| This page will
give you an idea of what you can do with an older spa. Using a little bit
of common sense and imagination, you can replumb your old spa shell and at the
same time, add more jets to provide a real "hydro-therapy" solution
that is more in line with todays jetted spas. These pictures show parts only,
(completed installtion examples are forthcoming). We will have a complete
installation guide up very shortly.
The two jet assemblies to the
right are designed by American Products, a major supplier of spa components to
the spa industry. Both of these jets are rotary "spinner" type
jets.

| There are 4 components of the
jet assembly, Left to Right, the jet itself, the jet housing, the gasket, and
the jet retaining ring that holds the jet housing to the spa. The jet,
simply slides into the housing and can be removed and replaced at any time in a
matter of seconds. |
|
| This is the small jet
assembly, note that basically it is the same type and construction as the large
one on the left. |

 |
| 2" six port water
manifold. They can be chained together for an unlimited number of
jets. |
|
| 1" six port air
manifold. Can be used with turbo-charging the water jets and/or providing
variable air intake into the jet venturi by attaching the top "T" to
an air adjustment knob. |

 |
 |
| Kit includes 40'
of air and water hose for ease of plumbing to the mainfolds. With the air
and water sections of the jets hooked up, simply plumb the large 2"
manifold to the discharge of the pump, filter or heater, depending on your
design. |
 |
| Just
an example of a manifold based plumbing scheme. Everything from the
manifold to the jets, both air and water are plumbed using clear flex tubing,
which is glued to the mainfold using standard pvc cement. |
 |
| If your spa shell
does not have a blower channel built into it and you want an air blower added
to it, you'll have to drill holes and plumb in air injectors, as depicted here
in this late model spa manufactured by Leisure Bay
industries. |
