    Power aluminum patio cover from pool panel?

    Spa jet nozzles

    OK eyeballs then. I did pull the nozzle you pictured out of one jet because it had a rock stuck in it. I see some of these eyeballs that have a 1/2 and 3/4 opening but concerned will they weaken the end result and do they effectively change the flow direction. Also, I see "1-1/2 Inch MIP...
