My home has a simple jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. I haven't really freely used it since I'm so naive about how it should be operated. My concern comes from two intakes that sit higher in the tub from the jets. These intakes have screw fittings that can be adjusted to let in more air. What I wonder about is whether water should be allowed to freely pass through these intakes. I would rather not damage the system if I can help it and I'm not sure about the recommended operation. I could see a few scenarios:
1. The intake can be submerged in water and water may travel through it freely.
2. The intake's valve should be adjusted to allow mostly air to travel through it. If some water gets through it that should be fine, but recommended operation is to allow only air through.
3. Strictly only air should go through this intake. If any water is near it reduce the water level in the tub.
The motor itself works off a timer and I'm pretty impressed by how powerful the motor is. I would feel most comfortable letting as much water through these intakes as possible since the intakes basically sit right where I like the water level. If the manufacturer really hoped for no water to get in to them why not just have them outside the tub? Thanks for any guidance.
