Why do you need Jets in a pool?
Most pools will use a minimum of 2 or 3 return jets, and install them in the deep end, shallow end, and any other area of the pool that provides balanced circulation to the water. Additionally, if the pool is designed with a swim out, step jets are usually installed on either side, to keep the water circulating around them. Why Do You Need Them?

Why do I have air bubbles in my Pool Jets?
If you notice air bubbles around the jets, that’s a telltale sign you have a leak. This can come from a low water level (pool water should always be halfway up the skimmer height), or from wear and tear on various parts of the filtration system (ie. defective gaskets or o-ring, joint issues in plumbing).
What should I do if I keep getting bubbles in my Jets?
On the second piece of tape mark the water level of the pool as it rises on the outside of the bucket. Wait 24 hours. Do not run pump during this test.

What does it mean when your pool jets are not working?
That’s the noise that anyone makes, including longtime pool maintenance experts, when pool jets get strangely weak. If your jets aren’t working, don’t worry: you are certainly not the first—or last—pool owner to experience this problem.
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.

There may be a clogged suction side line if very little or no water is entering the pump. This will often occur if a leaf trap or vac plate is not used when vacuuming the pool. The clog will occur between the skimmer or vacuum port and the pump.
