Spa foam is primarily caused by contaminants like lotions, soaps, and oils. Fast-acting, compatible solution that clears surface foam instantly. Use 1/2 tsp per treatment while jets are running, or clean/replace filters and check water chemistry (pH/calcium) to prevent recurrence.
Key Solutions for Foamy Spas:
Immediate Fix:Add 1-3 oz of defoamer.
Preventive Maintenance:Use a spa foam remover weekly.
Filter Care:Clean or replace filters to remove trapped, contaminating particles.
Water Balance:Ensure sanitizer (chlorine/bromine) and pH levels are in the proper range.
Contaminant Removal:Shower before using the spa to remove lotions and body oils.
Drain and Clean:If foaming persists, drain the water, clean the shell, and refill.
Alternative Fixes:
Vinegar/Baking Soda:Use a 90:10 ratio of vinegar and baking soda (approx. 20 liters for a 2000-liter spa) as a natural remedy.
