Hello. We are new to the homeowner pool ownership and maintenance. We need to replace our 4 eyeball jets. Our pool is more on the large size. Kidney shaped. 65,000 gallons. There’s a jet at the stairs and three others across from the skimmers. We have 2 skimmers. Our pump is a 2 HP Extreme Power pump. Is it better to use (4) 1/2” or (4 )3/4” jets?
 
Brin,

Just depends on what you want. Larger eyeballs give you lower filter pressure and more flow, and smaller eyeballs give you higher pressure and less flow.

Kind of like putting your finger over the end of a hose.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Anyone have a good source for buying replacement eyeballs?
I got mine on Amazon - They aren't really expensive..$2-$4 each including shipping...

I figured it's not like there are many moving parts to go wrong.

Just do a search on Pool Return Eyeball ;)
