What To Do About Foam

If the water is too soft, it makes the foaming problem worse, but I adjusted my calcium hardness and we still use anti-foam almost every time.

Other things that were suggested to me (all tried BTW) are -- clean the filter, shower before entering to remove cosmetics/lotions, don't wash swimsuits with soap/detergent, just rinse, use an ezymatic preparation to break down any soap scum.

Thanks for the responses - I as just hesitant to add the foam stuff since I thought adding more chems to the spa would caus eother issues. Have you had any consequences when adding the anti-foam. Does it mess with your water chemistry? I live out in AZ so my water is acutally very hard and ph usually moves up very fast. I will pick up that foam stuff and give it a try!

I think the antifoam is pretty neutral stuff. I don't notice any difference in how the chemistry behaves when I do or don't use it. FWIW. I'm not a chem expert, just a newbie-in-training.
