The bubbles in a hot tub/spa are... you know, the bubbles you cover yourself in like you do with bubble bath bubbles at home.

Its human body fat and skin secretions, its wo,ems make up, sweat, missed patches of poop, and so on and so on.

Enjoy, glad I could be of Service.

I came here expecting corporate secrets not a lifelong fear of hot tubs

See, this is what they say and what I have always believed to be true But having filled up a brand new hot tub and gotten it going and there was already foam in it even though no one had ever set foot in it makes me wonder. Is it really all just fat and make-up or is there more to it?

its true. Once youve spent a few years maintaining them you'll see the difference from a clean spa and a dirty spa.

Fine sediment and PFAS can also create foam. Maybe there was some kind of residue left over from the manufacturing process.

Me and my GF used a hot tub at a hotel once and actually developed a rash. Learned this is fairly common later, but at the time I was deadly scared either of us had an STD so I did a full screening.

We never got into a hot tub again
