Answers to Basic Pool Questions

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

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
