Jets run but are weak or uneven; some seats have little to no pressure.

Possible Causes

Dirty or clogged filters, Air lock in plumbing, Partially closed diverter valves, Debris in jet bodies or suction fittings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing filters or jets.

  • Clean or remove filters: Take out all filters and run the spa briefly. If jet strength improves, clean or replace the filters.
  • Adjust diverter valves: Rotate any diverter valves to direct flow to the desired seats. Ensure they are not stuck between positions.
  • Clean jets: Many Hot Spring jets can be twisted and pulled out. Soak them in a descaling solution to remove calcium buildup, then reinstall.
  • Check for air locks: After a refill, run pumps on high and open all air controls to purge air from the lines.
