Foamy water and poor jet performance despite normal equipment operation

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.
