown what can i do to clear it up?

Question

we have a water filter its just the water we used didnt run through the filter, it just came straight from our well. its a light brown color and the pool we have has a little filter and i was wondering if that would take the brown out of the water. if not is there some type of chemical i could buy at wal mart or some place like that? thanks!

Answer 1

A pool supply store will sell a water clarifier that should make all that stuff settle to the bottom after a couple of days. Then you can suck it up with your regular pool vacuum. You'll probably want to clean your filter afterwards too, since it'll have all that gunk stuck on it.

Answer 2

pool shock

Answer 3

i have a pool but theres so many pool chemicals you can get and your best off going to either walmart (but i dont) or go to a place where they sell pools and pool chemicals.

there is chemicals that can get rid of it and keep it clean and maybe its time to get a new filter. My dad had to get a new filter for our pool to protect it from going bad and what not

Answer 4

refill, and get a new filter?

Answer 5

Chlorine would help disinfect it, maybe a bigger filter and also a pool vacuum for the bottom and sides.

Answer 6

go to walmart and get a bag of shock for the pool

Answer 7

well i dont think you filter is working. i dont know if you do but u should be puttin clorean in it. and you can buy this thing that has a screen on the end of it that you pull in the water to get dirt and leaves and stuff out. and i would suggest that you dump it out and fill it back up with house water.

Answer 8

With my dad's pool, he has to vacuum it now and then with a pool vacuum, and treats it with a decent dosage of chemicals he gets at a local pool supply store. Wal-Mart doesn't carry a lot of good chemicals, and the ones they do have don't work well from what I understand. I'd go to your local pool supply store and talk with someone there that knows more than I do. They'd be able to tell you what to do, and ours are actually quite helpful and know what they're talking about.

Answer 9

Buy some pool shock. Basically its really extensive chlorine and takes a few days to balance the Ph. Good luck

I am pretty sure you can buy it wal-mart or maybe lowes.
