How to Replace Spa Jets: 12 Steps
A relaxing soak in a hot tub or spa can quickly turn into a source of stress when one or more of the spa jets need replacing. With these 12 easy steps, you’ll be able to replace your spa jets like a pro, ensuring you get back to enjoying your spa as soon as possible.
1. Gather necessary tools and materials: Make sure you have a wrench, replacement jets (compatible with your spa model), waterproof sealant, and a cloth.
2. Turn off the power to the spa: Safety should always come first, so ensure the power to your spa has been completely shut off before working on it.
3. Drain the spa: Remove all water from the hot tub, either by utilizing its drain or using a submersible pump. Allow it to dry completely before continuing.
4. Locate the faulty jet(s): Inspect your spa’s jet assembly and identify which jets need to be replaced.
5. Remove the outer trim ring: Using a wrench or by hand, carefully unscrew and remove the outer trim ring surrounding each faulty jet.
6. Detach jets from the housing: Gently twist each faulty jet counterclockwise until it is free from its housing.
7. Inspect the jet housings for any damage: Make sure there is no visible damage that could prevent proper functioning of the replacement jets.
8. Apply waterproof sealant: Add a thin layer of waterproof sealant around the threading on both the replacement jets and within the jet housings.
9. Attach new jets to housing: Align each replacement jet with its corresponding housing and twist clockwise until snug. Do not over-tighten, as this may damage the jet or housing.
10. Reattach outer trim rings: Carefully screw each trim ring back into place around its corresponding replacement jet. Wipe away any excess sealant with a cloth.
11. Re-fill the spa: Turn the water supply back on and fill the spa to its recommended level.
12. Restore power and test: Once the spa is full, restore power and turn it on, checking each replaced jet to ensure they are functioning properly.
After completing these 12 steps, you should have successfully replaced your faulty spa jets with brand-new ones. Enjoy your rejuvenated and stress-free spa experience!
