Excessive Foaming in Hot Tub or Spa

November 29, 2011

Some of the possible causes of hot tubs having excessive foam are:

  • Buildup of body oils, cosmetics and detergents from bathers.
  • Calcium hardness too low
  • Large amount of total dissolved solids

Possible Solutions:

  • Add SPA FOAM DOWN. Shock with RENEW or OZ TABS.
  • Add CALCIUM BOOSTER to obtain 150-400 ppm calcium level in the water.
  • Drain and refill water.

Preventative Maintenance:

  • Use RENEW or OZ TABS weekly to oxidize unwanted organic material.
  • When adding make-up water or freshly filling the spa, have the calcium level tested.
  • Drain and refill water at least once every 90 days.
