I opened my pool to a green swamp as usual last Sunday. I’ve completed my SLAM, but still have some foaming. It’s minimal on normal operation, but gets really agitated with the Polaris running.
I have only used HTH liquid chlorine (I did supplement with 4 trichlor pucks last week), HTH DE media, and Leslies soda ash. Filter has been backwashed 3 times and pressure is within range.
I have a minor suction side leak. Higher iron levels (noted by green coloring in water and brownish stains last year) I believe being caused by my old filter, which is stainless steel that has some oxidation on the lid.
My only other thought is that the company that closed the pool may have used an algaecide, but could it last throughout the winter? Have had lots of pollen and tree/flower debris to manage, can it be result of environment?
