I agree

So I added chlorine. I cannot keep the FCL ppm up?  Since I'm using a silver ion cartridge and ozonator is that typical? Ive had the tub 5 days and have been adding about 1 TBP of MPS after each use. Using it a couple times a day, sometimes with 4 or 5 adults. Its small only about 385 gallons. Getting lots of foaming and milky water when jets are on. Too much MPS? Too little? MPS? Add more Chlorine? Im honestly ready to drain and refill but thinking I might be doing too much. Any input thanks

Dr. Spa™ Ret.:
You add chlorine. A little? A lot? A teaspoon? A dump truck load?...and the Cl level drops quickly? Drops over a day? Over an hour? Over a year?

A lot of the foaming is probably from residual detergents in the swim suits plus personal hygiene products (make-up, hair care stuff, conditioner).

I put in a small amount? 2 tablespoons sodium dichloro initially. Then 1 tablespoon MPS 2/3 times a day after using it. I did throw in a tablespoon of dichloro here and there trying to get FCL up. From what I understand you "shock" with 2 TBL dichloro weekly and maintain with MPS because of the use of silver ion and ozone? Just got out, foaming still but FCL was still in 3-5ppm range after using. Im worried Im adding too much. Will antifoaming chemical help, ive read its just a temporary fix. Thanks in advance

The water appears to have small bubbles, so much so its cloudy and you cannot see the lights when the jets are on. I dont remember this happening initially. When I turn the jets off the foam and bubble dissipate withing a couple minutes.
