How do I plug the jet holes of a whirlpool tub?
I have had this tub for a good 10years now, but only used the jets twice...too noisy. I used the turn on the whirlpool every 2 weeks to clean out when my daughter lived at home and used the tub with bathtub salts, oils, bubbles, etc but since she left home, I did not start it and the motor seized. Instead of replacing the tub, i know it would be a lot cheaper just to plug the holes.

Boy, you’d think someone would make little hole covers. Do you really need to plug them? I’m sure you can use the tub without worry.
One of the dangers of not cleaning through the jets regularly is Legionella. I used to work at a day centre where we had a fancy bath tub installed with hydrotherapy/spa as one of the "benefits". Trouble is, anyone using it had to get the all clear from their GP. The manufacturers gave us a set of bungs so we didn't have to clean out the system every day - downside was, you'd injure yourself on the bungs.
The bungs appeared to be a simple stopper like a wine saver device, insert the stopper, flip the stainless steel lever which pulls the bottom of the stopper upwards, expending the silicone rings to create a tight fit.
There's plenty of other alternatives worth trying.
