1.Prevent foam by showering before soaking in the hot tub. That will wash off all the soap residue, makeup, and other body chemicals.
2.Make sure bathing suits are cleaned and rinsed with fresh water before getting in the hot tub.
3.Don’t go underwater. Long-haired soakers should wear a baseball cap to keep their hair up.
4.Don’t buy cheap chemicals. Get the right chemicals from a trusted hot tub supply store.
5.Don’t drink in the hot tub to avoid the risk of spilling it in the water.
6.Drain and clean a hot tub regularly. Do this every 3 to 4 months.
How to Prevent Hot Tub Foam
25 JunCoast Spa Yellow Pump
11 JanCoast Spas 4.5 HP Yellow “wet end”. The pump’s internal parts as well as the housing and motor can go bad and require replacement. When determining the magic number of replacement parts cost versus cost of whole pump, we generally suggest 60-75% as the standard. If the cost to repair is within or over this range, it is smarter to replace the pump. As example, if the cost of the impeller, ceramic seal, faceplate oring, and wear ring exceed 60% of the cost of the entire “wet end”, it is advised to purchase the entire wet end.
