I would assume they mean jets with very small openings where the water comes out. Since the leak sealer will plug a leak, it would also have the same effect on a jet with a small hole. The leak sealer can't tell the difference between a pinhole in a line somewhere and a jet with a very small...

Thanks for the info Chris. I am now following the sticky instructions for the level of FC/CYA and measuring FC usage after each use to establish the FC demand. I was just surprised at how different the advice was from the company who supplied the spa, compared to what I have learned and...
