Foaming
What is it?
Foam can be caused by applying a foaming algicide 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 or 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 non-foaming algicide such as Algae Complete or Banish®
- Shock routinely to oxide potential foam causing waste
- Add Pool Complete® Weekly to your maintenance routine to reduce contaminants and improve clarity
