Foam on Pool! Anyone Know Whats the Deal?
I o pened the pool Memorial Day and added about 18 oz of algecide per the bottles instruction for it's size at pool opening. Also added about 6 oz of clarifier. The pool is a salt water with a Zodiac clorinator and I use an D.E filter. The issue I have is when I run the filter the top of the water foams/suds up. I can actually see what looks like foam bubbles coming out the returns entering the pool. I tried to pull the foam to the skimmers with a brush and noticed the foam is filthy. I mean it is bad as it's disturbed, you can see the dirt laying in it. After the filter is off a bit, the water clears up and is as clear as can be. My chemicals are right on. Any suggestions????

I am having the same problem. It has never happened before. I hope someone out there has an answer for us. Thank you

The algicide is making the water foam. Stop adding it and the foam will go away within a few days.
