Please allow me to ask again, what are you wearing into the spa? Foam is usually caused by residual soap in fabric.

Foam is usually caused by residual soap in fabric.We don't wear anything into the spa. I do notice that if I put extra MPS into the water it foams more and that is why I wondered if that was the cause. There must be some reason for some spa users to use Dichlor daily instead of the daily MPS as directed. I am confused. Our spa is small with only 150 gallons of water so I suppose being a tad off can make a big difference. We are going to be adding a Covermate 2 lifter and a handrail to the spa this week. Both are the type that require the spa to be emptied so that the base of each can go under the spa. No screws into the cabinet. Now would be the time to decide which method of sanitizing the new water would work best. I was hoping someone who is using Dichlor daily and MPS weekly could explain why they went this route and if it was because of foaming.
With a once per week treatment, how often do you use your spa? We use ours nightly for one hour. Wouldn't I have to treat the water several days per week? I would think once per week would not be enough. Joe

JoeMPS once per week and always maintain 1 or 2ppm of chlorine is what was stated, that usually requires 2 additions during the week based on my particular use. Of course I do not have kids, soaks are nowhere near an hour, and I don't like other people in my spa ...if you and your family are using an hour per day, then most definitely you will need more chlorine...if you want you could probably pm user 'chem geek' and he can probably give you exact #'s based on bather load factoring in 25% or so reduction in chlorine per day...he is probably one of the most knowledgeable around here when it comes to chemicals
