Why Does My Pool Water Look Cloudy?
From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/chemistry.html learn about cloudy pool water, what causes the water to turn cloudy, and how you should go about fixing cloudy swimming pool water. Most commonly a cloudy swimming pool is an indication of a problem with your chemical levels and cloudy water is what happens usually right before you notice the water has turned green.

4-good-facts-about-salt-water-pools
From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/salty.html - Learn four facts about salt water swimming pools that you may not know. Salt water leaves your skin feeling softer than traditional chlorine and many swimming pool owners like that about the salt water generating systems. Watch this video to learn more good facts about salt water pools.

how-to-save-money-when-building-a-pool
From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pool-savings.html – Learn where you can save some money when building your new pool. Building a new pool is an expensive endeavor without adding any peripheral items that may not be needed right when you build your swimming pool. If a desired item or system can be added later, consider waiting until your pool build has been finished to keep some money in your pocket now and purchase those peripheral items later. Items like water features can be planned for now but added in the future. Things like salt or UV systems can be added at any point in the future and are not necessary to be installed along with the pool build. Slides and diving boards are a safety concern and could be removed from the budget altogether. The shape you choose for your new pool can add to your cost as well. And if you want a safety cover for your new swimming pool, custom shapes will often cost much more than an off-the-shelf cover available for most rectangle and round pool sizes.

how-many-skimmers-does-a-pool-need
From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pool-installation.html - The standard amount of skimmers needed in a residential swimming pool is one skimmer for every 400 square feet of surface area. So a 20'x40' swimming pool, having about 800 square feet of surface area, should have two skimmers installed according to this current industry standard. This would be a minimum.
When considering flow efficiency and water filtration, it would actually serve the pool better to have more skimmers. Having one skimmer installed for every 200 square feet of surface area (plumbed with dedicated, isolated lines for individual control) will improve the filtration system capabilities as well as increase flow efficiency. A more flow capable system is going to be more efficient when running at low speeds as well as have the ability to operate and be efficient at high speeds.
Having the suction at the surface level of the pool, instead of submerged suction ports such as main drains, is a point of safety as well. Suction through the skimmers is less of an entrapment hazard than submerged suction ports.

how-long-should-i-run-my-pool-pump
http://www.SwimmingPoolSteve.com - You do not need to run your pool pump 24/7 in order to keep your water clean and clear. While it does not hurt the pump to run this much, the concern is the electrical costs associated with running the pump this much. A pool pump can account for up to half of the entire monthly electrical usage of your home so there is a definitive advantage to shutting it off at least part of the day.
In order to determine exactly how much you should run your pump you would need to calculate the amount of time it takes for your equipment to "turn over" the volume of the pool one time. Ideally a residential pool should turn over the water 2-3 times every 24 hours. Most pool systems can accomplish this in much less than 24 hours.
If you would like more information about pool turnover rates and how to calculate how much you should be running your pool pump you can read this detailed article from Steve: http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/filter-reviews.html
As you can see the electrical costs associated with running your pump are significant which is why the industry is moving towards variable speed pool pumps which can run on a much lower setting allowing you to run it 24/7 for a fraction of the cost of a single speed pool pump running this often. If you would like more information on variable speed pool pumps and how much money they can save you then read this article from Steve : http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pump-reviews.html

Turbidity is was cloudy water is called and usually is attributed to a water chemistry imbalance that should be corrected. Established turbidity standards for swimming pool water are to look at the floor in the deep end of the pool. You should be able to see the screws of the main drain cover and lid through the water. This is how clear the pool water should be.

does-pool-pipe-size-matter
From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pipe-size.html - Learn why the size of pipe used for your swimming pool plumbing system is important. Larger diameter pipes helps with water flow efficiency which helps with the cost of running your pool. Smaller diameter pipes, like the 1.5" and 2" PVC pipes found on most residential swimming pools, have the water travelling very quickly through the system causing friction and turbulence which make the system less efficient. Having the water forced through the pipes at those volumes to keep up with proper filtration requirements far exceeds the maximum efficient flow rate of the pipes which makes your pump and filtration system have to work harder. The bigger the pipe, the more water it moves at a slower and more efficient rate. You can also turn down the motor RPM to reduce the flow velocity if you have a variable speed pump. But why not both? Lower RPM and bigger pipes for maximum efficiency.
