It's a fast, targeted fix for a problem that tends to appear at the worst possible moment — usually about ten minutes before guests arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoam happens when something in the water reduces its surface tension enough that agitation produces bubbles that don't pop. Body oils, lotions, sunscreen, shampoo and soap residue, and detergent left in swimwear all do this. So do a few things pool owners don't connect to foam at all:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esoft water with low calcium hardness\u003c\/strong\u003e, an overdose of a quat-based algaecide, and filter cleaner that made its way back into the pool instead of going to waste. Add jets, a waterfall, or an aerated return, and the water starts producing a head of foam it can't clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti Foam breaks that surface film and the bubbles collapse. The effect is essentially immediate, and it can be reapplied as many times as needed on heavy buildup without adverse reactions.

It works with every sanitizer type and on every pool surface, and swimming can resume shortly after application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne further note worth understanding before you buy:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti Foam treats the symptom, not the cause.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThat's genuinely useful when you need clear water in the next five minutes.
