What Causes Hot Tub Foam?
Foam in hot tubs appears when contaminants mix with imbalanced water chemistry. The most common culprits are:
Body oils, lotions, shampoo, sunscreen
pH or alkalinity out of range
Old water that hasn't been changed in weeks
Dirty or clogged filters
Dust and debris floating in from outside
And here are the ways to solve it:
Check and balance your water chemistry: Use test strips to keep pH and alkalinity in range.
Add a defoamer: A quick, temporary fix — pour directly on the foam for instant results.
Drain and refill: When foam keeps coming back, fresh water works wonders.
Shock the water: Sanitizer or oxidizer treatments help break down organic residue.
Clean your filters and surfaces: Oils love to stick there — rinse them off regularly.
