*Update* Found out my PB did not install venturi style jets in the hot tub (special jets with a separate air line at pump skid that pulls air in while in spa mode to give the water the 'blender' effect)- I didn't even know this was something that wasn't an option when building. I guess I'll...

Hey Mike, I'm in Cypress also and just put a new pool in our new house in Bridgeland. Luckily I had been a TFP follower prior to this build and installed a saltwater chlorine generator from the get-go. First thing is first, order a TF-100 test kit and only use Leslie's for pool floats and...

KADavis, normally I should know that number but right now it's escaping me - I will check it out when I get home this afternoon. One thing the pool builder tried to say was that we had to many returns (9) in the hot tub and this was the cause. Of course, he was the one who suggested the 2...

Yes sir, 100% of the flow is going to the spa when in spa mode. I can confirm the pump is at full rpm's (3,750) and the 2 automatic valves switch to 'spa mode' (from spa on the suction side and full spa on the discharge). I have also personally gone to each of the pool returns a felt for flow...

Removing the jet inserts were the first thing we did when we started troubleshooting. I do not know the brand but these are what the inserts look like. He did call them T-jets. Removing them only barely increased the flow, but no 'diffusing' of the water. The PB claims that Pentair told him...

Yeah, my fear - as they're buried inside the gunite. Thank you.

Lots of views but minimal replies. I do appreciate mknauss' input though. Has anyone every experienced this or am I just a one-off? Maybe it needs to go into a different folder for better exposure?

Yes, I agree there and I did the same (removed the little insert that is in there jet) to no avail. I didn't even want the blower at all, just the regular 'jetted' action is all I want but the PB thought the blower would fix the issues. I will give your suggestion a shot though and any and...

Thank you for the reply. The equipment is less than 50' away - certainly less than my previous hot tub build in 2015 (where hot tub worked flawlessly), and the hot tub is in between the pool and the equipment (closer to pump). The spa jet internals weren't worked on post install (just eyeballs...

Wondering if having a booster pump in line to the hot tub would have any effect on the spa returns. PB installed a blower but it doesn't work when in 'spa mode' (not enough force to blow through all spa returns). Blower is 1.5 HP trying to overcome a 3 HP main pump.

Okay, so here’s my dilemma. I’ve had my new pool finished for a couple of months and since it was commissioned, I’ve had an issue with very low flow / pressure from the hot tub returns (not jetted air/water blowing- just typical pool return type flow). Both the pool and the hot tub are...
