Just bought a house with an air-jet tub. The motor on the tub keeps turning on by itself.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Sure, it's automatic. My friend has one of those and it scares him every once in a while by turning on. It also comes on 20 minutes after a bath. Why? To purge the jets of standing water. The idea is to keep water out and prevent the lines from stagnating. Pretty smart huh? BTW air jets are good in my book, more so than water jets. Quieter ;)
