Spa France

Spa France spa jets and jet components

Here you will find jets and jet trim for hot tubs and spas, covering air jets, directional jets, rotating booster jets and the escutcheons that finish them off at the shell. These are the parts that take the most handling in a spa: they are turned, pushed, scrubbed and exposed to warm water and sanitiser every day, so they are also the parts most often replaced during a refurbishment or a routine service.

The listings use the names found on the jets themselves and on exploded diagrams, such as Vari Jet, Pulse, Roto and Micro Jet, which makes it easier to match a replacement to what is already fitted in the shell rather than guessing from a photograph alone.

What the range covers

The assortment is built around the internal parts and visible faces of spa jets, in grey finishes that suit a wide span of acrylic shells.

• Air jets – the grey spa air jet for Spa France hot tubs, used for the smaller aerated jets that deliver a fine, bubbling stream rather than a concentrated massage.
• Directional jets – the standard directional spa booster jet and the Vari Jet directional hot tub massage jet, with an eyeball-style face that can be aimed at the shoulders, back or legs.
• Rotating jets – the Spaquip Roto rotating booster jet and the Pulse booster jet, where the internal nozzle spins under water pressure to give a sweeping, kneading action.
• Escutcheons and trim – the 38 mm micro jet escutcheon for Davey micro jets, the decorative ring that covers the jet body where it meets the shell.

Identifying the right jet

Spa jets are rarely marked with a readable part number once they are installed, so identification is done by measurement and by the way the jet is held in place. A few checks will usually settle it:

• Measure the visible face – take the outside diameter of the escutcheon or jet face in millimetres, which is how sizes such as 38 mm are quoted.
• Check the action – note whether the nozzle stays where it is pointed (directional) or spins freely in the water flow (rotating).
• Look for a twist action – many spa jets are retained in the wall fitting by a short twist, so the internal can be withdrawn without draining further than the jet line.
• Compare the nozzle – a single concentrated orifice behaves very differently from a multi-port or aerated face, even where the body size is shared.
• Use the diagram – where a position number is shown on an exploded view of the spa or jet assembly, match that number before ordering, as several variants often share one body.

It is always worth removing one jet from the shell and keeping it to hand while comparing. The body that is bonded into the acrylic normally stays in place; what is replaced is the internal assembly and its trim.

Where jets wear and what fails first

Rotating jets have a moving nozzle running in a bearing surface, and that is usually the first thing to go. A jet that has become noisy, that stalls partway through its rotation or that only turns when the pump is on full is near the end of its service life. Directional jets tend to fail differently: the ball seizes in its seat from scale and residue, or the retaining lugs become brittle and no longer hold the internal in place.

Escutcheons suffer cosmetically rather than mechanically. Warm water, sunlight and repeated contact dull the finish and can leave hairline cracks around the edge, which is why trim rings are often changed as a set across the whole shell so that the appearance stays even. O-rings and seals behind the jet body harden over time; measuring an old seal across the inside diameter and the section thickness before ordering avoids a second attempt.

Here we list air jets, directional and rotating booster jets and matching escutcheons in grey, so that a single jet can be refreshed or a complete shell brought back to a consistent finish. The focus is on the serviceable internals and trim rather than on whole wall fittings, because those are the parts an owner can sensibly change without cutting into the spa.

Having jets and their trim available separately keeps a working spa in service rather than leaving it half-used because two or three positions have stopped turning. Compare the face diameter, the jet action and the position number against the existing part before ordering, and keep one old jet as a reference for any further replacements.
