Possible Causes

High dissolved solids, Soap or oils from bathers, Worn-out filter, Low sanitizer or high pH

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use chemicals according to QCA Spas recommendations.

  • Balance water: Test and adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer to recommended ranges.
  • Shock treatment: Add a shock dose to break down organics causing foam and cloudiness.
  • Use foam reducer (temporary): Add a small amount of spa defoamer to reduce foam while addressing the root cause.
  • Clean or replace filter: Dirty filters contribute to cloudy water; clean or replace the QCA Spas filter cartridge.
  • Consider drain and refill: If TDS (total dissolved solids) is high or water is old, drain and refill the spa.
