When the bath pump runs and you get no water going through the jets in your bath Jet trim then the impeller has probably spun off the shaft of the motor.You will not know if this is the case until you take the bath pump out and remove the front cover of the bath pump and check the impeller.If this is the case it usually has to be replaced.

SOURCE: Jacuzzi jets not pumping out water

Check the jet pump, also where the filter is there are two 90s plastic. make sure that they are both in the water, if all those check out then check the switch for the jets. It sounds like the pump is bad and is not pumping the water. Even if the motor works and the internal parts of the motor seal gets wet then it all needs to be replaced and rebuilt. Very easy to do yourself. Like always be careful and unplug the unit.

SOURCE: no whirlpool jets

It sounds like the motor needs to be lubricated or there is debris keeping the impeller from turning without the help of a littl force. I would have a professional that deals with whirlpool tubs come and lube the motor.

SOURCE: Lasco whirlpool tub leaks. Water runs out on

Sorry, the tub will have to pulled out to find out what is leaking so it can be fixed. There is just no other way UNLESS you can open up the wall on the blind side of the tube. (but its probably and exterior wall...if the house is vinyl sided, it can be done. If brick, you'll have to pull the tub). If you just wanted to convert to a tub only, maybe Bathfitters has an insert solution...

SOURCE: Jetted bath tub has stopped working. Motor hums

look on the back of the motor there should be a shaft that you can try to turn to spin free because something inside the pump is blocking it. rate me if this is helpful.

Lost half of my jets on one side of the tub only.I have tried closing the jets that do work half,does not make a difference to the jets not working.Would it be best to empty the tub and start over?

it's likely due to an air lock. Here's what you can do to resolve this issue:

Manually Clearing an Airlock:
Run the jets on low for about 30 seconds.
Then run the jets on high for another 30 seconds.
Repeat this process 3 or 4 times.
If you hear a gurgling sound and see air bubbling up, continue running your hot tub until it pushes all the air out.
If this doesn't work after several attempts, try a different approach.
Bleeder Valves or Pump Method:
Some spas have bleeder valves that allow you to bleed air out of the lines.
First, turn off the spa at the breaker.
Access the pump and loosen the valve to allow the air to escape.
When the air has bled out (you'll notice it turns from hissing air to a stream of water), close the valve.
Run the pump to ensure the jets are now pumping water as expected.
Why Are the Jets Not Working on One Side Only?:
Many hot tubs have two water pumps.
If the jets on only one side of your hot tub stop working, there could be an airlock in only one of the pumps.
It could also be a blockage in the jet lines for that side or a problem with the internal mechanism of the jet itself.
Can You Use a Spa with an Airlock?:
It is not recommended to use a hot tub with an airlock.

Why do jets turn on, then shut off?

the motor protection device is sensing to many amps. could be a flow restriction or the pump motor bearings are going bad.

Hot tub comes on jets want start

most hot tubs have two motors. one is a circulation pump to move water when the heater starts and the other comes on when the jets are being used. from the sounds of it, the one pump isnt running properly

Aqua Glass whirlpool, Indulgence collection, pump turns on and works briefly, then jets stop.

First of all, what you have is a WOW pump that has an E-switch for a control.
There is a knob on the top lip of your tub that you turn a 1/4 turn to turn this pump on/off.
There is a small circuit board inside the box on top of the motor. This is likely the source of your problem.
Here is your biggest problem. That little circuit board is not made anymore. We have the e-switch but you will be better off changing out the pump (which you have to do anyway) with a new WOW pump with an air switch and change the switch on the top lip of the tub to an air button which will turn the pump on/off.

Kohler whirlpool type tub will not pump water out of its jets or take water into the intake. Pump appears to operate fine. Water does not want to move. Suggestions?

When a bath pump turns on but does not move any water it is usually because there is an Air Lock and needs to be released.Try this.
  • Fill the tub with water
  • Turn the pump on
  • Unthread the discharge pump union until water starts to squirt out
  • when this happens you should hear a big 'swoosh'


if the bath pump starts to discharge water through the jets then you have solved the problem.

Jetted tub is on 2nd floor over kitchen. when jets are on water comes thru kitchen light fixture! Help!

First find access to tub,by code there needs to be access to pump motor,either built into wall or various tubs front skirt is removeable.Fill tub and run to visibly see leak,sounds like bearing assembly gaskets are leaking on pump,could possibly be a jet connection,but if it only does while running its the pump or motor assembly.Hope that helps,in the future make sure water is always above suction intakes or can lead to premature burnout of pump

Just looked at 2000 coast spa hot tub with 1 6.5hp motor,is this enough power to support the 30 jets as opposed to another hot tub that has 2 7hp motors with 40 jets

a 6.5hp motor produces quite a bit of force. It should be able to support 30 jets just fine. Most spas range from 2hp to 7hp. Depending on your preferences, the 6.5 should be plenty but if you really want a powerful therapy jet, two 7hp pumps should be more than sufficient. They will also kick your electric meter up a few notches...
Two pumps give you more options, you don't have to have half of the jets turned off so one area can have more power, the dual pumps give you the option to run nearly all of the jets at the same time if you have more than just a couple people in the spa a once.
