I admit it, I royally messed up! Cheaped out last season at closing time by purchasing some no-name brand algaecide (Pool Mate?) and metal control. Since opening, on May 1st, the pool has been a foaming mess (like the head of a beer). I've debated if I angered anyone to the point of them dumping gallons of dish detergent in the pool. I've been reading other posts on TFP with suggestions saying up to a week for the foam to go away. It's been a few days longer than that, and though the foam has subsided slightly, there is no sign of it disappearing. When the pump is off, there is no foam and the water is crystal clear. Been testing the chemistry (Leslie's testing and my own) and it's been fairly well balanced. I initially needed to increase CH, but that level has been ok for a week. Is there anything that can be done to counteract the foam? I attempted a test with a defoam chemical, only in the attached spa (where the foam is worst... more jets i guess?) and it had little to no impact. Tried Pool First Aid, no dice. I know i will never run into this issue again because now i know better, but any advice to resolve my dilemma would be appreciated. Thanks, Shaun
