Identify a Replacement Hot Tub Jet – how?
Hot tub jets are an important part of your hot tub experience. They provide the massage and relaxation that you’re looking for. But over time, jets can wear out and need to be replaced.
If you’re not sure how to identify a replacement hot tub jet, don’t worry. We’re here to help. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps you need to take to identify the right jet for your hot tub.
Step 1: Remove the Jet
The first step is to remove the jet from your hot tub. This is usually a pretty straightforward process, but you may need to consult your hot tub’s owner’s manual for specific instructions.
Step 2: Take Pictures
Once the jet is removed, you’ll need to take some pictures of it. Make sure to get a close-up of the face of the jet, as well as the back of the jet where the diffuser is located. You may also want to take a picture of the entire jet, just in case.
Step 3: Measure the Jet
In addition to pictures, you’ll also need to measure the diameter of the front face of the jet. This is important because jets come in different sizes, and you need to get a jet that is the same size as the one you’re replacing.
Step 4: Identify the Jet
Once you have the pictures and measurements, you’re ready to start shopping for a replacement jet. You can usually find replacement jets at your local hot tub dealer or online.
When shopping for a replacement jet, be sure to match the part number of the old jet with the new jet. This is the best way to ensure that you’re getting the right jet for your hot tub.
If you’re not sure what part number you need, you can show the pictures and measurements you took to your local hot tub dealer or a hot tub repair technician. They should be able to help you identify the correct replacement jet for your hot tub.
Here are some additional tips for identifying a replacement hot tub jet:
- Determine the brand and model of your hot tub. This information will help you narrow down your choices when shopping for a replacement jet.
- Look for the part number of the jet on the diffuser. The diffuser is the part of the jet that screws into the hot tub shell.
- Measure the diameter of the front face of the jet. This measurement is important because jets come in different sizes.
- If you can’t find the part number of the jet or measure the diameter, you can try taking a picture of the jet to your local hot tub dealer or a hot tub repair technician. They should be able to help you identify the correct replacement jet for your hot tub.
