The jets have an adjustable ball/socket joint so you can aim them. Some people run a line to each jet and use a valve to adjust the flow/height, but we used a balance loop instead. Less pipes in the ground and very effective. The jets will work with the main variable speed pump, but we get a lot more height when running the 3/4HP booster pump. It’s a Hayward SP2305X7 that flows 80GPM with 20’ of head. We run the booster pump and an electric valve actuator off of the Aux 1 switch on our control panel. It turns the pump on and opens the 3-way valve to a preset position for the perfect height.
Love it! i will say that if I put more time into the pool rathe then getting the house done. My wife would have me living in the pool house. hahahha. Also, just my thoughts about adding chemicals to the pool. Add S L O W. some times one chemical will change the balance for the others that you are adding. then you are adding Chemicals to off set Chemicals. I say this as i take care of 2 pools ( how I found your vids). One small pool wish is my own pool at my house then a much larger one that is just like a pool, A sewer plant. and let me tell you, the chemical stores love to sell. thanks for these videos. your friend in the Poconos!
Thanks, Rich! Believe it or not, my wife was the one who was really pushing to get the pool done! I will have lots of house videos coming up soon! Thanks for the tip on the chemicals. It definitely makes sense that you want to let stuff mix and equalize before you start adding something else.
What brand of deck jets did you use for your install? Also what auxiliary pump did you use? Is it possible for you to post a video of how you plumb this in your pool house and automation panel,if you have 1.. Please and thanks.
We used the Jandy #JDJ2004 deck jets with a Hayward MaxFlow 3/4hp auxiliary pump. I will work on a new video that details the installation and operation of the deck jets.
Thanks! I cut our pipe 3-7/8” or 98.425mm below the surface of the coping. Please double check your jets to make sure that will work for you. Good luck!
How do you plumbing the deck jet are you using a different plumbing line or using the same return line im try to build my own pool but I got stuck on that part
Check out episode 138. That’s the one where I covered how to build a balanced pressure loop for the jets and using a separate pump as a “booster” to send water to the jets. th-cam.com/video/EyydVF4bSaI/w-d-xo.html
Great question. You can definitely add deck jets to an existing pool, but it may be very labor intensive depending on what type of decking you have around your pool. If you have concrete decking, then you’re going to be cutting a lot of holes in it to run the piping. If you have pavers, it will still be a lot of work, but not as bad as cutting concrete.
@@WoodmereEstateRevival Thanks! I actually want to get rid of scuppers so it may be as easy as drilling down through the concrete to the pipe. Easier said than done I know!
Gotcha. Well, the good news is you have an existing water source with the scuppers. You’ll have to cut a decent sized hole to make the new connection for the deck jets and then pour new concrete around the jet bodies. Any idea how large the water line is that supplies the scuppers? Most deck jet manufacturers recommend 1-1/2” to 2” supply lines depending on how many jets you have. Ours uses a 2” feed line to a 1-1/2” loop and then the 6 jets T off with 3/4” lines.

How do you adjust the arc and flow of the jets? That is a lot of water to be flowing when on. What size (HP and volume) pump did you use?

Doing very good with your video's
I appreciate that!

Great gob dad
Thank you, son
Looking fab I’ve got the same jets I’m about to install. How low in mm did you cut the pipe from the coping flush. Nice 1

@@WoodmereEstateRevival Cool! It's a 1.5" pcv pipe, nice that it's an option.
