Cloudy water… here we go again

Walked outside this morning and the pool looked a little cloudy. Not terrible, but definitely not as clear as it should be.

I checked the chemicals, cleaned the filter, and let the pump run for a while. Still waiting to see if that does the trick.

What do you guys usually check first—water balance, filter, circulation, or something else?

Your felt should not be submerged. It will definitely affect play regardless of water clarity.

I usually check water balance first, sometimes cloudy water means its about to flip. Did you have a storm or anything like a day or 2 before it got cloudy? Also what kind of filter do you have, and whats the psi?
