Spa Troubles

[ahood81]

The air from the spa is pushing water over and out of the spa. Is there any way to remedy this? Are there different jet heads that can be used to push the air out farther?

In my hot tub it does that if the water is too low. I would suggest adding a couple more inches of water and see if that fixes it.

Welcome to TFP I see this is your first post.

Thanks for the welcome.

The video I linked to is the spa completely full. So no more water could be added.

Is the pump on and set to spa return, Looks like all that is on is the blower

Yes pump is on and moving water

What does the spa look like with the blower off, do the jets pull air in from the blower? Can you take pictures of the equipment area

Spa looks normal with the blower off. Just some ripples in the water.

Give us some history. Is this a new spa? Did the air bubbles ever work normally? When did the problem start?

Show us pics of the jets air comes out of. How many jets are there? Are the jets adjustable to change which way they are pointed?

What speed is the pump set on to run the spa jets, in your video it sure looks like the jets are not producing enough flow

New spa about 2 months old.

It has always worked in this fashion.

Will get my GoPro later and take pics under water.

Yes jets are a ball head and can be adjusted. I have tried adjusting them in a different positions.

speed is set at 2500 rpm

Have you spoken with your builder about this?

It looks like you have too little water flow or too much air flow. Something is out of balance.

What HP is your Air Blower?

While in spa mode try ramping up the rpm to 2900-3000 rpm. Do it slowly and watch the pressure on the filter, and keep checking the jets for increased flow
