Now why they couldn't put them back in is what I am trying to figure out? Unless the tabs that hold them in broke which would be really odd for that jet. The big thing is it is disheartning for him, and hopefully the dealer will deal with it, no dealer likes to tear into a new spa. This is where we differ, I would come get the spa and bring him a loaner, not sure it was offered but it's better than a dismantled spa in a backyard. why are they removing the skirt and pulling foam then? something doesn't add up that is why I said I'd like to see pics

Jim on the rx jets, all but one of the jets came out. The metal pin and all. I thought they would just pop back in myself, but when I couldn't figure it out, I called my dealer. They sent a guy out, who has been doing this for 19 years, and he couldn't get them in either. They called Jacuzzi, and was told that they would have to pull the skirting and the foam out, and replace the whole jet from the back side. On the other topic, I can understand my neighbors concerns. Let's say I want to buy a new truck, and I know nothing about trucks. My neighbor buys a new Ford, and I think it's a real nice, comfortable, good riding truck. I think that's the one I want, because I really like his, it's a top brand, and has good reviews. Then I see a loaner parked in his driveway for about 3 weeks. He says it's in the shop because this or that is wrong with it. Even if his dealer is taking care of him, I'm going maybe rethink this whole Ford thing, and maybe look at a Dodge, or a Chevy. My dealer is taking very good care of me, by the way. The owner was out yesterday, making sure this all got done. I'm in the process of filling it now, so we'll see!Also, my dealer said that they have never seen this either.

Maybe others around your serial number are seeing this but I doubt it is widespread or it would be well known. It may be messy to have to go through all this but in the end you should be fine. To be safe I'd run it for a couple days to make sure they're all sealed well and no issues are seen before I refoamed it and buttoned it up.

Haven't you seen jets before?
Yeah, I'm sure you're right! I just was so pissed, and had to vent! My old lady was tired of listening to me, so I came here!
