    Zzblackjack,

    What all fixtures do you have in your bathroom? Is it just a toilet and jacuzzi? You don't have a floor drain in the bathroom do you? Keep me posted.

    How often do you use the jacuzzi tub ?

    From my experience, 90% of people don't use jacuzzi to often. It is there because house "requires" it for re-selling purposes. If you don't use the but often, than water in trap evaporates and eventually will allow sewer gas to enter your bathroom.
