Think of the air switch button as the brain behind your tub’s jets. Press it, and air pressure travels through a tube to turn the pump on. Press it again, and it shuts off. Simple, right? Don’t underestimate it just because it’s compact. Without it, your whirlpool jetted tub parts, like the pump and jets, can’t do their thing. Kohler Jacuzzi tub parts are built to last, but even the toughest parts can wear down. The air switch button is often the first to show trouble because it gets a lot of use.
