Enzyme issue

[bradleyabell]

Hi everyone. I finally had my tub working great with no chemical or
Foam issues. I added 2oz of natural enzyme tonight as per the directions and it instantly caused
My tub to become Cloudy and to foam up.  I thought the natural enzyme was the way to go since it’s “natural” but something in it is causing a reaction in my tub. I am using a bromine floater plus mineral floaters.

Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on ??

What is the name of the enzyme?

[bradleyabell]

The brand is Swimway...It came with my Bullfrog tub from Watson's.

 Have you tried calling your dealer?  Sounds like a sanitation problem, which enzyme products are not.

No, but my bromine levels are fine...No issues there.

Enzymes won’t cause that. Has to be something else going on. Have you called your dealer or better yet brought a water sample there?  High PH?  Not enough filtration?  Mis marked bottle?  Has to be something but I would start with the dealer you bought it from

  So your using bromine and a natural enzyme product, why?  Makes no sense..

It came with my tub and was told to use weekly...Should I not be using it?

 Keep bromine level where it needs to be, shock with MPS once a week and watch your PH/Alk levels. Skip the enzyme crap. I would get a bottle of Leisure time Defender good stuff. 

 End of story.

I was also given a bottle of some kind of enzyme stuff when I bought my bromine feeder tub. They gave me a box of stuff and it was in it. I think that’s how they get rid of stuff they cant sell. I read the directions a few times I tried it and didn’t see where it did anything. But if you put it in a clear tub and instantly got cloudy and stayed that way, I would think that could be the cause, and I would call the dealer or take a sample in. If they give you some mumbo jumbo story and from some of your other threads they don’t seem as up on things as they should be. Take matters into your own hands and figure out a method that works for you. Sounds like your method wont require enzymes.


Keep in mind all water doesn’t start out the same when we fill a tub. What works for one person might have to be tweaked for another.

When would you recommend to add the defender?

[Jacuzzi Jim]

 I add some once a week.  Like a shot glass, probably less sometimes.  If you miss a week or 2 no worries.

Enzymes serve a purpose. They are good for reducing scum lines and helping make your sanitizer more effective.

Still having foam issues ever since adding the enzyme.  Foam Down temporarily gets rid of it, but it not a "solve it" solution.  Does anyone have any good ways of actually eliminating the foam I'm getting?
