How can I remove jets from the whirlpool? - Whirlpool Home

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.

their jets un-thread counter clockwise. you will need to contact Americh directly. they will be able to sell you new jet trim.

Most likely your jets are clogged. Usually you can remove the jet where it mates with the tub and see what's going on in there. Also, you might want to open your access hatch and see if you can get to your non jetting jets this way. Hope this helps.

no such items exist. use it like a jetted bathtub or pull it out and put in a soaker tub.

You need to remove jets check for cracking if so buy new jet if not cleanup and use a 100% clear silicone to re-install

Jet tools only remove the wall fittings from the jet body. Most bathtub jets are removed by turning them counter clockwise.

The jets have a nut on the back of the jet. I hope you have access or else you will need to pull the tub for this job. Loosen the nut and squeeze aquarium grade silicone in between the tub wall and the nut, Tighten the nut, but not to tight. Let set over night fill and check for leaks the next day.

Some jets are removable for cleaning and some are not. Consult Kohler about the jet removal. Normally if a jet is removable it will turn to the left (looking at the jet straight on) and then will pop with a little more force. I suggest contacting Kohler before attempting to remove the jets.

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
