How to Repair Bathtub Spa Jets

By +Don Vandervort, HomeTips

If your bathtub spa jets suddenly cease to work, take the following steps:

1) Check the electrical panel’s circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If it has, reset it.

2) If that isn’t the problem, consult your owner’s manual to see if the pump has a “high limit manual reset” or a separate circuit breaker on the equipment. If it has either of these, try resetting it.

3) Spa jets still don’t work? Turn off the spa’s electrical circuit and call a repairperson. The problem could be anything from a loose wire to a faulty float switch to a bad pump. (When the repairperson arrives, be sure to let him or her know you’ve turned off the circuit.)
