Capping a jetted tub.
I have had this tub for a good 10years now but only used the jets twice too noisy.
The tub specialist just left and had me under the skirt to see how snow white my pvc drainage pipes were and said he had never seen a unit this clean in over 30 years with that much use.

Drain tub fill again as before and run 10 more minutes.
Clean all jet parts and clean and rinse tub.
I used the turn on the whirlpool every 2 weeks to clean out when my daughter lived at home and used the tub with bathtub salts oils bubbles etc but since she left home i did not start it and the motor seized.
Turn it off when the jets are covered by 2 3 in 5 1 7 6 cm of water.
Turn the hot water on and let it fill the tub.
This concentrates the flow resulting in a deeper cleaning.
Closing the induction valves forces water to circulate only through the internal plumbing of the tub.
With the valves closed or not.
Clean your jetted tub every 1 3 months if you use your tub daily or several times a week.
Close the jets on a whirlpool to focus the flow on one area.

Fill the tub with hot water to 2 3 in 5 1 7 6 cm above the highest jets.
Instead of replacing the tub i know it would be a lot cheaper just to plug the holes.
Run jets 10 minutes.
