Brand new pool, first time pool owner, PB never finished fine details of job and is MIA. In ground pool with elevated spa that waterfalls into pool. Spa jets have 2” lines for 6 jets and no blower, they have two air vents with caps at coping of spa. I have no pics of plumbing to know if they did a Hartford loop. Variable speed pump.
Before spa nozzles were installed, spa mode and pump in high speed, water wouldn’t back flow through air vents and no air without nozzles. PB installed nozzles and now the water back flows and spills out of vents and still has no air. I’ve tried running pump at lower speed and blowing air into vent by mouth and no dice. I can try a shop vac if that might help but I’m not sure if that’s the problem. I’m pretty sure there’s no clog because I remember running the spa jets with no nozzle and no eye jets right after plaster was done and before he installed nozzle and eye jet. I was reading other forum posts, I might try to remove the eye and leave the nozzle to see if that stops the back flow problem at vent but I’m not sure whether that will create air/bubbles.
If the pump speed is too high, I don’t know how to fix that even with the variable speed because every time I go to spa mode, pump will shut down, valve turns, and pump primes at full speed which would blow water out the vent even if I reduce the setting at which spa mode will run at.
Any thoughts?
