Spa spillover weak jets, cant use with everthing on

9 years ago

We just got a new inground fiberglass pool with spill over spa with 8 jets, waterfall and 2 deck jets. The spa jets are not very strong. Also, we cannot even use everything together. when turning on the pool filter, spa, water fall and deck jets and spillover spa, the spa jets are so weak you cannot feel them. I have just spent 50k and I am about to dump another 20k into concrete. I am really upset about this. Installer acts like this is normal. what is wrong?

There is a reason that 98% of pools in Florida are inground concrete. The easy answer would be a larger pump, but the piping would have to be designed for it. Fix it now while you can. I would have installed multiple pumps to begin with.

Why did you only go with one pump? Can you not operate the items separately even with one pump, is it all or nothing??
