    Help! Air blower only works in pool mode, not spa

    Just as title says. If equipment is in pool mode & you turn on air blower bubbles come out. switch it to spa mode, turn on blower and nothing. mold blower died a year or so ago, this one is a brand new 2hp. Any ideas?

    Help! Air blower only works in pool mode, not spa

    If I turn the blower on in pool mode bubbles come out the spa just as they should. if it’s in spa mode (when you would want bubbles) they don’t come out. it was suggested I replace the 3 spinning massage jets with regular ones as it could be a restriction issue and the air can’t make it...

    Water comes out blower when in spa mode

    That was done after the issue was happening. Jets were removed and checked for blockages. Now, having said that, something might be broke from when they chipped out the old plaster during demo

    It’s not a new install though. It’s been there since the pool was installed in 2005. Didn’t become an issue until after replaster.

    Water comes out blower when in spa mode

    So just went to make sure check valve was correct and then I removed the blower to look in the pipe. There is a chunk of mulch in there, no idea how, but when I turned the spa on, it was fine, no issue. Wth? Could it be that the blower is old and not making enough pressure to force air...

    Water comes out blower when in spa mode

    Sorry, I should’ve said, when the problem first happened it was suggested to look for a blockage. I took the jets off and put a long screw driver in them, while the spa was drained. Never found anything. Originally the spa had 3 massage deluxe jets and 3 regular. I replaced with all...

    Water comes out blower when in spa mode

    Before I put the jets on I stuck a long metal rod into the jets and didn’t find anything....but doesn’t mean there isn’t still a restriction. Here are 2 links to videos I recorded this morning. 1 of the jets/fittings (sorry for the glare) and one of the water coming out the blower. July 10...

    Water comes out blower when in spa mode

    Thanks for the replies everyone! I removed all the jets, using a pair of pliers because I couldn’t get them by hand. Soon as I did that, all was well again, so clearly the jets must’ve been closed causing back pressure. Not sure the valves are all set correctly, as they still don’t seem to...

    HELP! Check valve issues....

    Background: Bought house 4.5yrs ago, pool had bad plaster at the time but not leaking so just dealt with it. Also, every night, the spa water level would drop to the pool level when equipment was off. Just figured it needed a check valve but since plaster was bad I never cared. Now we’ve had...
