How do I turn the jets off on this outdoor hot tub?

Question

I'm housesitting in Newport Coast and there is a built in, outdoor hot tub..

I turned it on ten hours ago by pressing a small white button in side the tub but I can't turn it off. I tried pressing the button several times earlier today but it is still on!

aghhh.

I rather not bother calling the house owner. Also, I would like to messing with the outlets or turn the tub completely off. (just the jets)

Answer 1

Unplug it and plug it back in.

Thats silly to just turn off the jets. It costs money to just let it run.  Its bad on the motor too.  If the motor burns out, you'll have a lot of explaining to do.  A new motor costs big money.

A hot tub isnt design to just run non stop indefinitely.

Answer 2

By law there is suppose to be a cut off or breaker panel near by. Just open it and flip the breaker off.

Answer 3

Your immediate solution is to flip the breaker to it off or take out the "quick disconnect".  Since the tub is built in there will be no plug as one suggested.

A common problem for that white air switch button that turns the pump on and off is for the tube that is behind the button to have slipped off it's nipple.  IF you can remove or look under the button it would be great to make sure the air hose is still attacked to the button.  Otherwise the tech needs to look at where the hose is attached to the air switch on the pack and verify it is attached.  If it is next you need to replace the inexpensive($15) air switch.  All of this is very easy to do.  

Answer 4

Look for more buttons.

If you unplug it, it will get cold.
