Caldera Spas Reduced Jet Flow / Hydraulic Restriction

Jets are weak, or some seats have very little water pressure.

Possible Causes

Dirty or partially clogged filter, air lock in plumbing, diverter valve not positioned correctly, partially blocked jet nozzles.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: You can perform most of these steps with the power on, but keep hands away from moving parts.

  • Clean filter: Remove and thoroughly rinse the Caldera filter cartridge.
  • Check diverter valves: Slowly rotate any diverter valves through their full range to direct flow to different seats and find the strongest position.
  • Bleed air: Turn pumps on and off several times to purge air. Slightly crack open unions at the pump (with power off) if needed to release trapped air.
  • Clean jets: Remove individual jet inserts (if your model allows), soak them in a descaling solution to remove calcium buildup, then reinstall them.
