Home was built in 1924. Newer whirlpool tub that is not properly GFCI protected.

I see a large amount of whirlpool tubes that discharge a lovely amount of black debris.

What is a good product to clean the whirlpool jets?

My main question is it looks like they capped the vent & this looks like a good location for a air admittance valve.

How would you call this drainage system.

I didnt see a trap even though there may be one. The tub drain somewaht slowly.

Thanks
