An air leak was my issue! I do believe a change in my algaecide and slo-tab chlorine initiated the foam residue I couldn't escape for over 2 weeks - but when I read the above about an air leak contributing to the problem...I immediately replaced a part of my filter system that had a crack in it. Almost immediately, the foam i had an issue with (and spent a lot of money with pro's) went away. THANK YOU! OMG - THANK YOU! An air leak was my issue!

When I decided to try and maintain my own pool, to say that I felt information overload is an understatement! It just seemed too complicated -- in terms of how all the pieces fit together. Oddly enough, as soon as started doing less -- and started doing those few things right -- my pool got better and I had a heck of lot less stress :) This article is great!
