Jets not working

I have an Eljer jacuzzi tub in my master bath. I have used it before and know that it has worked in the past. When I recently filled up the tub, no jets would work. I live in a townhouse and believe that the brainiac person who installed it may have tiled around it. ( The only access panel I have is for the hot/cold water) The propery management compnay has no information on the tub. I am desperate for any information at this point.

I have seen this in the past, a ground fault electrical outlet on the inside of a roman tub,if you have a 2 story house look for access panel on or by tub. otherwise you have to remove tile or other to access motor, you probably need a step too anyways

    let me add to my comment. in calif its code they have too have a panel or some way to access, because that motor has to plugged in, maybe on one side of tub you have a vanity if so theres probably a plug close by, cut a hole on inside of vanity straight down from elect outlet so you can follow elect line. if your plumbing is mounted on the deck and not mounted to the tub itsself, you can lift it,a little , the oppisite side of the drain up, wont be easy.a year ago i went to tile a bathroom floor, the same exact problem on tub, no power, it was a two story house on the outside of house there was a access panel painted the same color as the stucko, i got a ladder and there was a gfi outlet that was tripped,i know you have some kind of access somewhere, i'm a licensed tile contractor i've never not seen a panel because they finish plumbing after i'm done. good luck

    i was thinking about your problem about access panel to your tub. i have tiled around access panels on two separate times and caulked the panel flush to the face of tub platform,so when the home owner had to open it he had to cut the caulking around it. good luck

My new jacuzzi 6 jet tub is only working on one side. What could cause that?

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.

I need to know how to clean the jets in our eljer spa tub

Cleaning your Tub
There are several options for cleaning the piping on a jetted bathtub.
The reason you have a residue on the bathtub surface when you are done bathing is because there is bacteria built up in the plumbing of the jetted tub. In order to remove that and reduce the amount of "yucky stuff" coming into the tub when using it, we recommend a regular usage of a jet cleaning product about once every couple of months
Here is a link to the cleaning products I can find right now. There may be other out there that I am not aware of but I do know these products work well in all jetted bathtubs.

Need reviews on Eljer Whirlpool Triangle Tubs. Eljer a Good Tub to Buy?

Eljer is owned by Jacuzzi Whirlpool. Very nice tub. Eljer is one of the bigger Bathtub Mfg out there.
Not sure why he has not heard of them. Lowes is probably the biggest seller of that brand.

Jetted bath tub has stopped working. Motor hums

look on the back of the motor there should be a shaft that you can try to turn to spin free because something inside the pump is blocking it. rate me if this is helpful.

I know I can take a bath without turning on the jets. However; does the bath water with soap flow back into the jets? I like bubble baths, If I leave the jets off can I use the bubble bath without having...

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.

I have an Eljer jet bathtub with a smell to the water when we bat

What you smell is algae forming in the pipes. If you have small black particles in the tub when running the jets, it is algae. Fill the tub with hot water, add 2 teaspoons of cascade dish soap and 1/2 cup bleach. run the tub for 15 minutes and drain. fill tub with cold water, run for 15 minutes and drain, tub is now ready to use. repeat as necessary.
