What is the difference between an inlet nozzle and a skimmer?

The skimmer is where water leaves the pool to go to the pump and filter (suction side). The inlet nozzle is where the cleaned water returns to the pool (pressure side).

How do I know if my pool inlet nozzle is working correctly?

When the pump is running, you should see and feel a steady flow of water coming from the nozzle. Weak flow can indicate a clog, pump issue, or dirty filter.

Can a pool inlet nozzle be used for a vacuum?

No. Inlet nozzles are on the pressure side. Manual pool vacuums connect to the suction side, typically at the skimmer or a dedicated vacuum port.

Pool Inlet Nozzle

Q: Why is water coming out of my inlet nozzle cloudy?

Cloudy water exiting the nozzle indicates an issue with filtration or water chemistry, not the nozzle itself (e.g., dirty filter, media replacement needed, or imbalance).

Q: How do I remove a stripped or broken inlet nozzle?

If threads are stuck, try a nozzle removal tool. If that fails, a pool professional may need to carefully cut or drill out the remaining piece without damaging the threaded fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

A pool inlet nozzle is another term for a pool return jet or return fitting. It is the point where water re-enters the pool after being filtered and heated. The term 'inlet' accurately describes its function: letting water into the pool.

The skimmer is where water leaves the pool to go to the pump and filter (the suction side). The inlet nozzle is where the cleaned water returns to the pool (the pressure side). They work together as part of the circulation system.

They are commonly made from durable, chemical-resistant ABS plastic. For higher-end or commercial applications, they can also be made from stainless steel or chrome-plated brass.

When the pump is running, you should see and feel a steady flow of water coming from the nozzle. If the flow is weak or non-existent, it could indicate a clog in the return line, a problem with the pump, or a dirty filter. A properly adjusted nozzle helps create good surface movement.

No, inlet nozzles are on the pressure side of the system. A manual pool vacuum connects to the suction side, typically at the skimmer or a dedicated vacuum port (suction line).

Cloudy water exiting the nozzle indicates that the water returning from the filter is not clean. The issue is with your filtration or water chemistry, not the nozzle itself. The filter may be dirty, the media may need replacing, or the water chemistry is out of balance, causing particles to remain suspended.

If the nozzle is broken and the threads are stuck, you can try using a nozzle removal tool designed for this purpose. If that fails, a pool professional may need to carefully cut or drill out the remaining piece, being extremely careful not to damage the threaded fitting in the pool wall.
