Why does the water in my Bestway pool become cloudy quickly, even when I use chemicals?

Why Bestway pool water becomes cloudy quickly, even with chemicals — clear and practical tips:

Main causes of cloudy water:
• Weak pump/filter — many Bestway pumps can’t clean the full volume.
• Cartridge clogs in 2–3 days.
• Low chlorine level, even if added regularly.
• Warm water speeds algae growth.
• Not enough filtration time (needs 6–10 hours/day).
• Dirt from outside: grass, dust, sunscreen.
• Incorrect pH (outside 7.0–7.6, chlorine stops working).

How to keep the water clear:

Improve filtration: rinse cartridge daily, replace every 3–5 days in heat, upgrade to a sand filter if possible.

Balance chemicals: use chlorine tablets or shock treatment; check pH; add algaecide.

Ensure circulation: run pump 3–5 hours morning and evening; check intake/outlet.

Remove debris: skim leaves; vacuum the bottom weekly.

Cover the pool at night to reduce dirt and bacteria.

If your Bestway set still can’t keep the water clear, file a complaint on Xolvie — you may have received an underpowered or defective filter.
