Fluidix Intelli-Jet Operation Details
The Fluidix Intelli-Jets in your new spa offer the advantage of no
moving parts and zero maintenance. They can also be adjusted for
a high and low impact massage, providing the ultimate massage!
Each jet has it's own water volume and directional or oscillating flow
adjustment. The jet's outer dial controls water volume (flow rate)
and it's center "mode disk" selects either an oscillating or directional
flow massage.
Fluidix Intelli-Jet Adjustment
1. Turn outer dial (A) clockwise to increase water
volume. Turn outer dial counterclockwise to
decrease water volume or to shut jet off.
2. Rotate center "mode disk" (B) clockwise to
select a non-oscillating water stream or turn
counterclockwise to select an oscillating stream
at any angle.
3. For a high impact massage, turn corresponding
air control knob clockwise. For low impact
massage, turn corresponding air control knob
counterclockwise.
Note: Always keep at least 6 adjustable jets open at
all times on each jet system.
