Balboa Water Group Micro Jet - Manual (Page 2)

Micro Jet Application Recommendations
Thoroughly read and understand these application recommendations and installation instructions before
installing the Micro Jet.
While installation is simple, there are many variables with each spa manufacturer’s process that are
beyond BWG’s control. Therefore we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that every OEM thoroughly test the
application of this jet before using it on their production line.
The design of the Micro Jet creates a seal at the front (acrylic side) of the spa. There are advantages to
sealing at the front of the spa.
Acrylic is an optimal smooth sealing surface, much better than sealing from the back of the jet. UÊ
Sealing at the inside of the spa wall can prevent potential leaks or fiberglass delamination. UÊ
To fully gain these advantages, the mounting surface must be flat and clean. UÊ
Examine the drilling process. The hole must not be drilled larger than 1 5/8 inch in diameter.
Do not allow the hole saw to “work or walk” during drilling! This could produce a hole that is off
center or not round. Ensure that your hole saw is sharp. A dull hole saw will create excessive heat. The
excessive heat will cause the acrylic to curl up at the edge of the hole, leaving a burr. These conditions
will impede the sealing process.
