FAQs
How often should I use Pro-Kleen Anti Foam?
The frequency of use depends on your hot tub usage and the types of contaminants entering the water. Apply as needed when foam appears, or proactively if you know you'll have guests. A single bottle provides a long-lasting effect, reducing the need for frequent additions.
Can I use this product if I use bromine in my hot tub?
Yes, Pro-Kleen Anti Foam is compatible with bromine sanitizing systems, as well as chlorine and other common spa sanitizers.
What causes foam in a hot tub?
Foam is typically caused by surfactants. These are chemicals found in products like shampoos, body washes, lotions, makeup, and also from body oils and sweat, which reduce the surface tension of the water, leading to bubbles.
How much product should I use?
The standard dosage is two capfuls per application. Adjust based on the size of your hot tub and the severity of the foaming issue.
Will this anti-foam affect my water's pH or sanitizer levels?
Pro-Kleen Anti Foam is formulated to neutralize surfactants without significantly impacting your water's pH or sanitizer levels. However, it's always good practice to test your water chemistry after adding any new product.
Is it safe to use this product in my spa?
Yes, when used as directed, Pro-Kleen Anti Foam is safe for use in hot tubs and spas and does not pose a risk to bathers.
How long does one bottle of 5L last?
A single 5L bottle can last a long time, as only a small amount is needed per application and it has a long-lasting effect, depending on the frequency of use and hot tub conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foam returns quickly after application.
Ensure you have used the correct dosage. If excessive surfactants are present, a second application may be needed. Check if new bathers are introducing more contaminants or if your hot tub usage has increased significantly. Review your pre-soak showering habits.
Product appears cloudy or has changed color.
This is usually normal and does not affect performance. However, if the product has been stored improperly or is beyond its expiry date, its efficacy may be reduced. Contact the manufacturer if you have concerns.
Water lines are still forming despite using the anti-foam.
Anti-foam primarily addresses foam, which contributes to water lines. However, other factors like hard water deposits or oily residues not fully neutralized by the anti-foam can also cause lines. Ensure your overall water chemistry is balanced and consider a spa surface cleaner for stubborn lines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your hot tub's circulation system is running.
- Measure the recommended dosage: two capfuls of Pro-Kleen Anti Foam.
- Pour the measured amount directly into the hot tub water, preferably near the jets or areas where foam is most prominent.
- Allow the circulation system to run for a few minutes to disperse the product evenly.
Compatibility:
- This product is compatible with all standard hot tubs and spa water systems.
- It is designed to work in conjunction with other common hot tub chemicals such as sanitizers (chlorine, bromine) and pH balancers.
Care:
- Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
- Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to maintain product efficacy.
- While this product helps with foam, regular water testing and maintenance (checking pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels) are still essential for overall water health.
