Hot Tub Water Garden

10 years ago

I want to make a fish pond/water garden out of my old Jacuzzi hot tub. I am trying to find a way to seal all of the jet holes and was wondering if anyone had any advice. I tried to message one of the members who posted a picture of one he/she did but it got rejected, so unsure if they are still a member here or not. Any help/advice sure would be appreciated. Thanks.

Isn't there a way to buy covers for them?
P.S......I just did a search for "hot to plug up hot tub jets" and got a number of hits. I'm not sure what your jets look like, but do a google search and I'm sure you can find "official" plugs, or other homemade ideas. Good luck!

why do you need to cover them? They're part of a more or less sealed system and don't let the water out, right?

sounds like a great idea; wish I'd thought of that with my old hot tub!
