I have a Jacuzzi brand bathtub/whirlpool 6 years old. One of my jets leaked and created a significant damage downstairs. How can I fix the jet, how can I prevent other jets from leaking? Can I just kill the jets and use it as a bathtub?
Re: I have a Jacuzzi brand bathtub/whirlpool 6 years old....
The gasket around the jet may be leaking because it is deteriorating or the flange nut on the outer side of the jet has loosened up. Check all jets for loose hardware.

if you have a water stain on the ceiling below your tub then you have a water leak. There is no easy solution for this. You must get to the underside of the tub in order to watch the jets when the tub is full of water to isolate the leak and then have it repaired by a plumber.
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!
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.
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.
