Does anyone know of any professionals in the area who could convert a jacuzzi tub to a soaker tub?

The tub is large and would be great if it weren’t teeming with bacteria. Cleaning it doesn’t last long since there’s standing water hanging out in the system any time it’s not being used. I’ve seen DIYers do this online. They seal the jet openings/pipes and disconnect the power. I’ve called a few places, but no luck so far. Hoping to find a professional before I consider either doing it myself or forking over the cash to replace it.

I'm a pool guy of 20+ years that's started dabbling in hot tubs since moving to Springfield. I kinda feel like this would be a piece of cake for me. Anyway you could PM me some pics so I can get an idea of what's needed?

Why not replace the jacuzzi with a nice soaker tub?

I ask because I'm redoing my master bath this spring and this is my plan. Rip and replace. Seems easy enough.

Did this and other things as well. It definitely helped. I’ve gotten it clean several times, but any time you don’t run it for a certain amount of time the sludge comes right back. I don’t want to have to maintain a tub in that way. Even with frequent use the water would be contaminated with days old water. I don’t even really enjoy the jets, and after scrubbing all that seaweed lookin’ stuff so many times I don’t think I could ever be comfortable bathing in it the way it is. Definitely not worth it to me to try and keep it.
