I have a whirlpool tub (jets, etc.) that is only two years old and has only been used 3 to 4 times. The last time it was used the tub leaked onto the first floor ceiling and wall.
I have determined through trial and error that the leaking only occurs while the tub is draining. I ran the water without using the stopper and nothing happened. So it seems that the water pressure from the draining tub is the factor causing the leak.
There is no access to the draining plumbing only to motor of the whirlpool. The drain sits in the middle of the tub.
I would appreciate anyones wisdom as to what may be causing this and approaches to repairing said leak. Sincerely!
