This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Yes, this is a pretty horrible way to do it. If you look at the tabs on the removed jet you will see a channel inside of the socket that has a perpendicular keyway to allow the tabs to slide out. All you have to do is turn the jet all the way to the right and pull. LOOK inside the jet well and you will see the intended removal design.
That is what I thought I was like why are you not using some kind of rubber gasket between the wrench and the jet housing? Lol then he broke one and I was like ouch! Lol ugh at least he didn't go on 5 minutes on how you soak them in vinegar lol
Thank you! Had a twirling jet with ball bearings go bad after 4 1/2 years of owning a new Hotsprings Flair hot tub. Went to my local dealer where I bought it and buy my supplies and they gave me a replacement for free (5-year parts warranty I guess) and they said it was easy to replace even with water in the tub. Had to come to your video to see how it was done and you taught me that I needed my pickle jar grippy and some elbow grease and boom! Easy. Thanks for giving me the confidence to put some force on it! Works like a charm!
I own a 1998 Sundance Marin Spa. After previewing this video, I attempted to turn my 5" foot jet to remove. This was not a correct procedure for my model spa. My replacement jets snaps into the jet housing without removing the trim. I didn't see any videos showing this process for older Sundance spa's. Hopefully you will show this procedure in a new video.
Mine is a 2003 Coast Spa, has the same snap-off jets. Watching this video gave me the brainstorm to find my channel locks, and when the jet popped right off I realized it was different.
The "single directional flow" jets that you took apart last does come apart more. There's a larger piece that pops out and has 2 O-rings. Thanks for the video.
I have a brand new ThermoSpa, 2wks old. I used the rag trick to loosen a jet that had seized up. Problem solved, luckily. Usual I’d be the guy using pliers and breaking it.
I was having a difficult time removing a spinning jet, I poured some vinegar over the jet, let it sit for a few minutes, off it came. Thanks for the video. My tub is 18 years old.
My spa is over 10. I have spent a few grand trying to get leak fixed. They tell me to trash it. Nope wrong answer. I have taken the fascia boards all off and using a waterproof leak stop on them. Tested them and it holds water now. So much for spa techs.
Thanks for this video, I've got a lazboy spa with the 3 inch jets by the neck, one works but is very slow even in open position, the other barely trickles water even in full open position, guess it's time to pop them off see if they are clogged up soak in vinegar and pray i don't have to replace them...
Can you possibly post a link or anyone post a link on where to purchase the older model (early 2000s sundance square 8x8 hot tub) small shoulder snap in cushions?! Please? Ours are frickan green and gross. I would appreciate anyone's help on this. Thank you in advance
I need help! I can send a picture but it looks like two of mini body jet is missing on a tub that was given to me. Is there an email so I can send u pictures?
Your video was good to show how to remove the jet, but wish you had shown how to put a new one back in. I got replacement DXL Sundance 4.3 jet from dealer as several old ones (2012) kept coming loose and floating around in spa. What holds the new ones in when I put them back to replace so they stay put and don't just pop out when the jets turn on? Is there something special I need to do when inserting the new ones in or do I have a part inside that is worn out so it won't hold? I can't see what is in the hole to hold it but there are two flanges that spring out on the base of the new jets. Thought this was going to be simple, now I'm frustrated.
Just push it in. If you find it won't go all the way in you can twist it 90deg either direction. Can't really mess it up. Just stick it in and give it a pop with your palm.
@@SpaDayz Thanks, I get in and try it tonight again. I was afraid I might break it. Still wonder what those two springy prongs are suppose to hook to.. or maybe behind something?
@@SpaDayz One last thing...sorry.. but on the end of the jet shaft there is a large open slot.. and since it appears you can only rotate the jet 90 deg. each way to open/close the jet, I'm assuming this slot allows the air through it...so does it get put back in with the slot facing "up" or facing "down" so it works properly and that slot matches up with something?
So, I know its 8 years later. But, would lowering the PH super low and running it. Wouldnt that dissolve the buildup and then you just drain and refill
@ SpaDayz I was having leak down issues through the venture or vent system. I'm assuming I had some "Crossing Over", so I replaced ALL the jets and problem solved. The old jets were chalked up bad with calcium etc. but were not damaged. Can leaving a jet turned OFF cause crossing over and leak down...???
Hi, I like your video! I like the spa jets you have. I have a artesian south sea spa 748 dx. I want to use other jets different from the ones I got below ? Can I use any maker as long as the size is correct ? Like I want some nice rotation 3 in replacements, but I don't like the ones that came with it, am I stuck or ? Below are the stock model numbers • 03-1414-52 Double / Twin Rotating 5” Stainless • 03-1312-52 Directional 3.5” Stainless • 03-1208-52 Directional 3” Stainless • 03-1207-52 Rotating 3” Stainless • 03-1103-52 Directional 2” Stainless any help would be much appreciated !
Hi. I have a garden leisure 5 person hot tub and I need to replace all the Jets. Having a very hard time finding replacements. Any assistance you could offer would be so awesome
White vinegar? and I brought a house with a spa built in, got no knowledge on it but all the Jets have come out now and I'm noticing water decrease. Was already missing a Jet but over a few months the rest just popped out, noticed them in the water when I went to use. You need the Jets though?
Hey ik this is a little off topic of video but on my new ac motor i have, above the inlet big tube connect there are 2 little black almost valve looking things but one of them isnt blocked and leaks water out. Am i supposed to have a little water line coming off of that or something? Or could i just fill it in.. thanks in advance
That is theine that primes the pump. It will generally have a line going to the tub or circulation pump. It allows the pump to fill with water before it runs. Not always necessary. You could try just capping it off.
My 2004 Sundance Optima is leaking from the temperate sensor. I removed the panel, and the foam installation to get a closer look, but I cannot tell how it is secured to the tub. It looks as though it stays secure because of the installation and by screwing in the sensor. Do you have any experience with them leaking? Thoughts on sealing it with silicone? Ideas? Thanks for you help. Gordon
TrailerDayz yes I believe exactly the same 1999 sundance Marin is what I have they barely move to turn on and off but they should because one is loose the rest are so hard to move
One of my jets is clogged with what feels like rubber, I think it’s sealant or a rubber seal. I can’t get it out but it’s totally clogged the jet. How do you suggest I unclog it?
@@SpaDayz Its a American Spa 630LS 5 person. I have removed the outerjet but can't get at the blockage. I'm afraid that if I stick a wire hanger down there that I am going to just push the clog further down the line.
Hi we have the steam shower with the jets Thanks for the advice on how to clean them, The temperature dial for the shower is sticking and takes so much strength to turn. We can't see a way of removing this from the back or the front do you have any advice. Thank you
lynne camozzi Many fixtures will just screw on/off, even if there is no apparent flats to use a wrench on. I would have to see it to be sure.

Hello, GREAT VIDEO! I have subscribed to your channel and appreciate the time you have put into these videos. I have an '03 Sundance Cameo. I have the 5 inch jets and when I turn the silver ring to the left the ring just comes off. Basically the silver ring and jet are 2 separate components. I am assuming that all the jets are just old and broken. Water does come out of them though. Do you have any ideas on removing the inner part of the jet in order to replace with what you have shown in your video. Thanks
the chrome trim ring is just crimped over the outside of the housing. If you try ti turn it now that the metal trim ring is off, you may have more luck. On older spas the plastic degrades and removal becomes quite difficult
oh wow I also have the same '03 Cameo and one of the jets isnt putting much out. I had the same experience where "unscrewing" them at the bezel just pops the chrome/plastic face off and then the main body of the jet is still in there. I realize your post is 7 yrs old now lol but thought i might ask anyway. Did you figure this out? I'm reluctant to just start cranking on the jetbody with channelocks since it looks like theres a flat white gasket that might not be replaceable.
Okaythen001 Yeah... Imagine all of the surface area in all of the tubes and jets. Now imagine all of the oils and dirt from a person covering all of those surfaces. Almost no way to really ever get it completely clean. Bathtubs shouldn't be jetted if you ask me, since you always want to know you can take a clean bath.

Glue two pieces of rubber on the pliers to prevent scratching.
Or duct tape over the teeth.
@@NorthstarNorthstar Just use a rag
How to scratch and break your jets is what I learned here
Maybe you could make a video showing us all how to do better?

Not unless you lowered it A LOT. The calcium crystals take years to form and are quite hard.
@@SpaDayz thank-you. I figure that means you would need the PH more around 3 or 4 and that might damage other components

Gordon Loop Yep. Just unscrew the nut, wiggle and pry it out, then re-install with a generous helping of 100% silicone or boss sealant
Any advice for cal spa jets? I have one coming off all the time. Two actually
Commenting all the way from Australia my jets no where loose as urs struggling to get them to move at
all
Aaron Kay Do they move back and forth to turn the jet off and on? Do you have the same spa brands down under?
TrailerDayz yes I believe exactly the same 1999 sundance Marin is what I have they barely move to turn on and off but they should because one is loose the rest are so hard to move
Aaron Kay yeah they get that way. Just keep working it. Replace them, or remove them all and soak in vinegar for a day
I soaked the hole spa in vinegar i added ten litres to it
Aaron Kay That's a lot vinegar!
Scratching the finish using those pliers!?!
Sometimes they don't want to come out.
Thank you, that was awesome

@@sagedrummer Can you get at it with a small pair of hemostats or tweezers?
SpaDayz I’ll see if I can use the smallest pair of tweezers on it. Unfortunately it’s the smallest jet on the tub so it’s a very small opening.

Scratches are inevitable on really stuck jets.
dude im sure when hes more careful next time he think of you
