Tons of suds in hot tub please help!!!?

Ashley

I cleaned the hot tub out with what I thought was a little dish soap on the rag.. the hot tub is now full of suds and I have had it running all day and all day I have been taking out manually all the suds I can plus I put apple cider vinegar in it(I have no white vinegar). What steps should I take next? I cant have it drained as this is not my house.

Answer
you never use a sudsy material to wash a tub as it will come back to bite you in the ass. a wet microfibre cloth or clear scrub pad would have been your best bet. However your problem is easy to solve.

1.) Go to anyone who sells pool/spa chemicals.
2.) buy a lil 500ml bottle of defoamer might cost you around 10 bucks
3.) spray it into the tub and watch it all disappear as it makes contact with the defoamer.

Next time nothing sudsy to clean the tub as it gets enough suds from the detergent in the bathing suits people for some inexplicable reason wash after getting out of the tub. The vinegar shouldnt cause any long term problems i can think of

What does your hot tub/spa sit on?

spa pads hot tubs image

I just bought a slightly used hot tub. I'm now trying to figure out how to get it all set up. I do not have a patio or a deck to set it on.
I would also rather not have to pour a concrete pad either. Any suggestions on something I could do myself with out it costing me a arm and a leg?
Also, if you have an outside spa do you have it in a screen room or just out under the stars?
Thanks for any advice.

Answer
If you are looking for the cheap way out you can basically prepare a paver block pad to support it. I don't guarantee that the blocks will not crack under the weight because I have no idea how big your tub is, but have had success with helping a couple of friends do this previously.

It is important to get the ground VERY close to level with a hard metal rake and compact soft spots. In order to eliminate any voids in the dirt spread a good even layer of sand on top of the ground before placing the paver blocks down.

If you dig out the top layer of grass and loose dirt beforehand so that the paver blocks basically come out even with the ground it will help keep them from shifting and cracking as well because they are trapped in place by the surrounding dirt.

I highly suggest using a four foot level to check the level of the blocks as you put them in. A FLAT surface is not the same as a LEVEL surface and you definitely will notice the water sitting funny in the tub if it is extremely out of level.

How much can I expect a hot tub to cost?

I am looking for a nice 6 person hot tub w/ an ipod hook up.
No website will give me an estimate.

Answer
An outdoor tub needs to be installed on a level deck or concrete pad. Building a wooden deck can add $500 -$15,000 or more to the total cost, depending on size and complexity; a concrete pad can run $1,000 -$3,000 or more. If the installation site isn't already correctly wired or plumbed, adding an electrical outlet can add $75 -$800 to the total cost, and can be $1,000 -$2,000 or more for extensive electrical and plumbing trenching and installation.

Installing a spa indoors means being able to use it in all weather and with complete privacy, but you need a room with extra ventilation and humidity controls, and a water-proof flooring such as tile. Costs will depend on the extent of remodeling needed.

An in-ground outdoor spa averages about $15,000 -$20,000 or more, according to Better Homes & Gardens.
