Can not get the jets to work

I have a whirlpool bath tub in a rental property I purchased about 2-1/2 years ago. The property is about 18 years old I assume the tub and motor are all original. When I purchased the property the jets worked and I cleaned the tub out the last time tenants moved and they still worked. Once again I had some tenants move out and now I can not get the jets to work. I have tried resetting the GFI in the bathroom and checked the breaker. What else can I try and troubleshoot or what do you think the problem may be?

Most of the control buttons on a tub are not electrical. These buttons are connected to an air line that runs to the motor. Sometimes an aggressive button push can literally blow the air line right off of the bottom of the button.
This problem is as easy to fix as it sounds. Find the loose air line and push it back onto the button. You will need to open up your access panel. Bring a flashlight.
Be sure to check the connection at the motor too. Good luck

Cloudy water

Always clean you jet tub as directed by the manual. If you don't have one, than fill tub above the jets, add liquid dishwasher gel (not tabs) with bleach and run through the jets for 20 minutes. Drain, fill with clean water and run two times to clean the tub and jets and then use. Be sure your metal filter is clean of hair and soap debris. This will keep your tub and jets nice and clean. Also recommend using Epsom salts and either essential oil of lavender or eucalyptus to your bath. Both essential oils have antibacterial properties. If you want it simpler, purchase Dr. Teal's lavender soak from the drug store. Happy soaking!

American standard jet bath tub black particles coming out of jets

The problem you are experiencing is common to many jetted bathtubs.It is a result of dried bathing water in the tub. There are a couple of solutions to resolve this ongoing problem.
  1. Use your tub more frequently as the water will not have time to fester in the pipes.
  2. Use a cleaning solution made for cleaning the pipes on jetted bathtubs once every three months.

You find Cleaning and Maintenance Products for jetted tubs at the following website. US Parts Center

How to replace broken jet nozzles in whirlpool tub

Hopefully your tub is not too old because this will make replacing the nozzles very difficult as they are no longer made.
If in fact you have a Jacuzzi Brand bath you can get what is still available for bath jets here. The diagrams will give you an idea of how they come apart.

For replacement parts your best bet is to you use the on-line dealer locator:

or you can shop on-line from one of their authorized retailers; however did not see any of the parts you are looking for at the sites I checked:

How can I unclog plumbing in whirlpool tub used to clean dogs?

Depending on how mechanically inclined you are, take apart the tub and clean everything out. No easy task, I know, but who want old dog hair floating around? That will be your best bet.
