New pool owner - first season,
trying to figure out how to position my return jets. 16X32 sports pool with 2 main drains, 1 skimmer and 2 returns. Outlined below roughly for positioning. Skimmer slightly more on steps side as opposed to half way. Two drains in the middle of the pool as deepest section.

What direction would you suggest I angle the returns for water flow? Clockwise vs counter clockwise. Should I just accept dead zone for the steps and be vigilant about manually brushing every few days? Should the return jets be pointed downwards? Currently they are angled in a way that I can see some ripples on the top of the water surface from the jets.
thanks
