Welcome to our forum.
I wonder if your enzyme product was mispackaged and is something else. I have never seen any enzyme product cause foam. I suppose that its possible that combined with something else, maybe. Years ago I accidentally added Natural Chemistry Spa Purge instead of Spa Perfect to a hot tub on my showroom floor. Lots of foam. I called Natural Chemistry and their only solution was drain and refill, which is what I did.

I've only had the tub for around 2 months now and just drained it once already 3 weeks ago due to biofilm. Would love to get on this "change your water every 4 month" routine, but so far that doesn't seem real for me.

Are you able to maintain a bromine/chlorine level in the tub?
How is your calcium level, and curious how you got biofilm after only 2 months? Which brings us back to a sanitation issue.
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?

Is the foam white or colored like brown\black\yellow in color? What type of sanitizer and what is the level at?

What type of sanitizer and what is the level at?Foam is white...I have no issues with scum or any sort of scum line currently. Water is also crystal clear.I am using bromine+mineral floaters and the bromine reads out around 3-5PPM

Water is also crystal clear.I am using bromine+mineral floaters and the bromine reads out around 3-5PPMSo is it getting better because before it was cloudy correct? I would attack it with some liquid chlorine. Get the level up to 15-20 ppm for a day or two and kill off whatever is causing it. Unfortunately it sounds like whatever you got in that package was probably something else

Like the stuff you use in your laundry. Make sure it's unscented.Lets talk about lotions, cream rinse, shampoos, deodorant, after shave, perfume. Stuff you, your wife/girlfriend, kids, friends may bring in to your tub.
