How to clean a bath with massage holes / not jets?

Hi guys! I have just moved in to a shared house and it has a jacuzzi / spa bath. It looks just like a normal bath tub but there are over 100 little tiny holes only a few millimetres in diametre, in circular patterns on the bottom. What type of bath is this? Also, i tried cleaning it and have used every limescale product on the market, but nothing can unblock the holes as they are so small. I have tried sanitiser, and dishwasher tablets, but nothing seems to be working. Some of the little holes are partially unblocked but the flow of water is poor. I don't have the make or model of the bath to ask the manufacturer? Any ideas on how i would resolve this? I forgot to add, that warm water comes out of the holes. I don't think it recirculates the water in the tub?? The holes are only big enough to fit a cocktail stick in. I tried this and it sorted a few of the blockages but not all. This spa has never been used so i think it years of dirt build up.

1. Hi there, you need to use salt, fill bath with water switch on and add salt, i leave mine to run for about 15min's, if there are a lot of black bit's you will need to do it again till no black bit's come out of jet's, i do mine every 3month's. Good Luck.
2. Have you tried a Q-tip... or a big sewing needle.
3. You are going to laugh when I tell you this - I actually used Alka-Seltzer to clean it. The phizzing action gets in the small holes and it works like a baking powder and salt cleaner. Good luck
