20x40 inground pool about 28k gallons. Starting up my pool after winter it was very green and lots of debris on the bottom. I cleaned up all the big leafs with a net and then shocked the heck out of it over a couple days using power powder plus. This turned the water milky white no more green. I ran the filter and it wasn’t really clearing up the white cloudiness so I used 16lbs of Alum and ran the pump for 2 hours thinking it will sink all the dead algae to the bottom so I can vacuum to waste. However after adding the Alum the surface has a layer of foam on it. Will this clear up as things start sinking? Should I try to scoop it out with a net or leave it for 12 hours? It is clearing the water as I can see the bottom of the pool between the foam which I could not see previously.
This is my first time using Alum so I’m not sure what to expect.
