If you are refering to a white cloudiness, There are two reasons for this one is not enough sanitizer or chlorine it should be between 2.0-5.0. The other is poor circulation either your filter is dirty or worn out and not filtering enough. A commercial pool or multi family pool needs to circulate 24-7. A residential pool should circulate at least 8 hours a day in order to keep water healthy.The powder is formed from Alkalinity being to high. Alkalinity should be between 80-120 ppm and PH maintained around 7.2-7.6 ppm. Take a sample to your local pool dealer and they will tell you how to fix it.It is important to know how many gallons is in your pool Lengthxwidthxavg.depthx8 Kenny Kummer E.M. Systems

∙ 15y agoAny particles in your pool can cause cloudiness - for example, dead algae. To eliminate it, most pool stores sell a "clarifier" - the one I sell is blue - which will get the particles out of your pool, or "alum" or "floc", which will bind the particles together, making them heavier, dropping them down to the bottom of your pool. You can then vacuum them out with your filter set to waste.
If you have a DE filter, and you add a white powder to your skimmer sometimes, it is possible that your filter is leaking DE back into your pool and you need to replace the grids inside it.
