Hello all, I hope you're staying cool in your pool!!!
I've been in this house about 1.5 years and take care of my chemicals thanks to you all!
I'm trying to figure out the right thing to do with my return jets. I've uploaded 4 pictures, one of the pool and jet numbers in each other picture. I have a 20k gallon pool probably about 40 years old. It has one drain, one skimmer basket, two return jets #1 & #3, and another return jet that is used by my vacuum booster pump.
#1 is in my shallow end over the steps, you can see the buildup and where the water was directed before.
#2 is the Booster and halfway point of the pool.
#3 is in the deep end.
Both #1 and #3 have 4 screws and seems to be an return that swivels, but is a little loose.
#2 has an adapter that I've pulled out when not using the vacuum. It has threaded pipe inside that I can put some type of return on.
My challenge is since I only have 1 skimmer, and the returns are on the same side of the pool. I can't figure out how to position the jets. I'm also looking to get a return for #2.
I believe I have 1.5 " pipe throughout, it's a Hayward DE filter, and VSP. My typical pressure seems to be at 8psi.
I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but hope this was thorough.
