I assume that the jets are not supposed to leak, but there is some check valve on the venturi that fails after some time. What is the possibility of replacing the jet bodies? The spa is plaster/gunite inside and is, for the most part, below a concrete patio (top is level with patio level). We...

My solution is to install a valve at the low point so I will only have the system open if there is a jet problem (seems to be a slow leak). With the valve closed, this will be no different than the original system. The problem with the Hartford loop is that the spa is 12" higher than any of...

Re: Problem with spa jets - follow up and solution I thought more about this problem and finally found the issue. My spa is located at a level above the pool and the pool is located above the ground/pump (the pool is built into an upslope property). Since the shopvac could get the system to...

Could you recommend a particular blower make and model?

I did several things this weekend and the system works, kind of. Things were not done as systematically as I would have liked, so there may be many false leads in this. I started by hooking up my vacuum (blower) to the air intake pipe (eyeballs removed). This worked. The jets started making...

From what I can tell, the pump draws no air. The strainer basket window is full of water. Note that the pump is actually below the level of the pool by about 1'.

I checked the pressure gauge on the filter and it is reading ~21 psi at full speed. Does this indicate that the filter needs cleaning?

I will give the blower idea a try this weekend. The water flow in the jets seems pretty strong. I expect the blower will work, but shouldn't the system work as is? Since the jets work when they can flow freely (no eyeball, shooting into air) it tells me either the flow rate is not high...

I did not try it with the old pump (unfortunately). My guess is it probably worked the same as now, but I am not sure. The pump goes through both the filter (a Pentair cartridge unit) and a new Jandy Legacy heater. Not sure about the filter pressure, I will check it the next chance I get...

It is turned up to 3450 rpm

I recently purchased a new house with an inground spa/pool. I just had the single speed pump replaced with a Jandy VS FloPro 2hp. We used the spa for the first time and the jets did not draw air/make bubbles. I drained the spa and pulled off the eyeballs and the jets worked (the pump is...
