Why is there white cloudy something coming out the return jets in your swimming pool?

When you first turn on your pool pump after it's been off for a while, you may see some white cloudy something coming out of the return jets. This is usually just air that's been trapped in the lines. It should go away after a few minutes of running the pump.

Low chlorine levels

If your chlorine levels are too low, it can cause the water in your pool to become cloudy and the white cloudy something may come out of the return jets. This is because chlorine helps to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that can live in pool water. When chlorine levels are too low, these microorganisms can grow and cause the water to become cloudy.

High calcium hardness

High calcium hardness can also cause cloudy water and the white cloudy something. This is because calcium can combine with other minerals in the water to form scale. Scale can build up on the walls of your pool and the equipment, and it can also clog the filters.

Improper filter operation

If your pool filter is not working properly, it can also cause the water to become cloudy. This is because the filter is responsible for removing dirt and debris from the water. When the filter is not working properly, dirt and debris can build up in the pool and cause it to become cloudy.

Algae growth

Algae growth is another common cause of cloudy pool water. Algae are microscopic plants that can live in pool water. When algae levels are too high, it can cause the water to become cloudy and green.

If you're not sure what's causing the white cloudy something coming out of the return jets in your pool, you should test the water and make sure that the chlorine levels are correct. You should also check the calcium hardness and the filter to make sure that they are working properly.
