I know I can take a bath without turning on the jets. However; does the bath water with soap flow back into the jets? I like bubble baths, If I leave the jets off can I use the bubble bath without having to rince the jets. Again does the bath water flow back? Thanks

Strange, I gave a long and involved answer to this question, but it isn't here! Ah, Fixya didn't like a term I used for the residue that old soap causes. The word is 'sum' with a 'c' in it.

You probably have a birds nest in the vent pipe on the roof and it is creating a vacuum.

You can also use drain opener in the bath tub. Run very hot water, and add drain cleaner. Wait 15 minutes and add a cup of very hot water and more drain opener. Leave 12 hours. Put the plug in the bath and add 6" of hot water and then pull the plug. This will flush away soap build up in the pipe especially where the bath outlet enters the soil stack. It builds up there as a lip.

The water jets in most spas are adjustable so you can turn the water flow down to just a trickle if you want to.
You don't take current spa jets out of the spa. They are held in place by a couple of tabs. Through the years the chlorine/bromine will deteriorate those tabs and the spa jets will start "popping" out when the jets get turned on.
If you pull the jet insert out the socket they are in, you will ruin the jet insert and it will need to be replaced.

I have galbocca jet tub which is no longer working. I live in Lawton, ok. No one works on them here. Any suggestions?

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.

There are several cleaning methods on the internet. I would contact the maker of the tub and see if they have a cleaning agent. I know that Jacuzzi and Aquatic industries have a cleaner that works rather well. I have seen one on the net that uses 2 teaspoons of powder dishwasher soap mixed with bleach. I have not tried this one so don't know how well it works. The ones from the tub companies are not cheap, but if you want something that is going to do the job, spend the money.

well buy new soap how old is she

open the side panel and there will be a sticker on or near the pump with all the info

Bubble bath is definitely out of the question. Provide any of the products that you are using do not have a detergent base or bubbles so to speak, you can use them. Depending on how many times a week you use it you might want to get a cleaner that they use on hot tubs from you local pool distributer. I hope this helps you.

whirlpool tub has jets that circulate the water, where an air bath uses bubbles that rise gently from the bottom of the tub. Whirlpools are typically used for therapy, air baths are used for a much gentler experience. Air baths can be used with aromatherapy/essential oils. Both offer a spa-like experience.
