    Pool companies pointing pool jets up when they open

    Pools in question are for my clients upon opening. One pool is a 40k gallon rectangular pool and the other is a tad smaller oval. Both have deep ends and two return jets. These pools are opened by pool store and they always leave jets up. I always turn them back down when I start my pool...

    Pool companies pointing pool jets up when they open

    With jets pointed up It takes longer for skimming because of the greater movement of the water. With jets angled downward not only does it help with circulation but it also helps to keep debris from settling on the bottom and on surfaces and allows dirt and debris to move into the skimmer for...

    Pool companies pointing pool jets up when they open

    I have always understood that it is best to angle the jets downward for better circulation and turnover. And that when you point the jets up it causes more evaporation, uses up chemicals faster, and requires more time for skimming.

    Pool companies pointing pool jets up when they open

    I have noticed this on three of my clients pools. The pool company opens the pool and always turns jets up. I turn them down and when they come back they turn them up again. PH is good so no need to aerate. Wondering if anyone knows why they do this? Consensus always seems to keep them angled...

    Green pool clean up water color stages ~ photos

    This pool had been siting for 3 years due to foreclosure. The investor had spent hundreds at pool store and make no progress. Thankfully for them the sand filter was still in great shape and just needed some TFP love. You should have seen their faces when I arrived with my noodle and sock for...

    Hi all! I feel like I had come across photos showing the different water color changes during green pool clean up but couldn’t find them. Thought we could start a thread. Please post your pics and timeline if possible.
