Deb called me this morning to let me know our 2-year-old was caught swishing a bubble wand in the sump :(

No actual liquid was dumped in...just whatever was dried on the wand. The skimmer was pulling out a little sudsy stuff and she cranked it up a bunch...now it's only taking out clear water. I'm out of town until Saturday night and we don't have any carbon or anything in the house. I'm thinking we probably don't have a huge problem here, but is there anything else she can do to make sure?

Thanks,

Chris

The skimmer should have taken out most of it. You should be OK. Good move on cranking up the skimmer. Soap can have a negative impact on gills, but you probably didn't have enough to cause a big problem.
