How should I point my pool jets?
The jets should all point in the same direction, ideally at a 45-degree angle that’s directed toward the bottom of the pool. One way to remember it: Point the jets at 4 o’clock or 7 o’clock and ensure that the jets are not pushing water toward the skimmers.
Why is water not coming out of the Jets?
Air Leaks. Air drawn into the system by suction leaks gets trapped at the pump impeller, resulting in an air lock that prevents the pump from priming, and interrupts flow of water to the return jets. Loss of water pressure at the returns may be preceded by noticeable air bubbles emitting from the jets. Air can enter at any number of points.
What should I do if my bathtub jets are not working?
All you need to do is fill the tub up using hot water and make sure that all of the jets are completely covered with at least 2 inches of water. Add ¼-cup of dish detergent into the water and turn the jets on.
Why are the Jets not working on my inground pool?
While you’re checking the water level, remove the skimmer basket and clean it. Leaves and other debris may be preventing water from passing through it. Sand and DE filters have multiport valves with several settings that reduce or eliminate output from the jets.
Why is the jet pump in my well not working?
The jet pump has not been primed. The jet pump is sucking air. The depth-to-water in the well is too deep. The check valve is installed upside down or is stuck in the closed position. The pump motor is running on the wrong voltage.

Why are the Jets on my Pool not working?
The most common reason for weak jets is an air leak. An air leak would come from the suction side of the system. This would be the area between the skimmer and the pump. One way to determine if you have an air leak is by looking for air bubbles coming out of the return jets. Another sign is air in the pump strainer.
