Never owned a round pool but it would seem to me that ya need to point it to get a counterclockwise flow to get the leaves/debris into the skimmer before they sink to the bottom. I adjusted my inground jets to maximize this and its working great. Less leaves/debris to fish out the better.
We have these to adjust the direction....

Well that's the thing.. Mine doesn't seem to turn, nor have a device like yours that allows it to turn..
Exactly,,,,,
Sometimes mine get a bit stuck. I >> carefully << use a 1/2 inch wood dowel rod about 3 inches long to convince it of the direction i desire. Now if I could get one for inside the house.
If ya point it up towards the surface as far as she will go, tighten up the locking ring and bingo, ya got a po boy water feature.lol
Mine is ghetto. I tried the eyeball when I put "real" fittings in my intex but it was too restricting so I grabbed a threaded 1.5 inch pvc elbow I had left over from my project and screwed that in instead of the eyeball. Voila! Instant whirlpool! lol
These work well on my pool, but then I run my pump at low RPM.

Thought about doing something like your ghetto jet system.lol,,, with a T or 4 way, cap and valve off to adjust for a sprinkler & reg flow water jet. Just another pipe dream.lol
The ring seems to be the entire piece!! There is just one piece it seems.. If I loosen "it" that is all there is!!
Stop the pump and completely unscrew it (take out the eyeball). See if it comes apart. It's harder to do this if the pump is running.
The part to unscrew is the ring the arrow is pointing at. Not the one against the pool, but the next tier.

Ok so if it unscrews then what? There's not another piece in there. Thanks

The somewhat spherical part with a hole in it should separate from the ring you unscrew. I'll go get one of mine and post some pictures. If it doesn't, you can order the type you need from Amazon (or whoever you want to buy from).
Sweet thanks a lot! So May I need to take some pliers to get that thing loose? I tried with my hand and it wasn't budging..
EDIT TO ADD: Do you agree that my flow (as seen in the video) should not be going that way?

Try shutting the pump off first then you should be able to loosen it.

If the pump is off and you still can't turn it by hand to tilt or remove, it sounds stuck!
You need to circulate the pool, yes.

I have a couple of nozzles that are a fixed direction. And some with adjustable eyeballs. He may have the non adjustable type.
So I must admit I'm not the strongest person in the world.. But I also think I'm not the weakest... I turned the pump off and I cannot get that thing to budge!!!!!
Pliers? Then I'm afraid I'm gonna scratch or break something..
