Water can be come cloudy for several reasons, but mainly overfeeding and overcrowding. Give me more details about your set-up (what size container, how many and how big are the creatures-guppies, platy, snail, etc).

Yes. The system will continue to operate under fog or cloud cover. The system’s power output is relative to the “depth” of the cloud cover and how much light gets in. Typical coastal fog only reduces power output by 50%. Winter storm clouds will cause substantially greater reduction but the system will still produce energy. Our predicted performance levels are based on decades of available weather data collected in your area. See similar questions...

There can be nearly an infinite number of reasons for water problems. Assuming the water has been ok up till now, some of the more common possibilities are, residual soap in swimwear, makeup or other personal hygiene products. Consider what has happened, or who has used the spa most recently. If the foam goes away shortly after turning off the jets, the cause is probably a saturation of total dissolved solids.

It could be many things such as bacterial bloom if you have a new tank or the filter has been compromised, or a white precipitate in hard water where phosphate based pH adjuster has been used. Try asking one of the newsgroups, but remember to detail your specific circumstances so the cause can be pinned down for your situation. See similar questions...

You bet. The polycarbonate plastic won't absorb flavors, smells or colors (so you won't have to worry that today's milk will taste like yesterday's lemon-aid). But why stop there: you can also stuff it with first aid supplies, a dry t-shirt or socks, camera or cell phone. Remember: it's water-tight???. and it floats! See similar questions...

Air bubbles that have been formed during the manufacturing process can cause a cloudy appearance. These air bubbles are not harmful and will be easily eliminated with use as the water pushes the air out. See similar questions...

Cloudy water in a new tank is often a sign that you did not wash your gravel adequately. If you did, you may have a bacterial bloom. This bloom can be treated with products such as Acural F. For crystal clear water, an ultraviolet sterilizer is the best permanent cure. See similar questions...

Cloudy water can be caused by improper water balance, inadequate filtration or shocking, or excess calcium. If you experience cloudy water, check the balance, try an extra shock treatment of PristinePower, clean the spa filters and increase the filtration time of your spa. See similar questions...

Yes. Although the heat output of the solar collector is reduced on overcast days it will still be able to provide heating. If it is a heavily clouded day or raining, then more gas or electric boosting may be required to maintain water at the required temperature. This system will be automated so you don't have to worry about running out of hot water on a rainy day. See similar questions...

It's much more convenient than reaching down for a bike bottle or digging out from the bottom of your pack. This means you drink more water, more often, which is vital to performance and enjoyment. During a workout, your body absorbs water more efficiently when you sip in small amounts frequently vs. stopping and loading up with fluid. It's more efficient to carry water on your body. A bike, for example, is more responsive when it's kept light. See similar questions...

This is referred to as succussion. This striking of the bottle further dilutes the remedy thereby making it somewhat stronger (least is best). You do this fifty times when you first make the remedy. If using the remedy the next day, next month, etc., you then strike the bottle just twenty times in the morning and use it all day. When the fluid is down to 1/3rd in the bottle you fill the bottle again with distilled water and hit it fifty times. Back to Top | Back to FAQ See similar questions...

It's actually not that cloudy here - we just have lots of nice, white, puffy clouds on most days, but sometimes our camera capture image technology can make them seem more pronounced than they really are. Top See similar questions...

Cloudy water in a hot tub or spa is caused my a lot of things & is an almost always a good sign of other water issues. If the water is cloudy AND is "older" than 3 months, change the water, you'll save yourself adding unnecessary chemicals and time. Prevention is normally the solution! See similar questions...

Water in the distribution system is under pressure. Air sometimes dissolves in the water in the pressurized lines. At the faucet, the air gives water a "cloudy" or "milky" appearance. In fact many faucets have aeration features built in. The quality of the water is not affected by the entrained air. Let the water stand in an open container for a few minutes. The air in the water will disperse to the atmosphere. See similar questions...

This sometimes happens when either shutting valves or opening a fire hydrant interrupts the normal flow of water. If the water appears cloudy white, it is generally attributed to air in the lines. Most of the time running the cold-water spigots in your house for 10-15 minutes can clear the problem. The water does not need to be on full-stream -- just a small stream. See similar questions...

Many new aquarists are experts at overfeeding and this usually is the most common error in clouding up the water. A good general rule of thumb is to feed less food more often than more food less often. Feed enough that everyone in the tank has eaten, and that all of the food is gone in 5 to 10 min. Any uneaten food should probably be removed (depending on what your feeding. See similar questions...
