It's best just to post one thread to get consistent responses. You can delete your posts from here.....You'll get good response in your first thread.

This thread was started about a different problem than the other, and now I have realized the problem is the same.

Re: Doh! Foam Party In My Pool!
I had a PB open my pool (before I found this site), he used a bunch of algaecide. My pool was foamy for about two weeks, it did go away all on it's own, now my pool is sparkling with the BBB method.
I don't see any reason you can not swim IF the algaecide caused the foam, as long as your other numbers are withing normal operating range. Someone with more knowledge than me can tell you that for sure though. If the foam is caused by something else I personally wouldn't swim until I got what ever the problem was under control.
Patience, it will clear.
Oh yeah, stop adding things you don't need, like an anti-foaming agent, or more algaecide.

Well...now Im not sure at all. I converted to the BBB method, and obtained a good test kit. All of my chem levels are "good" but the foam still looks like it did in th pictures. It's been more than a week, and the pool is safe for swimming of course, but nobody wants to swim in it as it looks very .... well gross.
It sucks too cuz we are having the hottest days of the summer right now this week...
I'll wait another week since the kind gentleman just said it took him 2 weeks for it to go away. We'll see
Just needing to vent I guess, since it was 102 yesterday and almost as hot today and have a very unappealing pool hehe.
