We have a jacuzzi that was installed in the late 80's. There is some kind of little L-shaped chrome standpipe thingy that on the wall next to it (its either a backflow restrictor, so that tub water is not sucked back into the water supply. Or it's an air supply to the jets. Not sure which????). This has apparently gotten crudded up a little because we have well water, and now if the tub faucet is not completely shut, the chrome pipe thing starts dripping. My question is, when the jacuzzi tub faucets are completely shut off, is that chrome piping on the wall under pressure, or not, ....such that I can dissassemble, clean, or rebuilt it. (I know I can shut off the water supply to the tub, or power off the well, etc, ...but why if I don't have to. And I've been curiious about the pressure question in that chrome piping under "faucet off" conditions anyway). Thanks
