SOURCE: Difference tubs and air baths

whirlpool tub has jets that circulate the water, where an air bath uses bubbles that rise gently from the bottom of the tub. Whirlpools are typically used for therapy, air baths are used for a much gentler experience. Air baths can be used with aromatherapy/essential oils. Both offer a spa-like experience.

SOURCE: Whirlpool tub not cutting off.

First I would remove the switch hose from the pump. Pinch the end of the hose over and hold it in place with a piece of tape. Depress the button and hold. If the button has little to no resistance then there is a hole in the air line which is causing enough air to leak that there is not enough force to activate the switch. If that is not the problem then just consider leaving the switch in the hole on the tub surface but adding a regular wall swich to the wall near the tub. This move the switch action from the tub to the wall. This a really cheap solution compared to getting a new switch mechanism which is what is broken for about $200.

SOURCE: whirlpool bath won't turn on.

Most of the control buttons on a tub are not electrical. These buttons are connected to an air line that runs to the motor. Sometimes an aggressive button push can literally blow the air line right off of the bottom of the button.
This problem is as easy to fix as it sounds. Find the loose air line and push it back onto the button. You will need to open up your access panel. Bring a flashlight.
Be sure to check the connection at the motor too. Good luck

SOURCE: new whirlpool bath installed pump

I would guess there could be one of two problems. First, open the access pannel so you have acces to the motor and air tubes. From your actuator that turns on the jets, there should be a small tube (probably clear) that goes from the actuator to the motor. this tube controls the jets, make sure it is connected, finding the small nipple that this tube connects to on the motor can be difficult and they are often not connected when you buy the tub or come loose during instalation. If that is OK, check to make sure the Air Inlet pipe is not blocked. there should be one (maybe 2 but usually 1) of the large tubes that circle the tub undernieth that is open on one end. It is probably the tube that is the highest off the ground. this should not be connected to anything, it almostt appears that the water would rush out if you don't connect it to something, but that is where the air comes in for the bubbles. good Luck

I have a HydroAir Magna Series Whirlpool pump model #LD7AC that will not shut off with the airswitch. The airswitch does not appear to be disconnected nor does the tubing appear to be clogged. Any...

If your bath pump LD7A-C will not shut off when you push the air button then the AIR SWITCH in the motor needs to be replaced.
This is a pretty common problem with Bath Pumps and easily fixed.

Hydroair magna series whirlpool pump model #LD7AC airswitch does not work. It appears to be connected properly and not blocked. Any suggestions?

If your Bath Pump will not shut off when you push the Air Button, it sounds as if the Air Switch is not working in your Bath Pump.
Click on the Air Switch name and it will show you the replacement part you need to fix the Bath Pump.

How to start the jets on an MTI FURO MTDS 59

Checking the circuit breaker for power to the pump is obvious however the control that turns the bath pump on/off may be the real problem.
MTI has what control box to operate the pump?
Check there first because that may be the problem before the bath pump is a problem.
We would need to know the model number of the bath pump and the control box if there is one that the bath pump plugs into.

Push button on my jacuzzi won't start it despite power going to unit

The air button on your tub may be bad and not sending enough air to the air switch located on the bath pump.
The way to check this is to remove the bath pump and see if you can turn the bath pump on by taking a large straw and blowing into the air switch on the bath pump to see if you can get the bath pump to turn on.
If the bath pump comes on then you know you have a bad air button.
If you cannot get the bath pump to turn on then remove the air switch and plug the two wires going to the air switch together and then plugging the pump into a power outlet you know has power.
If the bath pump comes on then you know you need a new air switch in the motor.
If the motor does not come on then you need a new bath pump.

The air switch on my whirlpool tub will not toggle, i must hold the button in to keep motor running.

What you are experiencing when you push the Air Button down and it engages the BATH PUMP but when you release the the Air Button is a bad Air Switch in the BATH PUMP.
When you push the air button down it sends a column of air to move a small switch in the BATH PUMP. When the switch in the BATH PUMP is bad it will not engage.
What you need is a new Air Switch model TBS-339.

I have a Jacuzzi whirlpool bath model U640 Espree 536 and it wouldn't shut off. I cut the air line off at the pump and nbow it won't stay on for more than a few seconds. Any ideas?

I assume you hooked the hose back up to the air switch on the motor.
There will only be a couple of things to check.
Make sure you have a good connection with the air hose to the air switch on the motor. Sounds like maybe the air switch may be bad.
The Air Switch is a latching air switch so if is broken then it won't latch when the air button is pushed.

Kohler Whirlpool K-1266 (Does not star

Here are some possible causes and solutions. I know some seem simple but am trying to cover all base
  1. Jets Closed, rotate Jet trm ring counterclockwise to open.
  2. Jet not installed correctly, re-install jet, check for 'O' ring damage.
  3. Jets are blocked, Check for blockage and remove.
  4. Pump is not priming, Pumps with wooden support blocks only, Pump shimmed to high, lower pump support bracket. (wooden support blocks only)
  5. Pump is air locked. Loosen fitting on pump outlet to allow any air to escape, re-tighten.
  6. Air Actuator tubing is disconnected, loose, kinked, plugged or damaged. Connect, straighten, clean or replace air actuator tubing.
  7. Air Actuator does not work, replace the air actuator
visual check to see if pump is turning when motor is is on. If not replace the the pump you may need to disconnect the the inlet/outlet to see. I hope this helps at least provide some direction. Good Luck, Jeff
