Return jets
The jets should all point in the same direction, ideally at a 45-degree angle that’s directed toward the bottom of the pool. One way to remember it: Point the jets at 4 o’clock or 7 o’clock and ensure that the jets are not pushing water toward the skimmers.
What direction should my return Jets face?
Most people like to point the jets in a unified direction, clockwise or counterclockwise. On older pools, return jets might have been built on one side or end of the pool with the skimmer opposite the return jets.
Should pool water circulate clockwise or counterclockwise?
Answer: Whether the flow is clockwise or counterclockwise does not matter in terms of circulation. When you start from a stagnant position, the flow is influenced by the direction, the flow and the velocity of the return jets.

Should pool pump run continuously?

How do I circulate my pool water?

How do I increase circulation in my pool?

What height should pool returns be positioned?
Though returns have traditionally been placed 12 to 18 inches below the water’s surface, more professionals are recommending that they be installed closer to the floor.
Why am I getting bubbles coming out of my pool jets?
