Tired of Foam and Bubbles

<< < (2/2)

Pwb:
Thanks for the info... will check into a line cleaner...

Sometimes, just don't know.... so... last night, first time since weekend, decided to "try" the hot tub.   Checked the chemicals... everything looks in check.  (Checked the temperature <smile>),  turned on pumps and blowers, hopped in.... low and behold NO foam... back to normal.    And all I really did was fix the low bromine issue with a new cartridge, shock it with MAINTAIN and run the crap out it.      So, I guess based on THAT, bromine levels DO affect foam?!?!?

So what is the general consensus of Bromine VS Chlorine debate about spas?

Sam:
if you have insufficient sanitizer levels you can definitely get funky foam.  Don't use the packets just use granular chlorine to supplement anytime you are low on sanitizer.

Using the "maintain" packet, every time I use it... will cost ALOT!!!!   Buying in bulk, its like $4-5 per packet.     Since using the packets though, the chemicals don't seem to fluctuate like they did.

Don't use a packet, get a bottle of granular chlorine to supplement "maintain" and throw in a small cap full after every use.

I personally prefer chlorine.
