What Causes Foamy Hot Tub Water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have all seen the sign \u2014 the one at the public pool or gym asking you to shower before you hop into the water. As it turns out, the directive is not just about good hygiene. Hair and body products, as well as detergents, can interact with the water of the hot tub or pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s why it\u2019s important to rinse off before getting into any hot tub, even the one in your own backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick rinse will help remove any excess body lotions, deodorant, hair conditioner \u2014 all of which can build up in the water of your hot tub and cause it to foam. It will also rinse any detergent out of your swimsuit as it can also cause foam in your hot tub water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another culprit behind foamy hot tub water is calcium hardness. Low calcium levels can make it easier for foam to form on the surface of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
