To give your swimming pool the best filtration you should point your return jet away from your skimmer and downward to get the best circulation and filtration. The top few inches of your pool is usually the dirtiest and for your pump to clean properly it is best to keep the water calm on the top of the water.
Similarly, you may ask, how should I aim my return jets in my pool?
It's good practice to point your return jet in a direction that will spin the water in your pool, hence, circulate. If your pool only has one jet, it's a good idea to point the jet to the opposite side of your skimmer and downwards.
Similarly one may ask, what direction should the Jets in a swimming pool be pointed?
- Most people like to point the jets in a unified direction, clockwise or counterclockwise.
- Conventional wisdom dictates that most pool owners should point the jets up to create vigorous ripples in the water.
- Your skimmer(s) are designed to skim surface area.
