The pool man came this morning & turned our pool on & now their is foam. he said to wait to vacuum. how long?

We poured all the chemicals in a few days ago (4-5 days). When he turned our pool on , a white foam started to form on the surface, there is like green algy in it, or greenish stuff.. it has a nasty smell to it. The foam is disapearing alittle bit. The man said to wait awhile till I vacuum. How long should I wait? Should I wait till all the foam is gone- then vacuum? I'm not even sure if it will go away completely. Its an inground pool, which has an autopilot for salt water(not sure if that matters). Thank You in advance for your answer!

Yes, when the foam is gone, however if it takes longer than 5 hours to go away, vacuum it.

Inground Pool Locations

Before the bulldozer decides to dig, here are a few considerations you need to discuss with your pool builder:

Sun

Plot the course of the sun through the day, making allowances for seasonal change, and in combination with the times you are most likely to use the pool take the path of sun into account when you plan the position of the pool in your yard.

Shade

Large trees and shrubs are beautiful but can seriously cut down on the hours of sunny swimming you can enjoy!

Wind

The prevailing winds on your site should be a consideration to determine where the contractor positions the skimmers so that leaves and grass clippings won't be blown away from the skimmer ports.

Fencing

Check with your pool contractor to be sure what height and style fence your state or local code requires. Make sure all gates are sturdy and secure.

Cover

If you are in a seasonal pool location, you may want to cover your pool during the non-use period. The law may even require it. Check with your pool contractor for the various types of covers available. A great peace of mind item and it keeps the leaves out!

Heating

A heater not only provides comfort and therapeutic value but can also extend your swimming season. Heating oil, natural gas or propane all have pros and cons that can vary by region.

Chemicals

Your pool installer can show you all of the new chemicals and technologies to automatically treat your pool and make it a step closer to low maintenance.

Maintenance

There are many kinds of vacuum equipment, ranging from "you" (a hand-held vac system) to automatic "roamers" that patrol the bottom and keep your pool clean and ready to use. Ask your dealer for further information.
