Deck jets slow drip on new pool install

[datadr93]

We are still in the early stages of our pool install. Pool is currently in-ground and waiting another week for gravel to settle before install the concrete forms and add 3 foot deck surround. There are also 4 deck jets placed around pool on 2 plumbing lines. Noticing there is a slow drip coming from all 4 jet housings. I have removed the nozzles, added teflon tape, and retightened. Yet all 4 jets continue to produce a small drip out of the base.

Is this something to be concerned? Once they are sealed in concrete we obviously won't see the drip but it's still a water loss. The housing units do have 2 small holes in base apparently to allow for drainage. So not sure if this is normal or if I need to have the jets inspected for a leak out of the swivel base... which do not appear can be disassembled but I could be wrong.

Question 3 of probably 200 as we go down the insanity path of installing our first pool.

Can you provide a picture of the area that is leaking?

The small drip comes out of the base. Inside the base there is a small pool of water near the drain hole.

Is this coming from the jet itself or from the connection to the PVC?

Not familiar with that style of jet. The ones I see most often are brass.
If the base has a weep hole, possibly it’s normal for the water to be in that area, when incased in concrete where can the water go?
Can’t imagine that it’s designed to leak, possibly it’s a drainage issue after use?

There are drain holes for a reason. Water starts to drip as soon as the jets turn on.

If it's not an issue once encased in concrete, that is what I want to verify is good.
