Coleman Return Jet hack

How to take a straight return and make it directional.

[@aaronfickling2431]

10/10 needed this to confirm the covers comes off. I gave up but now I know it does indeed come off! 😂

This was absolutely the best option for what I wanted!!! Thank you for the idea, just paid 10 bucks at Ace and used wire cutters to snip all the grill out! Working like a charm!

I've had the same complaint. Our old pool had the angle spout already to circulate the pool. This seems like a dumb oversight on Colemans design. A pool really needs some kind of circulation to help move the particles around to the strainers or skimmers. Good job.

This is what I was looking for good job bro

That return cover You just destroyed is Designed To aerate the pool

[@regularguyfixes3142]

Nice

[@ladonnarudh9269]

Can I ask... how in the world did you get that cover off? I've looked everywhere. Do you just pop it off or does it unscrew? I feel like I'm going to break it everytime I try. TIA

[@jbowyersr]

There is a little tiny screw. Once you take that out the cover screws off.

I'm pretty sure thats the inlet.. the grate prevents people (kids) from putting stuff in there. the two smaller hole are the return..

[@hankturner9461]

On the coleman pools the B ports are the 2 inlets back to the pump and the A port is the return for the water to go back in the pool from the pump.

[@MR2004SRT4]

@@hankturner9461 I don't get how that makes any sense. To have two small hoses sucking in water and large opening with a grate jetting it back in. Two holes are uncovered creating a safety hazard. Hair, debris, and worst of all little bodies. It does not take much suction at all to hold a small child (obviously should be supervised anyway). The smaller holes make much more sense as return jets.

Do you remember the size adapter and tube you used?

[@jbowyersr]

I don't. I based it off the jet cover. It's either 1 1/4 or 1 1/2

[@melissaballance7748]

what size pool adapter did you have ?

[@jbowyersr]

I'm not sure. It's the 22 foot by 52 inch deep pool. It's the stock return.

[@michellem5477]

What size was that piece that went into the cover

[@jbowyersr]

The plumbing piece is 1 1/4. Typical residential p-trap part

[@ivanvillalobos1610]

Which pump do u have?
