House Project: Jetted Tub Problem Was Just a Matter of Instructions

I mentioned a few days ago that some of the jets on the jetted tub weren't working. After a bit of discussion, the problem turned out to be that while the little dials around the top of the tub control the total flow of water through these jets, pushing in on the jets turns off the flow completely, and pulling out on them turns on the flow. This is a binary decision: flow, or no flow. This also explains why one of the jets that had been working, stopped working--presumably because I ran into it, and pushed it in.

Anyway, I happy to report that everything is working. My wife, who at first thought this was something of an extravagance, reports that the jets do wonders for her aching hip muscles. Men: be glad that you don't have babies.
