Quick answer: After a party, remove debris, clean the filter, measure pH and disinfection, and run the filtration longer. Add chemicals only according to the values.
A large gathering strains the pool with cosmetics, sweat, sunscreen, hair and debris from the garden. The next day, cloudiness, foam or weaker disinfection often appear.
First steps the morning after the party
Start with mechanical cleanup and filtration. Only then does it make sense to assess the chemistry.
- remove leaves and debris with a net
- clean the skimmer and pre-filter
- check the filtration pressure
- measure pH and free chlorine
- extend the filtration time
Typical problems
After a bigger gathering, several causes often come together at once. That is why a single universal product will not help on its own.
- cloudiness from fine particles
- an oily film from cosmetics
- lower disinfection
- foam under flow
- a clogged filter
When to use a flocculant
A flocculant makes sense for slight cloudiness and suitable filtration, but it does not fix incorrect pH or exhausted disinfection.
- adjust pH first
- let the water circulate
- vacuum sediment slowly from the bottom
