IG pool with spa on the side. The motor seem to pull the water from the spa but dose not shoot out like it use to . Could this be the motor ? I have 2 intake at the bottom of the spa one that shoots the water from the heater works good but the other has not much suction but enough to dribble some water out. The blower works fine. When I turn the blower off you can feel little water flow coming out. Any help with matter!
Spa jets have no power like it use to?

Welcome to TFP!
Maybe the filter is clogged and needs cleaning? What is your clean filter pressure? And current filter pressure?

The jets do not run through the filter that has a pressure gage, just the basket attached to the pump .
There is one that is hooked in line with the filter and heater that dose come out into the spa. This one is fine. The jets which there are 4 are the ones that suddenly now are dribbling out with no pressure.

Are those jets run off a separate pump? Is the pump making unusual noise?
Either the impeller is damaged or broken or there is something stuck in the spa jets.

Yes jets do run on a separate pump, no unusual noises are coming out of the pump.
I had maple tree helicopters get in my spa jets this spring when I opened the pool. I wasn't also getting any bubbles from the air intakes because of it.
Take the jets out and make sure there isn't debris lodged behind them. We've seen that happen before.
There was a post that the bezel might be broken would that not shoot the water ?

If the impeller is plugged or damaged, the pump will reduce flow rate. Your jets will not be as strong as they should. Clogged spa jets, same thing.

Thanks for that information I got it working I do believe it was the impeller stuck , I ran a hose full blast into the pump motor and got it loss some how ! I put the lid back on the pump and it pulled the water in with more force the flow rate increased a lot. Turn the blowers back on and I was back! Sweet! I thought I was going to have to buy a new motor. I hope this was just a one time issue with this! Thanks again
