Above Ground Pool Return Jets

A pool return jet is a very important component to optimal circulation

After the water has gone through the full swimming pool filtration process, it can be returned to the pool using the swimming pool return fitting. The term "pool return jet" is another name for the swimming pool return fitting.


Only the skimmer, which draws in unfiltered water, and the return jet, which sends filtered water back, are present in above-ground pools. When it comes to circulating filtered water in a swimming pool, having just one intake going to the pump and one outlet coming from the filter is not optimal.


For a swimming pool to function effectively and efficiently, all its components must interact together.

It takes more than just adding the right chemicals to keep the water clean.

Contrary to popular belief, pool return jets are more important than most people realize, as they help maintain both the water's quality and the overall health of all the components of your pool.


Circulating the water efficiently is crucial to keeping your pool healthy.


There are no dead spots in the pool when the water is properly circulated.

The accumulation of fine grit, the appearance of algae, and the accumulation of calcium deposits along the waterline are all telltale signs of dead areas.


When most pools have an average of 2 to 3 pool returns, the above ground pool is at a disadvantage when only having one pool return jet to properly circulate a large area of water.


The Circulator gives all pools and especially above ground pools a great advantage in achieving a healthy, fully circulated pool with only one pool return jet. The Circulator greatly enhances the return flow by increasing circulation by up to 1500%. This means no dead areas of no chemicals, or no more cold areas in your heated pool. Chemicals are thrusted down to the floor of the pool and throughout the entire pool. This action gets all your expensive chemicals where they need to be and not just inches below the surface where a good percentage gets lost through evaporation.


The Circulator return jet is the best solution and a “must” for all above ground pools to sparkle with crystal clear healthy water.
