    Polyquat does not foam but cheap quarternary algacides do! Polyquat and quaternary ammonium compounds are NOT the same thing!

    Well, what do you know! Learned something--I though Quat meant PolyQuat. Thanks!

    But my recommendation stands! Raise FC, and don't use any algaecide but PolyQuat.
