Welcome to our forum.
Forgot to add --- The foam issue, has been a thorn in my side too. We wash our suits (when we wear them) in plain water and let them drip dry.No one besides us uses the tub, but every once in awhile we get this huge foaming problem. I just add the anti-foam and it takes care of the issues within minutes, but what the heck is causing this problem to keep repeating?
Synp, We are going to confuse folks talking about Full Foam insulation and a tub full of foam in the same topic . I too battle foam. Mostly it's from visitors who insist on wearing a suit. When it's just me and the wife au natural, the tub is pretty good. I have tried foam down, but found it clouds up the water. Some folks say rather than pour the foam down into the tub, they use a spray bottle and spray a minimal amount of FD on the foam, minimmizing the amout of FD used and in therory less cloudy results. I've yet to try this and may give it a whirl the next time I have a problem.I'd like to hear from others how they tackle the foam issue. I found if I balance the water to a "T" and then add clarifier (which cause a BOATLOAD of foaming) scoop out the foam and let it go for a day, it's usually back pretty good. But I think there has to be a better way?
I am going to do this just to prove you wrong yet again drewster. I understand your point and your feelings about this age long debate, but, I am going to finally be able to say that you are right or wrong. If, and only if, I am relative to the temps that have been listed here, I dont want to hear you slam arctic spas because of the FF TP debate anymore. Deal???Also, to add, the two coldest months of the year this year, Dec. and Jan. average temp from the weather network was -6 in December and -9 in January, not including windchill. So with TP, my bill went up 17.00 canadian from last year. That includes the cost of hydro going up. last year I never owned a tubSo for average running in cold climate I would strongly suggest to you that TP is EQUAL TO FF not saying better or claiming to say better.My TP tub is hollow in the cabinet but remember, the it is foamed all the way around to create a seal. So in 48 hours, I will let you know my results and that should settle it. Cold canadian climate I will give you the temperatures here and all that other good stuff.
Good advice. One thing I do is run the jets at top speed and then get the leaf blower and blow all the foam off the surface. Works like a charm.Sorry for taking the direction of this thread to the South!
