Possible Causes
High dissolved solids from body oils and cosmetics, Overuse of foam-producing products, Dirty filter, Inadequate filtration time
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Avoid using the spa until water clarity is restored.
Cloudy or foamy water is typically a maintenance issue.
- Increase filtration: Extend filter cycle durations in the American Whirlpool control settings.
- Clean or replace filter: Thoroughly clean the filter cartridge or install a new one.
- Use defoamer sparingly: Apply a spa-approved defoamer to temporarily reduce foam, but address underlying causes.
- Drain and refill if needed: If water is old or TDS is high, drain the spa, clean the shell, and refill with fresh water, then balance chemicals.
