This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen on KZbin for pool hydraulics. Pool service pro for past 15 years and I wish I could have learned this stuff in depth like this video shows when I first started. Well done Justin 👏🏻

[@NCHAFLOQUE]

I just save $2000 thanks to you and I fixed a 8 month problem that 4 company’s couldn’t fix. Thanks

[@mastershredder2002]

Companies.

I am so impressed. Wishing you were here to help me with my pool in Texas. People like you are hard to find, if not impossible.

[@greghuber7074]

One of the best practical videos on hydraulics I’ve seen!

[@HotrodPlumbing]

the amount of time and research gone into this is very entertaining and informative for a DIY guy, to understand pool plumbing. very cool!

[@misspandesal]

This was the coolest video and demonstration of pool water flow! Amazing, outstanding, spectacular job in explaining the process.

[@EZ-ProTexture]

Phenomenal video, great teaching prop, excellent instruction. Technical and thorough.

[@mountain-roots]

Brilliant, thank your for you time to construct and show this off. Really cool.

[@tonyfontana8222]

Well done!

[@coasttal123]

As a mechanical engineer, I LOVE this.

[@Buildingstuff123]

Great demonstration. 👍 I build pools, and the plumbing is my favorite portion of the jobs.

[@Ryan-Chicago]

Love the dedication to the craft!

[@79SteelyMatt]

This guy is awesome-so great to see a dedicated smart technician that knows his trade-would love to have him come work at our company-where are you guys located?

[@HairExperience]

Bad ass video ! Ive been wanting to build a spa to my pool and that was great info ! Thank you!!

[@risedDI]

Great video! I think i'm better at pool installation now!

[@restlichtman]

This is an exceptional video

[@lxmoreorless]

Great detail! Have you seen where only one jet (2nd furthest from equip) stopped theropy, rather is slightly sucking water? Trying to troubleshoot and looking for guidance. Thanks

[@patricia7606]

Omg, this is BRILLIANT! Thank you

[@stevenalonzo5869]

At the end of the video, what line in the 3way valve did you open up to give it more of a “ therapeutic action” on the jets?

[@ncpinnaclepoolservice4695]

Extremely impressive!

[@michaelplates]

Very impressive lab scenario

[@jimbenson9057]

This was an excellent video!

[@coder6083]

Amazing video! I'm having a pool built right now. They have installed a Hartford loop, but there is only 1/2" to T.O.C. What do you do to correct for this?

[@abrahamabraham1384]

THANKS FOR VIDEO as I'm planning on redoing my inground pool with a spa on the side so I'm doing my research from the ground up to know what pipes & system to go with that will last me I'm a new subscriber as i appreciate ur knowledge on these videos that will help me make a a better decision when that time comes Any advice u recommend on this process when it comes to planning & hiring a contractor that I should b asking

[@tillmansr2002]

Great video. When you say the work 'therepies' what are you referring to?

[@josevindiola6548]

Good stuff helped me understand my system more thanks.

[@antonyflores7533]

Hello Justin, could you make a video of how the air line works for a Jacuzzi? I would appreciate it blessings

[@rikgto9351]

Finally Found best video

[@hannibalpixel]

love the vids brother, i always wanted to learn and this helps a lot for those seeking knowledge, how about electrical? like lights that change color and so, are you able to hook them into external lights that match the color changing?

[@squeekhobby4571]

Superb tutorial.

[@isaaclarranaga]

Good job !! Thank you.

[@BrentMiller-ec6yy]

That is Awesome! we are making something similar at our warehouse. You guys must be some great horseshoe players - if i played there it would get expensive fast...

[@GTor1226]

This is awesome. How much did it cost to build? i want one in my backyard

[@guadalupetorres2760]

I hadn’t never see clear pipe Ben use in a pool😮

[@sienright]

Thank You Sir!

[@alessandrozoppi8597]

Best video about pool plumbing. But why no more videos 😢? I would like to learn something about the air blower installation.... That would be super... Thanks man

[@akr6837]

I have a spa connected to my pool with 6 jets but when I turn the spa on only 3 jets are working. When I turn on the blower all 6 jets are blowing air. To me, seems like I have a clog that doesn't allow the water to the other 3 jets. If that's the case how can I unclog to allow all 6 jets to work? (BTW I put my hand over the non-working jets and it seems like its sucking air in) I appreciate any feedback. This video taught me how everything is set up. Thank you!

[@earlcharles7463]

Hey great demo. But I couldn’t understand how the therapy line is installed. Please explain ?

[@daverude417]

Can a venturi tee be installed vertically or does the air hole have to be pointing up

[@62impalalove36]

Do I need a spa pump for my spa? Or can I use my new VSF3 flow pump to work for my spa and pool?

[@herbertperez4082]

Why does it sound like there is water inside of the line in some pool spa jet lines and dont want to work unless you blow air in the air suction side?

[@AlkebulanWarrior]

I'm building a natural pool with water fall what's the best way to run pvc? If I send a picture can you help?

[@62impalalove36]

Hey brother I just had an inground spa built 1/2 side of my spot has high pressure coming out the Jets and the other Have side of my spa seems to lose pressure and the Jets are much weaker I’m thinking it’s a plumbing issue anything you can recommend?

[@Blankishful]

Thank you sir

[@judymarburger5852]

Need your expertise please. We are in the process of building a stand alone built in spa. Approximately 9x7. Pool builder is telling me I need 2 pumps because I want 2 levels for the jets, initially he said because I had too many / 11, I said reduce to 8: apparently now because of the 2 levels. Does that sound right? 4th time building pool/spa -we had 2because of the combo, doesn’t sound right and I think they are trying to gouge me

[@mauricemeadows1005]

Where are you located

[@michaelleas1243]

My in ground fiberglas spa is a 150' away with a 2" line from my 2hp pump, filter, and heater. A bit more than 5". If you lived in Arizona I'd hire you to come and assess my system. I have 2 hi-flo returns in the footwell of my spa, are they connected to the skimmer? Looks like you live in Glendale Az. Thanks for sharing exactly what I had been searching for...

[@PoolPlumbingTips]

by "hi-flo returns" do you mean the spa jets or the spa main drains? Either way, no, they shouldnt be connected to the pool-skimmer. They are 2 separate lines. :)

[@michaelleas1243]

@@PoolPlumbingTips Thanks for the reply. I have replaced the "suction line in my in ground acrylic spa. As best as I can tell the skimmer is connected to the 2 suction ports in the bottom of my spa, confirmed using a 39" line camera. I'm in the process of re-foaming the 5' section I replaced. Once that is completed, I will be reinstalling the acrylic sections I cut out to gain access to said suction line. Ended up doing this myself due to the fact that no one in the repair business wanted to attempt this job. Chicken Chits...

[@michaelleas1243]

Thanks Justin. I was a plumber for the City of Glendale for 15 years, I'd run across many plumbing problems in that amount of time. I've been retired for 9 years and was a little intimidated by the scope of the repair. The 2" flex line was a cause for concern as it was tough to get a square cut on a curved line. Just took my time. The first time I did the repair in place with the wrong glue. Tested leaked. Removed and bench built the section I needed, much easier when it's sitting right in front of me, plus the correct glue set much faster, Red Hot Blue Glue. Your video was exactly what I needed to see, though there were some differences between what you demoed and my set up, but it was the only one to explain the basic design on the net. Thank-you...

[@earlcharles7463]

@@michaelleas1243 can you advise me why water coming through my air valve ?

[@michaelleas1243]

@@earlcharles7463 Air valve on your filter, or an air valve on your spa? The air release valve on my filter is used to release air from the system during start-up an amount of water will jet out of the valve after the air has purged itself. At that point I shut the valve to stop water flow, a bad o-ring will allow water to escape during start-up, and allow air to get sucked in during the running of the pump even when closed. Air suction valve on a spa blowing water might be a water level that is too high. I'm also learning about the why's and way's of a spa. The company that built my spa has been out of business for I'm assuming 15 years, and the former owner of my home never passed along any info or booklets on a spa he had installed and that I have now owned for 8 years...

Lol its dripping

Tout ça pour l'humain, vive la mer et les poissons 😂😂😂

[@luaking84]

It's not therapy though, is it? Aren't the jets just for enjoyment? Therapy sounds like a good sales angle. Maybe that's the industry term, I dunno.
