SPA-Article #2 Preventing Foaming/Cloudy Water in Your Hot Tub

Just how can you prevent foaming in your hot tub?

Spa & Hot Tub odors, excessive foaming  and/or cloudiness problems are caused by:

• Improper sanitizer use

• Improper water balance

• Lack of regular maintenance
• Insufficient drain & refill procedures
• Environmental reasons caused by uncontrolled biofilm build up



Normal foaming while using hot tub after

you turn off the jet pumps, the foam should

disappear within 30 to 60 seconds.

The water should

look crystal clear.



Don’t try fixing the problem with just anti-foam. Certainly don't try to cover up odors with fragrances. You will only make the situation worse. Deal with the root causes listed above.
