As a hot tub gets more use and people are in and out regularly, dissolved solids that don't belong in the water begin to build up causing the hot tub to foam. Some of these dissolved solid include: body oils, shampoo, soaps, lotion, and detergents. When the level of these solids reach a certain point, they rise to the water surface, producing the foam we all hate.
At Suntek Pools and Spas, we'll give you detailed direction on HOW to get rid of Hot Tub Foam. For a quick fix, we offer Leisure Time Foam Down, a non-oily concentrated foam suppressant. This product differs from other foam suppressants because it was specially designed for use in hot water. It has an easy flip-top lid for accurate and direct application. It is important to note that consistent and excessive foaming indicates water problems. If your hot tub water is still filled with foam, stop by our Farmingdale location with samples of your water. Our water testing technicians will help you determine the correct plan of action.
How To Prevent Hot Tub Foam
- Rinse off before getting in the hot tub to wash off all soap, makeup and other body residue.
- Once in the water, avoid going under water. Long hair contains plenty of chemicals that will definitely affect the water.
- Make sure all bathing suits are clean and rinsed before entering the water.
- Don't spill drinks in the hot tub!
- Drain the hot tub regularly to ensure the freshest water.
