Well, it hasnt gone away yet.

I tried a anti-foam that got rid of it temporarily, but its come back again. *sigh*

I really need help. I went and bought a test kit with drops, but it doesnt do CYA and Hardness. (couldnt find one at the store that does, but Im ordering one soon.)

pH was fine, (7.6)
Chlorine has been all over the map (just added shock levels) and has not changed the foam problem.

But Alkalinity is really high at 190.

I'm blaming it on the algaecide that I spoke of above, since thats when the foam came. (Didnt know better then.)

This is my pool right now :





Can someone please give me some ideas on how to fix it? I'm desperate. Just missed a great swimming weekend *sigh*
