Answer 1

You have a type of algae in the pump lines. This happens when you don't use the tub often. Home Depot sells a powder ( don't remember the name ) for cleaning the crud out. You can tell someone in the plumbing dept. what your problem is and they will show you the product. About $ 7 if I remember correctly. It works very well.
