Step-by-Step Guide to Turning On Your Jacuzzi® Bathtub

Even though Jacuzzi® tubs feature advanced technology, they are designed with user-friendliness in mind. Turning on your new bathtub is as simple as using a standard tub, with just a few extra steps to engage the jets and maximize your relaxation. At Jacuzzi Bath Remodel of Southeast Michigan, we offer walk-in tubs, freestanding tubs, and full bathtub replacements. In addition to tubs, we also install showers and provide tub-to-shower conversions. 

1. Start by Filling the Tub

Before you activate any jets or features, begin by filling your Jacuzzi® bathtub with water. Follow these steps:

  • Turn on the water using the handle, just as you would with a regular bathtub.
  • Adjust the temperature to your liking to ensure a comfortable soak.
  • Fill the tub until the water level is high enough to cover the jets. This is crucial because running the jets without enough water can damage the system.

2. Activate the Jets

Once your tub is filled, it’s time to activate the signature Jacuzzi® experience:

  • Locate the control panel, which may feature push buttons or digital settings, depending on your model.
  • Press the button designated for the jets to turn them on.
  • Some models allow you to adjust the intensity of the water flow, so feel free to experiment and find your preferred setting.
  • If your tub includes additional features like LED lighting or aromatherapy functions, activate those for an enhanced spa-like atmosphere.

3. Immerse Yourself and Enjoy

Now that the water is warm, the jets are bubbling, and the ambiance is set, it’s time to step in and relax. Let the hydrotherapy massage away your stress while you enjoy a rejuvenating soak.

Additional Features That Enhance Your Jacuzzi® Tub Experience

Jacuzzi® bathtubs offer more than just basic relaxation. Here are a few notable features that can take your experience to the next level:

  • Hydrotherapy Jets: These strategically placed jets provide targeted massage therapy, helping to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation.
  • Chromotherapy Lighting: Many models include LED lighting options that can create a calming or energizing atmosphere.
  • Aromatherapy Compatibility: Some Jacuzzi® tubs allow you to add essential oils to enhance relaxation.
  • Heated Soaking: Select models include built-in heating elements to keep your bathwater warm for longer periods.
  • Adjustable Jet Settings: Customize the water pressure and flow to match your relaxation needs.

Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Jacuzzi® Tub in Pristine Condition

To keep your Jacuzzi® bathtub in pristine condition and extend its lifespan, regular maintenance is essential. After each use, wipe down the tub to prevent soap scum buildup and keep the surface clean. Periodically, run the jets with a cleaning solution to remove any lingering debris or bacteria that could affect performance. Always ensure the water level is above the jets before turning them on to prevent air from entering the system. 

Additionally, use only Jacuzzi®-recommended cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the tub’s surface or jet system. By following these simple steps, you can maintain optimal performance and enjoy a relaxing, worry-free experience.

What Should You Do If Your Jacuzzi® Tub Isn’t Working

If your Jacuzzi bathtub jets won’t turn on, try these steps:

  1. Check Power & Reset – Press the GFCI reset button near the tub and check the circuit breaker. Turn the power off for 10–15 minutes and restart.
  2. Verify Jet Controls – Ensure the jets are activated on the control panel and adjust the intensity knob if available.
  3. Test the Air Switch – Press the air switch button firmly multiple times to see if it engages.
  4. Clean the Jets – If some jets work but others don’t run a vinegar or Jacuzzi cleaner cycle to remove buildup.
  5. Listen for the Pump – A humming sound may indicate a jammed motor, while silence could mean an electrical issue.
