Why is the water from my Aqua Guard Water Filtration Systems dirty?
- PPeter SuttonAug 9, 2025
Dirty water in your Aqua Guard Water Filtration System can stem from several issues. It could be insufficient filtration time, a heavy load of contaminants, or a dirty filter needing backwashing. Other potential causes include air leaks on suction, blocked pump impeller vanes, insufficient water supply, an unprimed pump, incorrect water chemistry, or excessive water flow for the filter size. Foreign matter or debris forced through the filter bed and under drain, other restrictions including pool suction cleaners, or clogged filter media may also be responsible. Operating the filter on recirculate will help determine if the restriction is in the filter. Backwashing or regeneration may be needed; refer to the maintenance section.
