Is the foam from algaecide harmful?
Yes
Can you swim in a pool that has foam in it?
Suppose you could but who would want to. You possibly have added too much algaecide. Have a dirty filter. Have poor chemistry - out of balance chemically. Too many people in pool. Lack of proper filtration.
How long should it take for the foam to break down in a swimming pool?
Days to weeks depending upon how much algaecide you added without reading the instructions first.
What do you do if you just filled a above ground pool and it turns green right away so i shocked it twice then put algaecide and chlorine tabs and still is the chorine is off the charts?
The green is algae, add chlorine to make it go away.
E just bought a pool and we are putting chemicals Bacquicil and algaecide to get it primed. Why is there a white foam all over the top of the water?
Too much algicide. The only thing to do is dilute it with water.
What is an algaecide?
An algaecide (or algicide) is a substance which kills or inhibits the growth of algae.
Why does foam put out fires?
because it takes away all the oxygen
What do I do I put 10 times the dose Algaecide in my pool pool?
I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the algaecide and find out from them what would be the bes coarse of action.
Why does soda foam go faster when you put your finger in the foam?
When you put your finger in the foam of soda, you release tiny air bubbles trapped in the foam. This causes the bubbles to rise faster, resulting in the foam collapsing more quickly.
If you put algaecide directly into swimming pool without mixing in a bucket of water first will it eat the paint away?
You don't have to mix the algaecide in a bucket of water, you can put it directly in the pool. I use Polyquat 60 that comes in quart bottles and add about 4-6 ounces per week. Just walk along the edge of the pool and pour it at the edge while walking. No algaecide will "eat the paint". It's not acid. In fact, all the algaecide does is strip the cell walls of the algae and make it more susceptible to the chlorine. It's the chlorine that kills the algae. However, one algaecide with a side effect of staining is Copper. It's a very effective algaecide, and it's safe - but it will stain concrete pools if it's used in a high enough concentration. And Copper can stain blonde hair as well. That's why I don't recommend using it. The preferred algaecide is Polyquat 60.
What should you do if you accidentally put two and a half times more algaecide than the recommended dose in your pool and is it too toxic to go in it?
Vaccum the algaecide and its treated remainder to WASTE. Keep testing until it is ok. It should be fine. You may also call the company who makes the algaecide to get their suggestions. When I had a problem with my pool about three weeks ago, the pool company put a LOT of algaecide in the pool and then I vaccumed it to waste. Now I put just the minimum in each week to prevent algae from growing.
