Eliminate Pool Suds: A Guide to Saltwater Pool Foam Prevention

* Reduce the amount of organic matter in the pool. This can be done by regularly cleaning the pool and removing any debris that falls into the water. You can also use a pool cover to keep leaves and other debris out of the pool.

* Check the pH and alkalinity of the pool water. If the pH is too high or too low, it can cause the water to foam. The ideal pH range for a salt water pool is 7.2 to 7.8. The ideal alkalinity range is 80 to 120 ppm.

* Use a defoamer. Defoamers are chemicals that can be added to the pool water to help reduce foaming. Defoamers can be purchased at most pool supply stores.

* Reduce the amount of chlorine in the pool water. Chlorine can also cause the water to foam. If you have a salt water pool, you may be able to reduce the amount of chlorine in the water by using a salt water chlorinator. Salt water chlorinators generate chlorine from salt, which is a less harsh chemical than chlorine.
