Hello,
I moved into a house about 6 months ago and am learning more about the pool/spa as the days go on. I noticed occasionally when you switch it to "spa" mode (spa suction / spa return) the jets are on but very very weak. I also have a tropic air blower (model number not visible) but when you turn that on not much happens in the spa. I tried to turn on the spa jets today and the jets were so weak you couldn't even tell they were on. I turned on the air blower and not much difference. The air blower has a circular hole on one side and you can feel a ton of air coming out of it. Shouldn't this air be sent to the spa jets instead of out the side of this device? I attached pictures of the air blower. Does the air blower just provide "extra" jet power when needed? Today just as a guess I covered this hole with my hand while the blower was on and viola the jets started working again. It almost seems like when I cover the hole the jets blow harder. Is this hole supposed to have some type of cap over it that I am missing? Any idea why the jets started working when I covered the escaping air out of this hole? I turned the blower off and the jets are still working fine now so I can't really tell a difference with the air blower on or off as the jets look the same.
Also, as a side note, is there an easy way for me to reseal the line in between the coping and the concrete around the pool and spa? It's coming off in about 3-4" long pieces all around the white coping where it meets the concrete.
