Cloudy Water

Cloudy Water Causes	Solution	Preventive Measures
High pH	Bring your pH into the desired range of 7.4 - 7.6 ppm.	Maintain a proper pH level by using Haviland pH Reducer.
Dirty Filter	Check filtration system. Backwash if necessary.	Use Haviland Liquid Filter Cleaner each spring and fall.
Low Free Chlorine Residual	Bring free chlorine into desired range of 1 - 3 ppm. Shock if necessary.	Maintain a proper level using one of the Haviland chlorinating products.
High Total Alkalinity	Test total alkalinity and adjust accordingly	Lower total alkalinity to their ideal levels using Haviland pH Reducer.

Green Water

Green Water Causes	Solution	Preventive Measures
Green Algae (hazy water)	Shock the pool using chlorine based shock at 1 lb. per 10,000 gallons. Let circulate overnight and then adjust free chlorine residual to 1 - 3 ppm.	Add Haviland Algae Kil 50 or Haviland Combat 60 every other week at a rate of 6 oz. per 10,000 gallons
Copper in Fill water (clear water)	Use Haviland Rust-N-Scale at a rate of 6 oz. per 10,000 gallons. Let circulate overnight before adjusting chlorine or pH.	Add Haviland Rust-N-Scale every other week at a rate of 6 oz. per 10,000 gallons to prevent stains due to copper in the water.

Reddish Brown Water

Red/Brown Water Causes	Solution	Preventive Measures
Dissolved Iron or maganese in water	Adjust pH to 7.4 - 7.6 range. Use Haviland Rust-NScale. Let pump run continuously until clear.	Add Haviland Rust-N-Scale every other week at a rate of 6 oz. per 10,000 gallons.

Let circulate overnight and then adjust free chlorine residual to 1 - 3 ppm.	Test pH level daily and maintain pH in 7.4 - 7.6 range.

Calcium Scale Formation

Calcium Scale Causes	Solution	Preventive Measures
pH too high/Total Alkalinity too high	Add Haviland pH Reducer to bring pH into 7.4 - 7.6 ppm range and to bring total alkalinity down to 100 - 175 ppm.	Maintain pH level in 7.4 - 7.6 range. Maintain total alkalinity level in 100 - 175 ppm
Calcium Hardness level too high	If hardness level is too high, some water may have to be drained. Add Haviland Rust-N-Scale per label directions.	Add Haviland Rust-N-Scale every other week at a rate of 6 oz. per 10,000 gallons.

Corrosion of Metal Parts

Corrosion Causes	Solution	Preventive Measures
pH too low/Total Alkalinity too low	Add Haviland pH Increaser to bring pH into 7.4 - 7.6 ppm range.	Maintain pH level in 7.4 - 7.6 range. Maintain total alkalinity level in 100 - 175 ppm.
Calcium Hardness level too low	Add Haviland Water Hardness Increaser to raise the calcium to 180 -275 ppm.	Maintain calcium level at 180 -275 ppm.
