    Foaming algaecide...help

    I made the mistake of putting in a cheaper algaecide...the kind that foams. How does one get rid of the foaming. The kids get in...splash around and the pool foams up. Any ideas how to get rid of the foam? Thanks.

    Aerating AGP...Bad idea?

    My kids love to have the return jet pointing slightly up so that it makes a sort of waterfall effect. Question...does this much aeration cause any problems with the pool? If so, how often should I allow the jet to be pointing towards the surface? Thanks for any thoughts.

So, I am guessing that my 2hp pump needs some back pressure on it or it...

After research I found that you need some back pressure on the return line. So, I put my hand down in front of the return...
