American Standard Cadet Ever Clean 72 in. x 42 in. Acrylic Whirlpool Tub in White

Problems with one of the jets.

I have had this for several years, and no big problems as of yet (I hope I did not jinx myself). I am online today because the rotary dial tub stopper has always been a bit lacking - not lifting high enough, especially with the weight of water on it, so today I took it apart, adjusted the pivot hole setting and reinstalled. I was glad to find this serviceable from the topside-although I do not like it's design. I started hearing sounds like a bearing in the pump motor almost immediately - and routinely spray the shaft with WD40 - still not sure if it is a bearing sound, although the spray does quiet it - so that is worrisome. I bought the tile bead kit - but forgot to install it when I dropped the tub in (dummy), and bought the heater, but I have not installed it. I used a whole house Rheem 9.8 GPM tankless hot water heater dedicated to this tub, so I have more than enough HOT water. I just drain and refill a bit to keep it hot. Someday I may install the heater - I ran the electric -- I just haven't needed it yet. This model only has 8 jets, so you can not really get a message on specific areas, but it does make a tub of churning water. As another reviewer mentioned - the jets tend to spray all over if you are not careful to keep you body on them like a shield.
