I am trying to fix a loose spout on a jacuzzi nova 6 drop in tub. There is no access to get under the tub. It looks like a sea crest fixture but not sure. This spout has a set screw on the back side on the base. when lifting the brass spout off, there is a fitting that has an O-ring on it and a set screw. is ther suppose to be a gasket between the spout hold down and the tub. any idea what brand i have by my description??

SOURCE: Rapid Heater for Jacuzzi

The light is supposed to be on when the tub is full of water and the pump comes on. Make sure the heater is plugged into a seperate breaker, it cannot be on the same line as the pump.
Look on the heater for a label. If your heater is installed on the discharge side of the pump it should say "pressure heater" on it. If it is installed in front of the pump it should say "Vacuum Heater" on it.
Once installed, fill the tub with water and turn the pump on. If it is installed in the correct position the light will come on when the pump turns on.

SOURCE: Jacuzzi Leaking

you need to pull the jet body out and then put some 100% RTV silicone around the jet body and the inside of the wall fitting. Once the silicone is in place re-assemble the jet. that will solve the leak unless there is a broken piece on the jet body or the lip of the wall fitting.

SOURCE: Jacuzzi Espree with side access pannels leaks.

you can use a scissor cutter or a utility knife and make a nice square cut in the hose. After replacing the nut, hopefully you can find one, you can get a pvc coupling, the hose is the same size as pvc pipe, and use pvc glue to reattach the 2 ends back together. Use Oatey Rain-N-Shine glue....it is in a light blue can and the actual color of the glue is blue.

Testimonial: "thanks, but due to space constraints n the amout of hose attaxhed (3) I will try to use the existing nut by wrapping with a hose clamp to keeping it "

SOURCE: 1980's jacuzzi bathtub, won't turn on (seems to be

you will need to open up the back of the tub where the pump is and see if there is a clear tube about 1/4" OD attached to the backside of it close to the pump cord.
If it is there then you will need to check out the air switch on the motor that the air tubing attaches to to see if it is good. If it will activate the pump when you blow into it with a straw then the air button on the top of the bathtub is probably bad and needs to be changed. if it does not turn the pump on/off when you blow into it then you will need a new air switch.

I have the Jacuzzi 9235 Nova 6 and pump has gone out. Where can I find a replacement pump, and are there options on different pumps to replacement the existing pump?

You can get a replacement motor, or a whole pump at most swimming pool product, or spa outlet stores . Also many plumbing supply houses, or online (http://www.jacuzziwhirlpoolbath-parts.com/) You will need all the info on the motor as well as the pump model. The pumps are usually in a very confined space. It is best to have a professional do the work, however a handy homeowner can make the repair. Just remember this job involves three things water and electricity and in a confined space, so make sure all power to the unit is off even if you are just getting the information needed to replace the pump. As far as options it is best to replace the pump with the same model increasing horsepower or putting a two-speed pump where there was a single-speed may require modifications to the tub.

I recently move into a condo that has a Delta single lever Series 1400 single lever bathtub fixture. The bathtub has a shower nozzle that looks like it has been used. I cannot find where there is a button,...

Is there a button on the tub filler? How about the spout on the tub, does it lift up? If there is not a tub spout then it should be shower only, if it has a tub spout it has to have a lifter of some sort, the foto I found showed the little button lifter. Hope this helps.

Removing gold toned grab bars and fixtures from old whirlpool tub

sometimes a plumber leaves an access panel to get at the drain and jets under the tub---it's usually small and may not be enough to get a body in---usually the grab bars are permanently glued or siliconed on a fiberglass/plastic tub....a cast iron, or other non-plastic type tub may have removable grab bars...look for access area, or you may just have to cut out a piece of the wall to look----or if you do find a small access panel, and can get a telescoping mirror to look back at the back of the grab bar underneath the tub, you will find your answer----or you could contact the original manufacturer of the tub, and they can tell you if the grab bars are removable....another solution is to coat/paint/sandblast the metal bars however you'd like them to be

My jacuzzi bathtub plastics pipes underneath are leaking due to being chewed by rats. So if i fill up the tub to the jacuzzi line holes, water leakes through the chewed pipes on to the wood floor...

no there is no solutions for plugging off the jets so the water doesn't go in them. you will have to pull the tub and repair the lines. no access panel just means you have to dig in!

Jacuzzi whirlpool hot tub, flashes Fl-1 has new filters,

Sounds like a bad heating element. This is located in a stainless steel tube under or around the main control box behind the cover around the tub. It is not hard to replace but should be done by a pro. The part is avaliable online.

How to install tub spout for delta model 174924 shower assembly

Normally, tub spouts are screwed onto 1/2" NPT galvanized pipe. I was unable to pull the spec for your particular tub filler, but I haven't found one yet that doesn't. I don't know why the builder didn't rough it in this way, but it will have to be fixed because there isn't any way to use anything but a threaded fixture (your other options are really only compression or soldered/sweated and you don't have the space behind the tub filler to do either of these). There should be a fitting in the wall (attached to a stud) that converts from the 1/2" copper pipe to 1/2" NPT galvanized. This piece needs to be added behind the wall so that you can attach your tub filler.

About the gap, it's generally a good idea to leave space around the pipe anyway so that minor temperature or humidity changes in the wall don't put stress on your plumbing and cause it to crack over time. That's one of the reasons why tub fillers are flared at the back (so that it covers the gap).

Bathtub drain leaking

Since two plumbers have tried and failed, I'm assuming that the problem is none of the obvious ones. I have two ideas for you, the second being the most effort, but also the most likely.

(1) If you have ceramic tile on the walls around the tub, sometimes cracks between the tiles will develop or the grout itself will develop leaks (become very porous). This would not necessarily show visible cracks, but could appear to be a drain problem since it will only leak during/after use. For this, you would need to patch the grout where needed and seal it well.

(2) You may have a leak in the piping under the tub. Since you mention a light fixture downstairs under it, it is likely that you can "create" access to the piping. This would require cutting a section of drywall out immediately under the drain and approaching the light fixture, about a foot wide should be enough to give you a decent look. Cut the drywall carefully so you can use the same piece to close the hole, with a little spackle, when you are done. Once open, turn on the water and watch to see where the leak is coming from. At that point you (or a plumber) should be able to identify what to do.

If your older house is "really" older and you have plaster instead of drywall, do the same thing, except you obviuously can't use the old plaster to fix the hole when you are done.

Motor buzzes, like it's resetting but never stops

It sounds as though the motor is about to go out. If you have access, try and lubricate the shaft using a zoom spout oiler. Its just a little bottle of oil with a long thin spout like on a can of wd-40. Look around the motor houseing to see if there are any lube holes too but I doubt there are any. Maybe this will help.

Delta faucet is loose ;moves right-left/wobbles. Tightening?

Try tightening the allen set screw behind the spout "you need a special (allen keys) to do this, and one should have came with your faucet". You can also buy or borrow an set of them.
