To install the Balboa Hand Held Jet, first ensure that your pool's plumbing is compatible. Connect the jet to the designated water outlet in the pool wall, securing it with the appropriate fittings. Make sure all connections are watertight to prevent leaks.
Check the water pump to ensure it is functioning correctly and that there are no obstructions in the plumbing. Also, inspect the jet for any debris or clogs that might be reducing water flow.
Routinely check for clogs and clean the jet nozzle with a soft brush. Regularly inspect the seals and gaskets for wear and replace them as needed to maintain a watertight seal.
Yes, the Balboa Hand Held Jet is compatible with saltwater pools. However, regular maintenance is recommended to prevent salt buildup and corrosion.
When not in use, store the jet in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. If possible, disassemble the jet and ensure all components are dry before storage to prevent mold and mildew.
Inspect the connection for damaged or worn-out seals. Replace any faulty seals and ensure that all fittings are tightened properly. If leaks persist, consult a professional for further inspection.
Turn off the water supply and remove the jet. Clean the area on both the jet and pool wall to remove any debris or buildup. Reattach the jet securely using appropriate fittings and test for stability before use.
Use a mild detergent mixed with water to clean the jet. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material. Rinse thoroughly with clear water after cleaning.
Perform a visual inspection of the jet every month, checking for leaks, cracks, or build-up. More detailed maintenance should be done every six months or as needed based on usage.
Signs that the jet needs to be replaced include persistent leaks, reduced water pressure that cannot be resolved with cleaning, and visible cracks or damage to the jet body.
