It's probably just gas build up from the jasper. Open the lid periodically to let it out and avoid the lid from poping off on its own.

Ok thanks. Do you think that every 24 hours is ok to let out the gas?

Its nothing irregular I had it happen to me on this batch of assorted I was running. If it gets too foamy...just clean out the barrel and recharge it.

I had severe foaming issues untill I replaced my water softener. Rather than go to that expense, I did it for the house water not tumbling, get some R/O water from the grocery store. If they have an outside filtering system, it should not be more than .25 a gallon. It could be the stones, but it could also be the water.

Hmm...never thought about how hard the water is down this way....We get water from the NY area down here that would definately explain the Foam issue I had. As long as the stones still tumble its all good...
