Jet Troubleshooting

[bjerich0213]

Hi all, we opened our pool today for the season, super excited! I already backwashed the filter once due to the pressure going up to about 18 psi (normal operating pressure about 10 psi) and I’m noticing one of our three pool jets has much less power than the other two. Not sure how helpful these are, but I attached photos. First photo is the weakest jet, and the other two are the normal “appearing” jets. The first jet does have flow, but it’s very weak and is barely agitating the water.
Is there a way to troubleshoot this, or am I overthinking? The filter pressure is running at 10 psi, and we’ve had the pump on for about 6ish hours now or so. Appreciate any insight/advice, thank you!

Is the "low flow" return the furthest one from the equipment pad?

Sure thing! Here they are. The weak jet is towards the top left of the second photo. Admittedly I’m not sure if it’s the farthest.. it seems to be about equidistant to another jet on that same wall.

My guess is that it is the furthest of the three.
I would not evaluate it until you finish the slam process to clear your algae. Link-->SLAM Process

Will do, I appreciate the fast response again!
