\nCloudy pool water can be indicative of poor maintenance and environmental pollution. Failing to properly cover your pool can allow rainwater carrying contaminants from areas around the pool to seep into the water, causing your pool\u2019s water to become murky. Cloudy pool water can also signify a high concentration of chemicals. Chlorine, water sanitizers, and a high pH level can all cause pool water to become cloudy. Call Fratelli Pool Service<\/a> immediately if your pool water is cloudy, and definitely don\u2019t take the risk of jumping in.<\/p>\n
\nThis point should be fairly obvious, but it\u2019s a point that is worth reiterating: don\u2019t go in your pool if you notice that algae is growing in it. Most people don\u2019t know that algae grows in varieties that can be toxic and, in some cases, fatal. Some varieties of algae produce what\u2019s known as cyanobacteria; in plain English, this is the green, slimy layer of algae that you\u2019ll commonly see on the surfaces of lakes. It has a foul and off-putting smell to it, and it can be toxic to both humans and animals. It\u2019s worth noting that not all algae varieties are visible, so you should always be on the lookout for any unfamiliar smells emitted by your pool.<\/p>\n
\nAre your eyes itchy and red after a session in the pool? Red eyes after swimming can be a sign that your pool water is in desperate need of a thorough cleaning. Dirt, sweat, oil, and other human-originating contaminants can cause your water to become irritating to the eyes, even if you\u2019re fairly meticulous about regulating the chemicals in your pool.<\/p>\n
