We have a Jacuzzi brand bathtub. My wife finished her bath and the on/off switch would not turn the jets off. It has two access panels on the side of the tub. I unplugged the pump and inline heater. Does it need a new on/off switch in stalled. It's the middle button on the top side.

Probably control panel or if there are separate pumps for each side, that side's pump probably doesn't have a relay working with bad switch from the control panel.

While the brand of the tub may be of importance to you it may not be important when finding parts for it.
Bath tub manufacturers do not make anything that goes into their tubs i,e. the jets, pumps and controls are all purchased from various Mfg.
Are you have any particular problems with either unit that would make you need the brand of either?

If you turn the Jacuzzi pump on and it just hums and no water flows through the jets then you have a bad pump.
You will need to get the brand name of the pump and the model number before you can begin your search to find the proper replacement.
Bath Pumps each have their own size. You will want to find the exact brand so you do not have to change any of the plumbing.

Hello,
You should be able to remove the access panel and just disconnect, and cap the hose that is connected to the pump for the jets and then cap the pump nipple, where the hose connects.

This would likely be easier than trying to locate multiple caps to plug the jet holes in the tub.

I hope this helps you.

The Magic Touch system has been discontinued by Jacuzzi Whirlpool.
You will need a new air switch kit.

you have a bad motor - when a motor overheats there is a sensor inside the motor that will shut if down so as to not damage the windings and such. once your tub has cooled down for 10 mins or so it will turn back on. the fact that you can push the button multiple times just means that you are turning the air switch on the back of the motor on/off until you get to the point where the motor has cooled down and will turn back on. if you do not push the air button after the tub shuts down and you finish your bath then when the pump cools down it will come back on because the air switch in the motor is latching i.e. it is either on or off. Since you left it in the on position the motor will come back on once the motor has cooled down.

you have a bad pump. has a bad spot on the motor, that is why it doesn't start. What model number of pump?

The soapy water will fill all of the jets, tubes and the pump assembly. Will it hurt the tub if the jets are not running? The soap film will build up in the jets, tubes and pump assembly and can possibly cause damage if the tub is run at a later date. Contact the tub manufacture and see if there is a safe bubble bath you can use.

Many time leaks around pumps are a simple o-ring that needs to be cleaned and/or tightened. If the jets are leaking from the back side then the jet will have to be removed and resealed.


Good Luck, Phil
