Foam Gone
(Foam Prevention and Assistance)
As mentioned on previous pages, foamy spa water can be caused by soft water. However, the most common causes of foamy water are
the users themselves and the things they bring into the spa. (i.e. clothes, shampoo, and oils.)
Products such as Foam Gone, only mask the problem of foamy water. There is no single chemical that will remove foam from your spa
water. The only thing that removes contaminant's that cause foamy water is plenty of filtration, future prevention, and patience.
Foamy Water Prevention:
1. Never wash the clothes that you wear into the spa in laundry detergent or fabric softener. Laundry detergent and fabric softener stays
in your clothes no matter how well you rinse them. This causes cloudy and foamy water that is almost impossible to clean up. The
only thing you can do is wait for it to eventually filter out.
Note: Adding water clarifier in this case will only further delay the spas ability to clear-up.
2. Never enter the spa with sunscreen or lotion on your skin. Oil is very difficult to remove from the spa water, and can cause a reaction
with some of the chemicals that you may add to your spa. In addition, soap and shampoo residues that are normally left on your
body after a shower, only increase foamy and cloudy water. It is best to rinse off prior to entering the spa in these cases.
Use of Foam Gone:
Foam Gone should be used sparingly. This product does not remove foam from your water, it only offers a temporary solution.
The recommended amount requires one gentle squeeze of the Foam Gone bottle to each of the heavy foaming areas.
Be sure to avoid applying Foam Gone near the immediate filter area of your spa; it is only effective in the main area. Once filtered out,
the water will start to foam in a short amount of time, causing you to use more Foam Gone.
Tip: Add 3 oz. of Foam Gone and 29 oz. of water into a 32 oz. spray bottle and spray where needed.
Vinyl & Leather Cleaner
Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying Vinyl & Leather Cleaner as a
part of monthly maintenance. Cal Spas' Vinyl & Leather Cleaner is specifically designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical
and ultraviolet damage. It accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive
vinyl protectants.
Use of Vinyl & Leather Cleaner:
Cal Spas' Vinyl & Leather Cleaner should be used sparingly. Incorrect product usage may cause water clarity issues.
Spa Covers:
1. Remove spa cover from spa.
2. Allow spa cover to dry completely.
3. Spray Vinyl & Leather Cleaner to cover evenly and wipe dry.
4. Allow spa cover to dry completely.
5. Reinstall cover on spa.
Pillows:
1. Wipe pillows dry with a soft cloth.
2. Carefully spray Vinyl & Leather Cleaner directly onto pillow.
3. Wipe pillows dry.
4. Allow pillows to dry completely.
Important: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on spa covers or pillows. These products are generally oil based and will cause
severe water clarity issues that are difficult to correct.
