Foam formation in the yacht's pool
Foam formation in the yacht pool is a common issue that can be due to various causes, including the accumulation of organic substances such as sunscreen oils, soap, sweat, or hair products. These contaminants can easily concentrate in confined spaces like a yacht pool, leading to the unpleasant presence of foam.
How to prevent foam formation in a yacht pool?
Below, we outline the most common issues that can cause foam and provide the necessary steps to effectively resolve the problem, restoring the water quality of your yacht pool.
Check chemical levels
Test the water's pH and alkalinity levels: an imbalanced pH can contribute to foam formation. The ideal pH should be between 7.2 and 7.6.
Use an anti-foam product
Apply a pool-specific anti-foam product. This will quickly neutralize the foam, but keep in mind that it is a temporary solution and does not address the underlying cause.
Ensure proper filtration
Check that the filtration system is functioning correctly. If the filter is dirty or clogged, filtration will not be effective. Clean or replace the filter cartridge and ensure the pump is working properly.
Perform shock chlorination
Carry out a shock chlorination treatment to oxidize and remove organic substances that may be causing the foam.
Reduce the use of unsuitable products
Avoid using body products or creams not specifically formulated for pool use, as they can contribute to foam formation. Whenever possible, take a shower before getting into the pool.
Partial water replacement
If the issue persists, it may be necessary to partially drain the pool and refill it with fresh water to reduce the buildup of organic residues.
By following these steps, you should be able to eliminate foam and reduce its recurrence. However, if there are no improvements or if foam persists, we recommend contacting our support center.
