Filling pool and water streaming out of one of the jets

[blondechica]

Hi there, we are finally filling our pool after signing one year ago! However, there is water streaming out of one of the jets. We are concerned this will damage our Hydrazzo. Any reasons for this occurring? And any remedies? Texted PB but not expecting a response on a Saturday.
Thanks!

Water left over in the pipes from pressure testing I suspect.

It would be good to stop it if it is still occurring. Plug the jet with something.

It's still streaming out of two jets after several hours. I have my doubts that there could still be water left over in the pipes after hours and hours. Thoughts? I can't find anything similar posted anywhere. It's probably ruining my plaster. Thanks!

Then there must be a water source somewhere. Turn off valves at the pad. Do you have an elevated spa that was filled first?

We DID have an elevated spa that was filled first! How do you believe that is contributing?

The water is feeding back through your equipment pad. Check the valves. One of them is not fully closed.

Would this be true even if we haven't started any equipment?

Yes. The systems are tied together. It may be a moot point now. But the builder should have known better to fill the spa and not isolate it from the pool returns.

Hi there. We just filled our pool yesterday morning. Today I noticed this streak on the Hydrazzo. It’s new. We are waiting for the start up tech to arrive and add chemicals. Our equipment is not running yet. We’ve been brushing twice a day. Do I have any remedies to fix it? And is there anything I can do to keep more from appearing? Thanks!

Examined a photo from before the pool filled and it looks like the mark was there before we filled. It only became apparent today.

These two threads were merged but these were actually two different areas of the pool so they are unrelated.
