Weak Or Surging Jets - Jacuzzi J-315 Manual

. Weak Or Surging Jets

Weak or surging jets are usually caused by an insufficient water supply to the pump or a clogged or broken impel-
ler. The water level may simply be too low, or there may be an obstruction in the water flow path to the pump or
in the pump' s impeller. Before making a service call, ask the customer to verify that all jets are open and that there
is sufficient water in the hot tub.
