Wall Jets vs Deck Jets

[allinspector]

So I've always planned on getting deck jets, but the more I think about it, the more I'm considering wall jets.

Two reasons would be less water loss, and guests can walk on the deck without getting wet.

Seems like it is always windy in my backyard, I imagine lots of spray getting all over the place.

I don't think I've ever seen a pool build on here with wall jets - does anyone here have a case for deck jets over wall jets?

Thanks

Those are fairly cheap with plastic covers, and nozzles. Best to get the solid brass kind. Just search "brass deck jets" They are around $90 a piece.

I am in the middle of a remodel and have added Pentair Deck Jet I (not Deck jet II which looks similar to your image) to my sidewall for the same reason you say. So at this point I don't have any experience since construction is not finished. The Deck jet I has 5 different eyeballs for different effects With the Deck Jet II I was afraid that the cap would fall off. I also wanted the different eyeballs. One is an aerator that I will use to cool the pool down.

I had the "top" of the jet set a little proud of the tile surface to make sure the water stream cleared the coping edge. I don't think that was necessary and would set it flush next time.

We have 2 deck jets and they are a hit with everyone, adults love the looks of the water shooting in the pool, our nieces and nephews love playing with them which prob leads to some water loss but not much.

We have 3 deck jets (brass ones) and the kids love it. They do play with it but I put the water loss is minimal. You will probably lose more water splashing.
