Bubblers

[Frank in FL]

I currently have 2 of these bubblers on my shelf. Is it possible to swap out the bubbler cover for a different one in order to possibly gain more height?

I imagine that cover will just unscrew out of a standard pipe thread. Perhaps you can then add something with a nozzle?

Or you need to force more water to them by shutting off other return jets some.

Yes, the pipe thread is 1.5" and those covers do unscrew. What do you mean add something with a nozzle?
I dont have a valve to turn off or minimize the water that comes out of the return jets. I would think if I did, then these bubblers would definitely bubble lol

How are the bubblers plumbed? Seems like there should be a way to control the amount of flow to them.
That might be a better path forward than putting an eyeball fitting our something in the floor.

They have their own valve near the pump.

What kind of valve? And is there not a valve on the normal returns at all?
... all this would be a lot faster if you posted a picture

Third black one from the right..

If you start to close the 2 black valves on the right do the bubblers get bigger? You might want to add a valve on the main return line.
