Inground spa jet fell out of socket - how do I put it back in?

[sanspeur]

Hi all. The other day I was going outside to brush the pool and when I got to the spa one of the jet nozzles was laying in the bottom of the spa! See picture of nozzle. How do I put it back in? There does not seem to be any threads to screw it in, or any clips per se to clip it in there....

It look like it snaps in.

Maybe @RDspaguy has handled that type.

Push and turn clockwise until it snaps in. Are there 2 little buttons on the outside below the flange? Post a pic looking down into the jet.

@RDspaguy Hello. Here is what it looks like...

Crazy Pool Owner. Probably.

Hi @JamesW, thanks for this. Unfortunately I don't think this is the same as mine as mine does not have any threads to screw into the niche that it came out of Could that part be stuck in the actual niche??

 

[JamesW]

It looks like the threaded part might be left in the jet body.

Maybe the wrench is needed?

CPO stands for "Certified Pool Operator" and it is a very basic course on chemistry and public pool regulations that is required for those who operate or maintain public pools in many areas. Think of it as an introduction to public pool management.
Though "Crazy Pool Owner" is probably more accurate.
