18x36 in-ground, 3 feet deep upfront then slopping to 8 feet. 2 skimmers, 1 main, 2 returns. I don't have a heater. I suppose my goal with jet placement is to properly keep the water circulating to skim the surface and if possible, push the dirt from the shallow end towards the main.
I wont lie, I dont even remember how I had the jets pointed last year (moved into a new home last summer and its my first inground pool). However, last year I was using a single speed pump and now I have a VS pump (if that makes a difference).
Right now I have both jets pointing in the same direction but one is angled towards the bottom and the other is barely breaking the water surface to hopefully simulate a circular motion. When the pump is on the low speed (which lasts 22 hours a day) it seems like debris on the surface is not moving. If I aim both jets directly at the skimmers and create a tiny ripple in the water surface, it seems like the floating debris makes it way towards the skimmers but does nothing for the dirt on floor.
Thoughts on this age old and highly debated question?
