What are HTH spa Defoamer EcoPods?

HTH spa Defoamer EcoPods are pre-measured, water-soluble pods that eliminate hot tub foam instantly with no measuring and no chemical touch. Simply drop one pod into the water with the jets running for a precisely dosed, no-waste treatment.

What are HTH spa Defoamer EcoPods and how do they differ from liquid defoamer?

HTH spa Defoamer EcoPods are pre-measured, water-soluble pods that deliver a precise dose of hot tub defoamer. Drop one pod into foamy water with the jets running—no measuring, pouring, or spills. The pod dissolves completely, releasing the defoaming agent inside. They offer the same fast foam elimination as liquid defoamer in a convenient format with no mess and no waste.

Do I remove the EcoPod wrapper before adding it to the hot tub?

No. The pod wrapper is designed to dissolve completely in hot tub water. Simply drop the entire pod into the water with the jets running. The wrapper dissolves within minutes, releasing the defoamer. Do not remove the wrapper, as doing so may cause the product to spill.

How many Defoamer EcoPods should I use at once?

Start with one pod for routine foam treatment. For very heavy foam in a larger hot tub, a second pod may be used after the first has dissolved and jets have run for several minutes. As with any defoamer, more is not always better — the goal is to use the minimum amount needed to clear the foam.

Are Defoamer EcoPods safe for all hot tub surfaces?

Yes. HTH spa Defoamer EcoPods are safe for acrylic, vinyl, and fiberglass hot tub surfaces and will not harm jets, seals, or the heater. The pre-measured pod dissolves completely, eliminating the waste associated with measuring from a bottle.

How soon after adding a Defoamer EcoPod can I use my hot tub?

Foam should dissipate within minutes of the pod dissolving and the jets running. You can typically use the hot tub again within 15–20 minutes, once the foam has cleared and you have verified that sanitizer levels (bromine 2–4 ppm or chlorine 3–5 ppm) are within the normal range.
