How can I prevent foam?
Orb-3 Antifoam does a great job of quickly knocking down foam, and as long as it is active in the water body, it will continue to work to stop foam.
However, if foam is a common problem, it pays to examine the root cause. Sometimes it is as simple as an air leak in the system; it can also be caused by certain types of chemicals (typically polymers) & algaecides, detergents, low levels of calcium, and most commonly organics in the water. An enzyme treatment can often be a big help in 'purging' the system - removing the gunk in the pipes that is causing water to be cloudy & foamy.
If foam is a constant aggravation, give Orb-3 Pool Enzymes a try in your pool, or Orb-3 Spa Enyzmes for your spa/hot tub. Apply during a maintenance window - if there is a lot of gunk in the pipes, it will purge it all! The good news? Once that gunk is gone, you will likely need to add fewer chemicals to keep your sanitizer at recommended levels, and the water will look, feel, and smell better than it ever has.
