Hello, I have a 7 x 3 meter 4 feet pool with a 1.5 hp pump with 2 jet nozzles. The water speed of the jet nozzles coming out near the surface of the pool is barely noticeable. I guess the 1.5 hp pump isn't strong enough to have that splash effect from the nozzles. What would you recommend I do if i wan that spa effect from the jet nozzles? Some people tell me to add an additional 1 hp pump? If I do, then how will it be connected from the main pump? Thanks
Do I need an additional pump for my jet nozzles?

Each pump you have needs it own dedicated suction and return. You cannot share suction and especially having two pumps feeding water to one return system.
What is the size of your pipes? The amount of flow is limited by pipe diameter.
Change your 1.5HP pump to a 3+HP Variable Speed pump and maybe you can push more flow through your pipes.
