random_nzer Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Hi all, I see a lot of posts on the forum about ways to reduce foaming due to lotions coming off skin, detergent coming off bathing suits etc. but was wondering what could be used (and if safe to use) a product that will create copious amounts of foam? I have a 2001 Sovereign Hot Spring spa pool. Just seems like it would be fun on some occasions to add a safe product to the water to make lots of foam. Quote
Roger Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Dish soap works fabulous. But I suppose you want it to go away after your done huh? A drain, clean and refill will be required. We have done this for a couple parties when we knew a drain, clean and refill would be required. Quote
random_nzer Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Posted August 13, 2013 Ideally, yes I'd definitely hope for it to disappear after a period of time rather than needing to drain and refill, clean filters etc. But dish soap is something I'll keep in mind. Any other ideas? Quote
Roger Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Mr. Bubble bubble bath. Still requires a drain and refill. Quote
Hot Spring Official Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 Hey everybody, This is a fun post! We at Hot Spring love a good bubble bath just like the rest of you However, use caution when doing so in hot tubs! It can be very difficult to completely remove the residue of a bubble additives sometimes even after a drain/refill. Unlike a basic bath tub, the chemicals would be circulated through plumbing and electrical components, and it could potentially shorten their lifespan. Any damage this would cause falls outside our warranty coverage as well! Not to mention the energy savings of not having to refill, reheat, and reset your water's chemistry afterward! Have fun, kids! Thanks, Steve ---Hot Spring Spas--- Quote
random_nzer Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Posted August 15, 2013 Hi Steve, that's unfortunate to hear :-( It's a shame there's no product that's safe to use, even if it only produces a small amount of bubbles or foam. Anyhow, it sounds like there's no way to get around the issue of damage to components. Quote
Roger Posted August 15, 2013 Report Posted August 15, 2013 I think that's a little extreme there Steve. If it's only a rare occurrence he should be fine as long as the drain and clean are sufficient. Quote
