    Default Pool Jet Direction?

    I recently purchased a home with an inground pool. My question is one that has probably addressed in the past so please be patient with me. I am not sure how to aim my pool jets. Should I aim the toward the surface encouraging a counterclockwise rotation toward the skimmer or should I direct the jets toward the pool bottom to keep sediment from accumulating? Any help would be appreciated.

    Either way. Depends. How is that for an answer!

    Here is what I do.
    If there is a lot of floating debris, I aim the jet towards the surface to encourage rotation towards the skimmer. If there is a lot of debris on the floor, I aim it downward but again towards the side to try to get it all in the center where it will be easier to vacuum it up.

    You will soon learn what works best for your pool.

    Appreciate the comment. I guess I will experiment and see what works best for our pool. Thanks again.
