Foaming
What is it?
Foam can be caused by applying a foaming algaecide in pools with jetted returns, attached spas or water features. Foaming can also be caused by a foreign contaminant such as soap or oil entering the pool or the build-up of organic contaminants in the pool water. Foam should dissipate over time, but the use of anti-foaming agents will help clear the foam much more rapidly.
To eliminate foaming
- Apply Anti Foam to get rid of foam quickly
- Add Pool Complete® 911 to remove contaminants that may be causing the foam
To prevent foaming
- Switch to a non-foaming algicide such as Banish®
- Shock/oxidize routinely
- Add Pool Complete® Weekly to your maintenance routine to reduce contaminant levels
