Cloudy pool water — Barcelona, Catalonia
Cloudy or milky pool water usually signals a chemical imbalance, poor filtration, or the early stages of an algae bloom. Left untreated, it can irritate swimmers' eyes and skin and mask hazards on the pool floor. A pool and spa technician can test the water chemistry, clean or replace the filter media, and restore crystal-clear water.
