is it possible that even with the cleaner connected and the booster pump off that there would be head loss?

I am not sure I know how to remove a jet? I will try running the spa and C Checking for equal pressure.

spa has 2" send and return. at the spa, the return is looped to 8 wall jets. Not sure of the type of jets, but they are very standard. I know that doesn't help, but thats all i know. The eyeball fittings have about a half inch opening. The check valve appears to be all the way open when in spa...

The valve for the spa has an actuator on it. It has 2 positions, 75/25 or 100% spa. I can use the switch to adjust it anywhere in between, but not all the way to 100% pool. Pump speed max (3450rpm) With valve at 75/25 position, 23psi at filter with valve at 100% spa, 30psi at filter Pump...

Wall returns with eyeballs. Salt cell was not yet installed when problem started. Booster pump not running Check valve is pentair. Not sure about model number. 2" Return valve was in same position. Although I moved it to 50/50 and it made no difference.

ok, here is the status.... With the filter bypassed, it takes 1750rpm to see a tiny bit of circulation to the spa. With the filter in line, it takes 2050rpm to see a tiny bit of circulation in the spa. Originally, with the filter inline, I could get decent circulation in the spa at 1500rpm.

Yes....however, I am sure that plaster dust had accumulated in the filter. So I backwashed to make absolutely sure that the filter was allowing maximum flow. I am going to go out right now and put the multiport valve in bypass to see if it flows properly with no filter in-line......will post...

So......Brand new pool (see spec's in signature).....When first filled with water, and in regular pool circulation mode, (return valve set at 75%pool and 25%spa) I could set the intelliflo to 1500rpm and water would push through both the pool, and the spa. The spa has an overflow that goes down...

Thank you for all of the info. I will post back when I find a solution.....

In the picture i posted previously, if you look closely, the main drain, and the water return to jets are both at the rear of the spa. It is hard to see that there are 2 lines there, but they are right on top of each other. Off to the side of the spa is the air line. By pieving together many...

I think the fact that having only the spa in the picture has confused things.... Here is a picture of the whole thing. [attachment=0:2teow6yg]1.jpg[/attachment:2teow6yg] I dont have a clear enough picture, but there is (1) 2" line from blower to spa. (1) 2" line from output of...

I have asked my builder what type of jets they are. Hopefully I will have more info soon. Is it possible that he didn't put "jets" in at all. When we turn the blower on, we just get giant blobs of air coming out. There is no "stream" of aerated water like you would expect...

The pressure is about 28psi with motor at full speed in spa mode. Should i be able to see or touch the internal part of the spa jet? I took the eyeball fitting off of one of them and stuck my finger as far in as I could and there is nothing in there??? I know that it is not a direct comparison...

I apologize for not including enough information.... The pump is an intelliflo 3HP Control is an easytouch 8 Heater is Sta-Rite max-E therm 400K DE-filter. Plumbing is all 2 inch, send and return. Air line is 2 inch. Equipment is about 14feet from the spa. I just tried removing the blower...

New pool and spa. Intelliflo 3HP pump. When in spa mode and intelliflo on highest RPM, the 8 jets in the spa are not very strong. The heater has a bypass built into it, so I don't think that is the obstruction. Also, in a pool we previously owned, we always had air coming from the spa jets...

Thank you for the explanation......makes sense to me, I'll ask my builder what he does.

I read in another post from a PB that he always "Loops" his returns.......What does that mean???

The windows are amazingly resistant to heat gain and without being tinted dark. This house has exceeded our expectations for efficiency even with the middle of the road AC system. We went from a smaller home with $500/month electric bills to a 1200 sq/ft larger home with more windows....now our...

Our pool builder recommended them. Not sure of the brand, but they are made of a high quality stainless steel that wont corrode in a properly balanced salt pool. The seat is a THICK HEAVY plastic. Not flimsy or cheap at all. They are removable from a sleeve in the pool floor. If we did the...

We are hyper aware of the views from the windows. Just past the pool is a salt water canal that leads out to galveston bay. We moved here specifically for the views to the water. Our pool designer was very good about making sure all the elevations enhanced the views instead of blocking them...

Good points. The area that you suggest a railing has already been addressed. The countertop right there is going to stop instead of making the turn away from the pool. A planter will take its place to serve as a barrier for the danger zone. Also, the lower left patio is being completely...

Here is a drawing and picture of a pool we are building. The pool builder is doing the BBQ Island as well, but it is up to us to decide on the layout. We will have a Luxor 42" grill, Luxor dual side burner, Danby fridge, Fire magic Ice maker, One double door 42" cabinet front, and a pull out...
