White Sediment on the Bottom after Refilling the Swimming Pool with Well Water, What is this, and What Can We Do?
Question?
Q: Hey there answering expert. This should get you going. We just refilled our pool using well water. Now, for some reason, we cannot get it crystal clear. The water is cloudy with like white sediment on the bottom. Anytime we disturb this sediment, it clouds up terribly. What is this, and what can we do? In final, this is the specific topic.
Pushing on, many thanks. You get big style points.

A:
Hello visitor, thanks for the question. Good news, here we go. A complete chemical reading is necessary to understand what has happened. If the pH reading is very high, the white sediment very well could be scale (Calcium Carbonate). Well water has a very high content of Calcium. The solution is to add acid to the water. Professionals should do this treatment, since the pool can be damaged if the procedure is not performed properly.
Terrific, you should get through. Back to you.
Ok, everyone gets better with practice. Be good.
