Why does my jacuzzi not turn on when I push the button?
When you push the button the air pocket in the tube pushes the switch to turn the motor on. The tube has either cracked or fallen off of one end. Hopefully it is the motor end which should have an access panel to get to the motor. That may be in the next room over or closet.
