Why are the Jets on my hot tub not working?
Jets Are Not Working Properly When jets start failing, the most likely case is that your hot tub pump is not working correctly. This releases air from the line and purge system, allowing more water to stream through the jets. Clogged filters or water intakes can also cause jet issues. Clean them to enhance water flow.
What should I do if my pool jets are not working?
In order to clean, sand and DE filters need to be backwashed and cartridge elements need to be hosed down. DE grids and cartridges can be soaked in a filter cleaner to remove oils and grease that aren’t removed during normal cleaning.
What should I do if my spa jets are not working?
Open this valve and there should be the sound of hissing air: keep open until water starts to come out, then close the valve. Force water directly into your spa’s jets with a garden hose, holding the hose directly but gently up against each jet for 20-30 seconds.
Why are the jet nozzles on my hot tub not working?
The full effect of scale buildup may take some time to set in before you begin to notice significant changes in your hot tub’s performance. At first, you may start to notice the jet nozzles becoming more difficult to adjust. This is from scale buildup (calcium carbonate) settling into the eyelets of the jet nozzles.
How can I tell if my pool jets are leaking?
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. The pump strainer, in most cases, should be full of water and have no visible air. Pump lid O-rings are a habitual offender of air leaks.

What does it mean when pool jets are low?
Anything lower than your normal operating PSI is considered low. For example, let’s say your normal operating PSI is 10-15. If your gauge is reading 5 PSI, it’s low. This would result in the pool jets not being as strong as expected.
