can i do a bubbler on 12'' water level on the baja shelf. in the middle of construction. if it's a choice, would you recommend bubbler vs deck jets?

[rash]

hi- my pool is digging today, and now getting cold feet. but my baja is 12' of water, can i still get a bubbler? what is the raised nozzle? should i ask them to plumb for it anyways and i can figure thisout later?

i saw some older posts - which mentioned some extenders can be used to make it work on the 12' water level baja shelf.

I’m guessing you mean 12”, but I would think 12” water depth is just fine-the bubbler below seems to push streams up to 30” and for placement at 4-12” below surface

I have a 12" water depth shelf and have two bubblers on the shelf. I do not get much height on the "crest of the bubble". It breaks the surface and gives nice soft movement. I have the bubblers powered through my filter pump, which also gives flow to my returns. I have found that if I restrict the size of the bubbler opening with my fingers, I get much more bubbling action. I would love to find something that fits inside the opening of the bubbler to get the more turbulent effect.

Here you go, check this thread out as they were having the same issue and was able to find a fix for it:

Bubbler Nozzles, finally found some to fix our lack luster bubblers!

So.. 2-1/2 years ago when our pool was built, we asked the builder for two bubblers on the Baja shelf. He did give us what we wanted, kinda... but I felt they never really looked good. The problem, all that was supplied was two 1-1/2" fpt threaded returns that were flush in the baja shelf...
