Jets Off-Perfectly Clear Water...Jets On-Soap Bath. What's Going on?!
🫧 Why Clear Water Turns Soapy
- Surfactants like lotions, detergents, or sweat bond with air when jets agitate them
- Even “clean” water can foam if organics are trapped in your plumbing lines or filter media
- Overuse of sanitizers or clarifiers can increase viscosity, making bubbles last longer
