Thanks...That's what my local dealer suggested was to just purge, then drain...then fill high and drain again and finally fill once more and then start the chemical process.

It's interesting.  I hate foam.  My kids think I am crazy because I am very nuts about cleaning their swim suits a certain way.  Something I started doing about 2 years ago is pouring a flush/purge product in every time I drain my spa, not much... just a little.  It seems to have solved that problem... and I don't use any enzyme or silk balance type product.

Hope that helps!

Update: I just did another purge and drained it twice to get rid of whatever crap was left...Balanced water last night and will add sodium bromide and shock today.  Wish me luck!
