Hi,
I have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer for. With adjustable spa jets, when turning them to "off" will blower air still come right out of them?
My very new plaster spa has 6 jets. It is driven a 1.5HP Pentair VS pump (~2700RPM) and a 1.5HP blower. We get a crazy amount of bubbles, lots of small foam on top of the water. But also big huge bursting air bubbles (no foam) right by the outlets. When I turn a jet off (turning the adjustable part clockwise) the water stops or slows to a trickle but the big air seems to grow even more intense out of the off jet. Basically I'm trying to figure out if everything is working as expected with these or if there is something I (or my PB) should do. If this is all working exactly as expected, is there any advice on how to dial back the intensity and get it under control? Just a smaller blower? The blower is 2 rooms away but right above the spa is 72dB with the blower and ~36dB without. Just looking for some middle ground here.
I have Waterways or waterways compatible fittings. The PB put in 210-6040s and I was able to try various others in the same family (roto/pulsator/etc, e.g. 210-6070, 210-6090, 210-6080, 210-6700) using a poly jet wrench. I am completely unable to loosen any of the wallfitting parts so they might be glued in, so I can't really say if the 1" tube is there or has the right retaining rings or teflon tape.
Thanks!
