Tub with 6 jets 3 on each side and two back massage vents two front jets. Unit is 11 years old and I just purchased the condo and tried out the tub with rain bath gel from Neutrogena.

Something was flushed that should not have been flushed
You will have to have your drain snaked out.

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.

Jets are in the closed position or the pump is shot.
SOURCE: Jetted bath tub has stopped working. Motor hums
I had this same problem on my tub, which uses a GE motor. I looked at the motor, and on one end (the end opposite where the water comes out) there is a hole in the middle. In that hole is the head of the shaft, which has a regular screw tip. Turning this turns the motor. I filled the tub, inserted a slotted regular screwdriver and turned it about 10 times clockwise, then 10 times counterclockwise. You should see the whole motor turn. Doing this loosened it up, and then it started.
Once it started, all kinds or residue came out, which was probably why it had stopped working. I hadn't used it for a while.
After getting it running I'm going to run some cleaning solution through it, and make sure I run it more often to prevent this in the future.
I'm not a professional, just a guy trying to fix his own tub. So take my advise with that grain of salt.
SOURCE: need to find out why
see if the jet faces turn at all. Sometimes the jets are adjustable to allow more pressure from some jets.
turn the face of the jet and see what happens.
