Deck jet plumbing help

[johnd23]

I am having a pool built and I am planning to add the plumbing for future deck jets and waterfalls prior to back filling. My idea is to add 10 standard cmp deck jets. I am plumbing 2 of them as home runs in case i decide to upgrade those to laminar in the future. My original plan was to run a dedicated line to each side and connect 4 deck jets:


In doing some research here it seems a loop is recommended to help with even flow. Id like the ability to control each side individually so connecting both sides to have all 8 on 1 loop wouldn't work. I'm trying to find out the best way to go about this. Is my only option creating a separate loop on each side as below?


The deck jets accept 3/4", I was going to run 2" out on each side and reduce it at each T to 3/4".

Would i be better off to just run 3/4" home runs for each jet from the pad? Even with the smaller 3/4" pvc i think it would be quite a bit more expensive with all the extra pipe needed. Being able to fine tune each one would be nice though.

Or maybe 10 is overkill and I should just stick with the 2 diagonal home run jets. I initially started with 6 jets but kept adding them to "even" it out.
Any help or tips anyone can offer is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

10 deck jets is a ton! Even doing loops would make it hard to have all 10 decks jets look the same. I installed valves at the pad because i didn’t have room or time to install loops but that was only 2.

I have two deck jets that have been on for a total of less than an hour in 9 years. They are not pleasant, very noisy.

Each deck jet should have its own line with valve from the pad.

I am also building a pool and was on the same page as you. I was going to do 4 deck jets on two side of the pool a total of 8. I too was wanting to be able to control them individually but control each manifold with and actuator. My issue was the same as yours. I am like 60 feet away from pool and that is a lot of piping... I thought of maybe running a larger main line close to the deck jets and have a travertine tile that lifts and have a box there to control each deck jet...not sure if that would work or how to do it exactly... What did you end up doing? Did you prep for future Laminar? How did you do that?

Have 4 Laminars all on the long side of the pool away from the house. They are located about 6' from the edge of the pool, evenly spaced the length of the pool and in a 30" wide landscape bed with small white rocks as mulch.

Water supply: From the output of the cartridge filter is a 3-way automated valve to divert flow to the laminars.
The pipe is 2" SCH 40. The pipe runs outside the pool deck to a location that is perpendicular to the the laminars. This location is also in a landscape bed.
Placed there is a large irrigation box with (4) 1" ball valves, one to each laminar ,on a manifold using 2"x2"x1" reducing tees. A the end of the manifold is a 2" ball valve as the 2" pipe continues to an open ditch 30' away to lower the water level as needed.
Each laminar is piped with a 1" pvc pipe. Flow is adjusted by the ball valves to get the stream heights equal.

Electrical Supply: Each laminar requires a low voltage feed. The Transformer is located beside the pool panel. Conduit runs along the water supply pipe and surfaces to a Junction wiring box on a 4x4 post located near the irrigation box. 4 conduits exit the junction box, run under the irrigation box, and then in the same trench as the water supply pipes to each laminar.

Beautiful pool and jets.
Thank you for pictures and explanation. If I understand correctly after the filter you have a 3 way valve and actuator with a 2" pipe that goes to an irrigation box that you then did a manifold and split into 4 individual 1" pipes with a ball valve to adjust each jet. The electrical is also run near that box and the electrical and plumbing to each jet is run in the same ditch..
