No bubble out from the spa jet

[Paxcou]

I have 3 jets on the steps on one side of the pool that are usually making bubble.

The water pressure is good and I turn on what seems to regulate the spa Jets (see picture).

I have seen similar question but with the system I have I am not sure how I can apply some fix I have seen.

Whee the air is coming from would be my first question as it could help me to find the source of the problem?

What should I do next to get back my nice little bubbles in my pool ?

Thanks !

If you do not have an air blower then you should have an open pvc pipe somewhere that is the air intake for your jets. You need to locate that and see if it has been blocked by shrubs or insects or something.

Post pics of your equipment pad for us to help you look.

On the picture I took do you think the air is coming from the on/off button I can turn back and forth ? I will try to find where the air may come from. Thanks !

Yes, the knob is your air control. This must be open or on to get bubbles.

Also, the nozzle inside the jet is probably adjustable by turning the end. Make sure these are open and you have good water flow.

Thanks do you know if this button can be removed to check if there are debris inside ?

Some unscrew, others snap in. Those can be tricky to get out without breaking the top or the valve plunger.
Just check flow at the jets first. Those nozzles are removed for winterization and can be easily closed when reinstalled. If the flow is low or off on one it can push water back through the air line and stop the bubbles on all of them. You do not want to break the air control when all you needed was to open a nozzle.

Did the bubbles ever work with the new one?

No I just change them but it's the exact same model.

Do you have the old one you can put back in?

New control or the way it was installed may be your problem.
