Caldera Geneva jet mod

[KarlXII]

I am really happy with just about everything concerning this spa, but I feel I would be even more happy with a slight modification.

The upper Euro jets on the lounger itches after a while if I use really high pressure. I'd like to switch them with the wrist Euro-pulse jets from the Ecstaseat.

Can this be done?

I know how to remove the Euro jet nozzles, but the Euro-pulse jets really sits tight & low. Do I need a tool? Set of pliers, perhaps?  I have tried to rotate it counterclockwise, but it only moves a tiny bit and won't come off.
I'd like to know this before I destroy something.

Any ideas?

Yes - I have replaced several Eurojets with Europulses. The outer ring rotates off same way as the regular Eurojet. Then there is a a white cylindrical sleeve. I stuck a small screwdriver inside it partially to gently pry it out.

Order new Euro pulse jets.  If your dealer can't help you, I'm sure our friend San Diego here can.

yes you can do it. as others have mentioned before if you need any additional help PM me.

I experimentred quite a bit and thought I would post what we like in our Geneva.

At first, I thought it would be cool to make all the foot jets pulse. Bad idea. The direct power is much nicer. I did settle on leaving one pulse in each foot jet under the "big toe" jet. We found we liked the pulse in the wrist jets on our fingertips. This gives a bit of the fingertip like effect on your big toe.

In the seat of the lounger, I replaced all the EJ with EP. This makes all jets in this seat "active".

The last change was very specific to me - I wanted to dull the calf jets in the ecstaseat, so replaced those too.

I replaced about 20+ of those jets in my tub.  I too didn't care for em in the foot jets.

I own a 2003 Caldera Geneva Utopia.

They were pretty easy to remove/swap out.

What I did notice when I purchased the spinners from 2 different places is,they have left and right spinners lol.  I couldn't tell a difference,so I think if it spins left or right is a moot point.

Here's some pics of the parts....

Thanks guys!

I took a bath this morning and brought my trusty Leatherman. I was able to pry off the EP:s with the screwdriverbit, and used the pliers to gently pull out the EJ nozzle.

Result: Much better. I cannot understand why Caldera doesn't put EP:s in the lounger. It is not comfortable to have that high pressure jet so close to the back. I'm very happy now.

Autoplay: I really like the high pressure in the foot jets. It's easier to move the feet around a bit to ease off the stinging, as compared to the back where you are seated stationary.

Just wondering how much them euro pulse jets run for cost.  I might want to put them in my lounger as well.

We used to have all the spinners in the tubs, they replaced them with the euro jets now a few years ago, because too many kids were snapping off the piece at the end of the tub. I like them with the euro pulse jets a lot more.

as for price, I don't know it off the top of my head but you can go here http://www.spapartsdepot.com
and they can get them for you, I don't think they are expensive at all.....

I apid about $5 or $8 each at my dealer.

I had a customer recently put 24 of the spinners into his Tiger River Caspian. Same exact jets -

He changed back to the straight jets for the feet, but otherwise he is very happy. He said that the overall pressure went way down as a result of changing all of them like that, but I don't think there was a change in actual pressure - just a perception of change due to the drastic change in the way the jets feel.

My two euro pulse jets do not turn very well anymore.   How do I remove them without breaking the face plate?   Do they just turn a certain amount and then I can put in new rotors??
