Waterway Snap in jet / Mini storm

30 May

 

Waterway Snap-in jets came in several styles and sizes. Cluster storm, Mini storm, Poly storm, and Power storm. The Mini storm snap in jet is pictured. Snap in jets have been replaced with “thread in ” jets, however they are not interchangeable. The (jet body) determines what style jet will fit. The snap in jet diffuser (rear part) may have the number 218-6930 engraved on it.        Snap in body is pictured below .

212-0310

No matter what style (faceplate and color) Mini storm jet you had you may need to replace it with the only color and style that is still produced, Sterling Silver (almost white and directional).

The Mini Storm snap in style jet part number is 212-7929-STS at

http://www.waterwayparts.com

Replacing the jet body to convert to the thread in style requires a lot of plumbing work.

Sterling Silver is the color on the right. This directional style jet is the only replacement for Mini Storm. Roto, twin roto, massage, galaxy, multi massage, and massage are no longer available.

What’s a weir?

27 Nov

The “weir” is the flapper door on your thru wall skimmer. The weir serves three basic functions:

(1) It prevents debris from flowing back out into the pool once it’s captured, essentially functioning like a check value.

(2) It moderates the flow into the skimmer as water rises and falls so that it receives enough water to function, but not so much that it floods.

(3) It ensures that the top ½ inch of water flows into the skimmer.(that is where all the dirt starts)

 

Skimmer weir doors are specific to each manufacturer. These examples are for both standard and widemouth aboveground pool Waterway skimmers.  In-ground Waterway Renegade skimmers use a different part number. All skimmer weir doors,and skimmer baskets are available at http://www.waterwayparts.com

Replace spa jet diffuser?

13 Jan

Replacing the jet diffuser can be a good option if the tabs that hold the jet into the housing are broken and the rest of the diffuser looks in good condition. If the diffuser is flaking and becoming brittle it is recommended to replace the entire jet. Why? If the diffuser is deteriorating then the rest of the jet internals including the bearings probably are too. This is caused by low Alkalinity, pH or Calcium. The white residue that is coming of the diffuser isn’t usually scale but the plastic deteriorating. In this case replacing the diffuser may be a short term fix, but you will most likely need a new jet soon.
