    How to determine correct size pump/motor for spa jets?

    Is it just the one jet that you're getting air to, with the other three getting none? Or does one of the jets bubble excessively while the other 3 function normally? If it's the former - You likely don't have enough water going to the jets for the air to mix in with, causing all of the air to...

    Leaking Blower

    They're most likely correct about the 3/8" eyeballs causing the water to leak out of the blower. If the jets are too restrictive and / or the water pump is too powerful, the water will seek the easiest route which is back into the air line. If you want to test if this theory is correct, you can...

    Spa Trouble after Renovation

    I know I'm a bit late here, but everything that you have described points to issues with the jets. The fact that water comes gushing out of your venturi pipe when it's in spa mode is a strong indication that something is wrong with your jets. And the fact that this issue started happening right...

    Cyclone blower differences????

    There are a few differences between the different models over the years, but that is irrelevant in this situation. The online vendors don't update their listings very often, hence you see some with different part numbers / different pictures etc. The 4128100P is the most recent revision of the...

    Closing difficulties with cartridge filter and pool level above equipment

    I'm a bit late here, but I figured I'd answer just in case you or others were still wondering about the answer to this question! The most important factor when winterizing your pool is the pressure of the blower/compressor. Having a high CFM is good, but it only matters if the blower can make...

    Spa Blower Help needed -pics attached!

    Your jets are too restrictive, change out your jets for ones that allow for more water & air flow. The fact that everything runs fine before you put in the last few jet assemblies indicates that the jets are too restrictive and eventually when enough of them are in place, water begins to back up...

    Help, Spa blower Mystery

    That's pretty surprising that the blower shut off entirely by itself. I would follow the above advice and make sure the check valve is working properly and isn't stuck shut or something. Depending on which blower you have, it could be installed right below the blower or it could be built in...

    2 Issues Blower and Pump

    In response to the blower: the fact that the blower started to overheat after your pool was remodeled leads me to believe something they changed is causing the problem. Did they change out the jets, or remove them and reassemble them later? Did they change out the water pump or change the speed...

    Help, Spa blower Mystery

    Yes exactly, if you get bubbles in the spa when the blower is the ONLY thing running, then this means the blower works and you have no blockages in your line. The blockage occurs when you turn the water pump on, either because the pump is too powerful or the jets are assembled incorrectly...

    Help, Spa blower Mystery

    Hi, Not sure if you resolved this issue or not, but it sounds like the jets were reassembled incorrectly or may be missing pieces. If the jest are assembled incorrectly and/or missing pieces, it allows water to back up into the air line and blocks off any air from making it to the spa. This is...

    SPA Air Blower Blown?

    Try running the blower by itself without the water pump running. If the blower doesn't overheat when running by itself then the blower itself is fine. If you have a variable speed pump, try turning the speed down a bit as this helps reduce back pressure on the blower. Make sure all the jets...
