Title: Replacing jets. Is this hard to do?
Post by: Pers Onal on January 17, 2014, 09:35:24 am
My tired 13 year old hydro-spa has several - what I call whirly gig jets, I am sure that is nowhere near the correct name.

These are about 2 and 3/8 ", have one hole on the outer edge that rotates if the pump is on.

These give a very pleasant "kneading" massage action. A little on the heavy side but that works beautifully for me.

I have eliminated several spas from consideration because they lack these type of jets, and are just a nozzle.

However, I saw a thread here on changing jets on a Caldera.

Are jets normally easy to change out by a handy consumer? I assumed it would get into gluing pvc piping, which I did not want to get into.

Any input appreciated

Most spas these days seem to have easily removeable jets.

Twist, pull, replace.

They come in different sizes and a number of manufacturers offer multiple jet styles that can fit in each spot.

On my spa there are at least 4 sizes of jets and more than that types of jets that can be moved around.
