White "foam" when VSP is in low mode

[drsaxman]

I'm not sure what this white foam is. It seems to appear when the VSP is in low mode. No one has been in the pool since Monday. It seems like when the VSP is at a higher speed, I'm not seeing it. I did brush the sides today, so maybe someone got something on my brush?

How many rpms is low mode?
Are you getting air bubbles in the pump basket?
Have you added anything like Algaecide or clarifier?

What kind of bleach do you use ? How long have you had the SWG ?

Soapy foam is usually the polymers in the fancy bleaches. Or sometimes antifreeze foams in the spring at opening but it's a little late for that.

I use 10% bleach that I buy at Lowes, it says it's for pools. Just replaced the SWG a little over a year ago

In low mode, it's running at 1525 rpms. I haven't noticed any air bubbles in the pump basket, but I'll double check this afternoon when it kicks into low mode. I have not added Algaecide for a month now.

What is your FC and CH? Can you post a full set of test results? If your CH is low can cause foaming, and raising CH to 120-150 typically eliminates foaming. Don't add anything until you post your full test results.
