    Inground Spa Venturi(s) Not Working Well After Renovation - HELP

    Inground Spa Venturi(s) Not Working Well After Renovation - HELP

    That makes sense Mark. Is there anything we can do to optimize the plumbing setup better? I did buy a new Pentair SuperFlo 340042 SF N2 1A 230V pump that is not in use. That wouldn't help to add that pump in to change the plumbing I assume. I did a little searching and didn't find the 5/16"...

    Inground Spa Venturi(s) Not Working Well After Renovation - HELP

    Hi Mark, The jets worked okay in the past with a both water mixed with venturi air bubbles. We never used the spa with the air valve turned off, so it is hard to compare the old and new water flow. Now we only have minor air mixed on 3 of the jets (2 on the left side and 1 on the right side)...

    Question about pebble replastering

    Hope someone can help me with a question that has come up with our 20 year old pool renovation. It has been an extremely drawn out process. If we didn't stand to loose thousands of dollars we would fire our current renovation company, but we are too far into it. At this point I don't know if...
