A Note from the Director

 

We get asked this question a lot…Why doesn’t my spa nozzle adjust?  

 

From the desk of the Pool Guys!

 

  1. Texas Drive Spas: The indoor spa allows you to adjust water pressure by turning the nozzles inside the water. However, the outdoor spa does not feature adjustable nozzles.
  2. Cowan Creek Spa: To control bubbles and sound, adjust the two nozzles located on each side. Note that water circulation continues even when bubbles are turned off.
  3. The Retreat and Northpoint Spas: Unfortunately, water pressure in these spas cannot be adjusted. Please avoid attempting adjustments to prevent damage or nozzle detachment.

 

Just like with our pools, we kindly ask that you rinse off before dipping into the spas. We'd hate for all that suntan lotion to clog up the nozzles! 

 

Enjoy your time at the spas!

 

Stay Fabulous and Fit,

Michelle Mason

Director of Fitness
