YIKES!!!!!! White water
« on: August 12, 2008, 08:21:35 PM »
We replaced our pond liner several days ago. We put dechlor in today and within a short time the water turned white. What in the world???? Have used this before since our water has chloramine in it and have never had a problem. What caused this and how do we fix it?

What's the pond liner made of?

Is the water clear, or is it chalky and opaque?

I don't really have a clue, but maybe with more info someone can think of something to help you.

It's actual pond liner purchased from AZPonds, Firestone brand.
The water is very opaque and totally white. Very weird. Thankfully we hadn't moved fish or plants back in yet.

My fishtank did that.  The guy at the pet store said it happens sometimes with new water.  Keep filtering it and add some of the bacteria you can buy at the pond store.  It will go away and it never harmed MY fish, but I don't want to be responsible for yours, so please wait for more opinions  :)

My pool does that when the chlorine is low or out. Also the PH is low at the same time. I have no idea how to fix it seeing most people don't put chemicals in the pond other than dechlor and an algae fix. PH up is just baking soda.
