Great video. I have the same system. This helped me understand how the parts go together. One of my heads broke and came out. I used an oil filter wrench to remove and replace the broken head.
Dont forget it is best to line up the air supply hole with the air supply. So make a mark and turn it till that is top center. It makes a huge difference in air supply.
Thanks, good info. I have a water leak into my spa form and wondered what the complete assembly was like and if I had a cracked pipe or leaking seal. I will remove and inspect with a borascope
Hi John, Thank you for your video. Our jets when running looks like a guyser going off. We also have to sit close to the jets to get any effect. Please advise. Thanks.
Im having an issue with a set of spa Jets that I installed and wondering what would be the best way to go at it ...I have a similar set of spa Jets the only thing I didn’t do was connect the inch line with the o-ring ...i glued in the wall fitting and the plaster is done on it so how would I be able to get the fitting itself out without damaging the pool ? I’m more of a beginner when it comes to this set up of spa Jets and would really appreciate the help if I could get it
Hi John, I have an older in ground spa and it has simple jets that don't have any nozzles. It is just pipes that end at the wall and the air comes out causing the water to splash all over the deck. I would like to know if I can retrofit any nozzles into my spa? Maybe there was originally, but there aren't any now. Please advise, thanks.
Very helpful. Thank you John. I'm losing water from the hottub slowly over night. I have had the gummite replastered so I feel sure it's not the tub itself. I see signs of moisture on the outside of the tub and am thinking it may be in one of two of the jets on that side of the tub. Any suggestions on how to locate this leak. Also I have a blower that I assume mixes air with jet stream that IS NOT working due to bad fan motor. Just in case that may come into the equation.Thanks in advance
Yes my hot tub is raised and can be allowed to over flow into my pool. Can you tell me where or how the check valve is or have I overstayed my welcome. I do appreciate your helping us pool people. Thank you~~!~~
@@dougjohn45 The check valve should be on the spa filtration return. Probably a 2-inch pipe with something like a valve but normally would have a clear cover where you can see a flap that only lets the water go One Direction. Hard to explain you could look it up on Google and see what the different 2 inch check valve look like. Most likely it will be a Jandy check valve. Or the equivalent.
Hi John, Great video. I have a customer that had a jet break off leaving the faceplate open. They still ran the spa daily. Now there are no bubbles. I think the air system has water in it. I replaced the jet. Still no bubbles. Ive tried using a blower on the air intake while running the system. Still no bubbles. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks
How does the assembly look in the wall? Do you have pipes connect the back half? Besides what you show in this video, how does the 'piece that goes in the wall' and the 'piece that goes against the plaster' fit together?
The fitting we screw the threaded end into in the beginning is a gunite nich for the threaded end to screw into the wall meant to be there before gunite and plaster
Hi there just wondering if the air holes just suck air freely in the jets with the water or theres an air pump that creates the air to mix with the water thanks
I have similar jets in my pool. What is the best way to plug these jets so water doesn’t go back in during winter? Bringing my water below the lowest jet is not an option for me. I tried regular plugs but they weren’t great. Do you know if they make threaded plugs?
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy I see how would one retrieve the threaded piece that must still be inside because the whole assembly comes out just short pvc stub at the end but there’s definitely glue on it. It’s a new spa only couple months old trying to get the contractor out or reach out to to a professional I was just trying to get any ideas how and if can be fixed until then. Thanks
It is not under high pressure and it doesn't matter if your connection leaks a little bit. Primer might drip and get on the threads and you don't want that. Feelfree however to use primer if you would like.

Thanks a ton John, you saved me many hours of being really upset with myself.
Excelente trabajo 👏 👍
Ty really was very helpful
Thanks so much for your tutorial. 👌👌👌
Thank very informative

You seem like a nice guy
Will you please help me to do counsel piping for the spa jets
Thanks, good info. I have a water leak into my spa form and wondered what the complete assembly was like and if I had a cracked pipe or leaking seal. I will remove and inspect with a borascope
The easiest way to find out is to put pressure on the plumbing

So are you saying there is no one inch pipe between the wall fitting and the jet niche?
Hi great job, really good looking hot tub. is tha concrete cast fibreglassed or some sort of liner? Thanks.
Its plaster
God Job
Excelent

Nine out of ten times if your spa is raised its probably the check valve

@@JohnThePoolExpertGuyhow do you winterized those jet. Its doesnt came with a plug
Good
Hi John, Do you sell this tipe of jets? Or where can I find them?
Can I ask you what type of pvc that is?
Hi. Does it matter what type of pipe I use? Regular schedule 40 pvc? I’m in the northeast and we have a hard freeze every winter. Thanks
Typically we use schedule 40 pvc. I believe that you would winterize the pool to prevent damage to the pipes.
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy thanks very much for responding. Appreciate it.
John,
Great video! Very Informative. How did you remove the original hot tub head?
They make a tool for it ... but I use pliers
hello john this is just what i needed, so once the wall insert and pvc pipe is in then any spa jets will screw in there?
Yes any of the Waterway Jets that are of that size
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy now i found them and ordered them but now i can't find thethreaded part for the end to screw. any suggestions
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy now i can't find the threaded piece for the end. any suggestions
@@donutman1958
Probably want to look for a wholesale supplier. Like SCP or General Pool Supply or something like that
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy thank you but I found them at a pool supply company. Thank you for the info and your video
Do you have the part numbers by any chance? our pool builder ghosted us and never finished installing the jets.
If I want to replace a jet, do I have to remove the water first?
No just unscrew it
The vent ( air intake) for the venturi Fitting without the air blower , ( just the simple install) , how long I can run the 3/4" pipe?
I usually convert the 3/4 to 1. 1/2" right away So you get decent air flow
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy Thanks!

Did you figure it out? I have the same issue.
WHere are the Jets getting the AIR? Is there a pipe that leads all the way back to the valves ( pool/spa) ?
On mine there is a blow by my spa equipment with a operate pipe
Much Mahalo
Isn't there a special glue for pool and spa applications?
Yes Weld-On makes pool and spa rated Glues and Primers. You can check out their website
Buenas noches.
Excelente tu explicación, me podrías decir o pasar una foto de como queda la toma de aire? Fuera de la pileta. Cómo queda?
Si ,compa esta facil cuando pueda os mandare fto.
hi john where i can buy this kind of jets
How does the assembly look in the wall? Do you have pipes connect the back half? Besides what you show in this video, how does the 'piece that goes in the wall' and the 'piece that goes against the plaster' fit together?
I hear you say in the video it's a solid pipe, but it doesn't look like that in the video. What if your wall is thicker or thinner?
At 5 minutes 45 seconds you can see how the fitting looks in the wall
Also at 2 minutes and 20 seconds into the video I show how to measure for the wall thickness
The fitting we screw the threaded end into in the beginning is a gunite nich for the threaded end to screw into the wall meant to be there before gunite and plaster

Where can I find the threaded piece at the end? Dimensions, description?
You have to order them online or go to a pool specialties place
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy “Retaining ring” was what I was looking for. Thanks for the reply and for the video. I have 8 to replace. Fingers crossed.
My jet pops out seems like the whole assembly blue glue on the pvc pipe like in the video but not the piece glued on. What can be done?
Maybe the piece of pipe is too short?
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy I see how would one retrieve the threaded piece that must still be inside because the whole assembly comes out just short pvc stub at the end but there’s definitely glue on it.

What’s the part number? This is an amazing product

Not that I know of.
Hi John
Very helpful information! Do you have Facebook so I can ask you some questions because I'm halfway in building of my spa but I'm stuck
You can email me at eclipsecustomizedpools@gmail.com
Why no primer?

you should always use primer
I don't recommend using primer on spa jets.... just use a very small amount of glue
Why do you not recommend using primer? Just curious
