Hello everybody! I'm new to the board with my first post, and would like to get your advice on my only current major issue. When using the waterfalls, deck jets, and especially the spa jets, the surface water gets extensively foamy. It's a clean, white foam most of which disperses in seconds, with the remainder clearing in minutes, accompanied by some effervescence.
My pool (indoor, in-ground 22k gal, pebble finish) was finished and filled at the end of this May, and this foaming issue has progressively increased in the past two months (not present at all the first two months). Trichlor tablets for the first month, then SWG since. Never have used any algaecides.
Today's chemistry:
FC 2
CC 0
pH 7.5
TA 90
CH 200
CYA 0 (I was told by my PB that indoor pools do not need CYA)
For the past month and a half, I have been using Pool Perfect with Phos-free in hopes of enzymatically degrading any proteinaceous substances that might be contributing to the foaming, and I shocked the pool last week with Clorox bleach. No change in the foaming (although the Pool Perfect and a couple of scumballs in the skimmers have really decreased the surface oil film). Very light bather load, averaging about 5 bather-hours per week.
Any suggestions?
