Foam in the hot tub: causes and fixes

Foam comes from soap, lotions and detergent left in swimsuits, and from water that has been in the tub too long. Jets whip it up.

What to do

  1. Shower before soaking and rinse swimsuits in plain water, without detergent.
  2. Test calcium hardness. Soft water foams more: keep it between 100 and 250 ppm.
  3. Anti-foam sprays hide foam for a day; they don’t remove the cause.
  4. If foam keeps coming back, drain and refill. Many owners do it every 3–4 months.
