Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my hot tub have bubbles when the jets are on? There are several things that can lead to bubbles forming in the hot tub with 2 being the most common. First, check your pH with a test kit or test strips, a pH above 7.6 can cause foaming. Secondly, soaps and detergents from bather swim suits or shirts can rinse off into the water and cause the foaming. These residuals will filter out over time, but to prevent from introducing more, run an extra rinse cycle on your swim suits and shirts that you use when in the hot tub.
