foam on the pool surface

[bfang711]

I opened the pool yesterday morning and have been doing SLAM for almost 1 1/2 days. However there are a lot of disgusting foam on the pool surface. btw, the water color is still a little bit light green. Can you please let me know why there are foam and how to get rid of them? (seems like the skimmer cannot suck the foam into the filter, because it is on the surface of the water and usually if too many in the skimmer, the skimmer will be blocked.)

thank you.

What bleach have you been using?

Does it have any additives?

Is it looking like the pictures in this thread: A little encouragement for those with algae and new to BBB ??

If so, normal. Be patient.

Thank you guys for your quick response.

Within this 1 1/2 days I used 6 bags of 1lb pool shock ( I know my CYA is low, so I want to add some in the meantime.) and 10g of liquid chlorine.

Yes. It is pretty much like the link picture shows. I actually did vacuum bottom as well to get rid of a lot residues (looks like dead algae).

so I think as Richard320 said, I need to be patient.

thank you very much.
