This is the next installment of my newbie pool owner questions. I recently purchased a home with and IG pool and attached spa with spillover. When I first started using the spa, in spa mode, none of the jets emitted bubbles. After several uses (days) one of the jets started emitting a small amount of bubbles.
So I read here about trying to unclog the venturi and I did that by using both a shop vac and an air compressor into the air intake pipe above ground.
That seemed to really fix the one sputtering jet but none of the other jets is bubbling.
A couple of pros have seen this and one said that all the jets should be bubbling and the other said that maybe the original builder only put in one bubbling jet and used a variety of other jet types presumably so there would be some variety for various peoples' preferences.
So how can I determine whether or not the various jets should be bubbling or not?
There are several types of jets, some with 2 holes that rotate (massaging?), some with one hole that is positionable but doesn't rotate, some with one hole that do rotate on their own. The one bubbling jet is one hole and rotates on it's own.
I've also tried adjusting the outer control ring to change the pressure on them without any more bubbles.
Thanks for your help!
