Thank you for looking!
I have a pool that was just remodeled. During the reno, the contractor replaced the spa jets. Unfortunately, they replaced them with the wrong size eyeball and they discarded the originals.... I have no way to find what was originally there now! Contractor says their is only one jet that will work in my spa and they have no other options.
If I run JUST my spa pump I have decent pressure from the jets and all is well. If I turn on my air blower along with the spa pump, no air will come out of the jets. In a minute or two the blower will thermal out and shutdown. If I remove 1 jet, the blower works as it should along with the pump. If I try to leave all the jets in, the two cannot be used at the same time but either works fine one at a time.
The blower and pump are the originals and no plumbing was changed. I did change the blower with a new one (same mfr. and specs) and the issue of course persisted. The motor/pump is a 2.5HP and the blower is a 2HP. I have 8 jets in the spa and the spa is 75ft from the equipment.
My next thought was to try to run a smaller pump/motor to lower the pressure at the jet exit and hopefully that will allow the air blower to work? Question is what size pump/motor to try. I don't want to just take a guess and spend a grand on parts to find this won't fix it.
