Possible Causes

High levels of body oils and soaps, Old or saturated filters, Imbalanced water chemistry, Insufficient sanitizer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

  • Test and balance water: Use test strips or a test kit to adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer to Michael Phelps Spas recommended levels.
  • Shock the spa: Add a non-chlorine shock or chlorine shock per label directions to oxidize organics.
  • Clean or replace filters: Deep-clean filters with a filter cleaner solution or replace if they are more than 1–2 years old.
  • Use foam reducer sparingly: An anti-foam product can provide temporary relief but does not replace proper water maintenance.
