Help with unblocking whirlpool bath

[uksoundz]

Hi

I have these air jets in the base of my bath and when I switch the pump on only
one works, it started working and lots of grime came out so I suspect all are blocked

Does anyone know of a way to clean these and remove them? I’ve tried myself to no avail.

Also; interestingly when I switch the pump on it will work for around 5 minutes and then switch off and not come back on for a good half hour!

Any suggestions welcomed, most of the YouTube and Google searches just bring up baths with large air jets not the type my bath has.

Thanks

there are probably some liquids for cleaning the bath you should clean on a regular basis this is from a us site What are those Black Flakes in my Whirlpool Tub? - https://www.usinspect.com/blog/what-are-those-black-flakes-my-whirlpool-tub/

Do you know the make/model of the bath?

Some models, e.g. Whirlpool Airspa, have diffuser caps (the parts you can see in your photo) that unscrew. Others snap on, i.e. have lugs that clip over a rim on the outlet, others push in and are held in place by an o-ring. There is essentially no standardisation as far as I can tell.

Google for images of "air jet bath diffuser caps" and you can see the range of possibilities.

All spa baths need a rigorous cleaning regime using chemicals specified by the manufacturer. They get revolting quite fast if this is not followed diligently.

Hi

I’ve had a look and the make is a Genesys Air Blower

Managed to take them off. They unscrew. Does anyone know the best way to clean these? Sorry for the disgusting photo ha

You can buy tablets that you put in the bath and then turn it on and they clear all the pipes etc. Thats what I had many moons ago.
