Hi, my pool recently started getting these suds all over the

Change the water...

You can try schocking the pool, and/or hooking a protein skimmer up
But i would suggest
You need to drain the pool.

Bleech it.
Refill and shock.

Check the ph and stuff. Likely some chemical balance issue, or something growing in it
Or an issue in the liner itself.

I'll try it.

My PH seems fine (7.4). I'll see what my Alkalinity and Calcium hardness is like.

It looks like either a protien build up, or an algae.

But your water color makes me think protein.

>water color
Water has no color.

Do you have a convection pool heater system connected to your pool system?

Hey before you drain it id call a pool guy my grandma drained hers and it cracked the pool. Apparently some pools cant be drained because they "bubble up" for lack of a better term. But i dont really know about them besides that experience, good luck

That sounds like the shittiest pol ever conceived.

>>1105121
Would you prefer the term "aqueous solution" you sperglord?

>>1105234
That usually is something that happens if you have an inground pool and a high water table.

Well of course water has a colour!
Look at the blue tiles on the bottom of your pool. Drain the pool, and be amazed when the blue tiles has been changed to white?!?
Now it could be magic, or then water IS BLUE!

Scuba divers know this, deeper everything gets grayish blue. Because the blue water filters the reds away. Underwater photographers know it even better....

I'd say biofilm but I live close to the arctic circle so I know nothing of pools. But I am a biologist so I know of life :/

Get a load of this guy, he doesn't know what color is.

Anything that isn't 100% permeable to visible light (nothing is 100% permeable) has a color, regardless if you can see it clearly.

Definitely do not drain it yourself if its an inground pool, groundwater and soil pressure can and will split that thing in half without the water inside pushing back against it. Basically you hire pool people to put in and take out water for the insurance that this can happen regardless of precaution.

Check the water return for tiny bubbles, that means there is an air leak in the filter system.

Algicide treatments can cause foaming.

Make sure everyone rinses off before swimming, hair care products, sun lotions, and soapy residues can cause this.

Think if you cleaned anything around the pool like toys or furniture recently. Rains may have washed some detergents or soap residue into the pool.

Calcium maybe too low.

Don't drain it. Shock treatment will burn off the cause.

Freon leak right there pal

>>1105851
I own 7 fish tanks.

It's probably a protein residue caused by dissolved organic material in the water.

Which means op either needs to change the water or get a protein skimmer.
