    what i had what was bubbles coming out of the return and then they turned into foam on the surface when i used too much algaecide..first time i ever had that. probably put a gallon of algacide in vs a small bottle hoping it would clear things up quickly..

    when i've had bubbles coming out of the returns, it's been because i have air in my pipes or pump..usually the pump.

    Chell, you said you only put in algaecide? You have to put in bleach, algaecide will help to prevent algae, not get rid of it. You should post a full set of numbers so we can help you. Too much algaecide can cause foamy water, but there are other reasons for it too.
