Hello all, first time poster.
I've been really struggling this year with keeping my pool balanced. First off it's been really rainy so that hasn't helped. Also it hasn't been super warm so we just haven't been swimming that much.
I recently had my water tested and they told me my alkalinity was very high and that's why I have so much algae. The other problem I've been having is that recently when I run my filter (sand filter) I have a white foamy substance that appears on the surface. Any ideas on why that is?
I also can't seem to get the water to clear up. If I leave my pool alone for a few days (not run the filter) I can see the bottom but as soon as I run the filter it clouds up and I can't see anything.
I've attached some pictures to help you see what I see.
Any help is welcome!
Thanks
