Without seeing your water, I am going to guess that the liquid algaecide you are using is a quat (quatenary ammonium). It is an effective algaecide but it can cause the water to get a little "sudsy" or "foamy". You may have had just a bit too much in there. A way the old service company guys would check your algaecide level was to put their hand in the pool and shake it around. If it foamed some, then you had enough. Usually a good shock will clear that up.

Why does your swimming pool look like white suds with the ozone turned on?

It is easy for soap to get into a swimming pool, because the people who swim in that pool have washed themselves with soap and may not have rinsed all of it off. Soap in pool water then causes bubbles to turn into suds. Anti-sudsing agents are available, although at some point you may just prefer to drain and re-fill the pool.

How do you remove large amount of solid suds from a swimming pool?

One person suggested:-Try to put salt on the suds... If they are detergent suds try making up a mixture of lightly soapy water. (Soap not detergent)Put it in an atomiser and spray some on the suds, I think the suds will start to self destruct. Detergent and soap don't like each other. Use as little as possible to get the desired effect as I am sure pools don't particularly like soap either!
