Foam in the pond.

[tdcc]

Hello
The pond is 25000 litres with 3 filters.
One of the filters is high which allows water to run down a waterfall.
Where the water runs into the pond a white foam can be seen.
This has never happened before and I cannot find out what is causing it.
The weather here is very hot and has been for the last 6 weeks with no rain so I thought
that could be the problem but we have had similar weather in the past with no problem.
Hope some one can help.

Had another recent post regarding this, interestingly from Germany also. Hot spell could be concentrating proteinaceous compounds, leading to more foam perhaps. Are you adding any make up water for evaporation?

Foamy water

Noticing more and more foamy water coming out of the discharge pipe from filter to pond. The water that comes out looks quite sudsy and the foam remains on the surface, with some of it making it’s way to other parts of the pond. It’s not too terrible (yet) but I was wondering if anyone could...
