Which style jets do I have in my spa..??

Adam Miller

If you need to replace a jet on your Canadian Spa hot tub, the first step is identifying exactly which style is fitted to your spa. Canadian Spa hot tubs use a few different jet families across models and years, and the right replacement depends on getting the style, the fitting type and the size correct. This guide walks you through how to identify what you’ve got, lists every current part number, and explains what to do once you know.

The three main jet styles

Canadian Spa hot tubs are fitted with one of three main jet families, depending on model and production year:

  • Hurricane, push-fit jets with a chrome and black outer ring. The diffuser pushes into the housing rather than screwing in.
  • Black Ice, screw-in jets with a chrome outer ring and black nozzle. The diffuser threads into the housing.
  • Black Ice Moon, newer screw-in jets with a chrome and black outer ring. Updated design used on more recent models.

The fitting type (push-fit vs screw-in) is the easiest way to tell Hurricane apart from the Black Ice and Black Ice Moon families. The size matters within each family, measure across the visible chrome ring (outer diameter) before ordering.

Hurricane jets (push-fit)

Black Ice threaded diffusers

Some Black Ice jets use a different style of threaded diffuser. It’s worth removing the jet so you can match the style for your specific spa. The three diffuser variants are:

Black Diffuser 1 — straight inline thread Black Diffuser 2 — outer thread Clear Diffuser — smaller embedded

  • Black Diffuser 1, straight inline thread (pre-2020)
  • Black Diffuser 2, outer thread (V1)
  • Clear Diffuser, smaller embedded (V2)

Black Ice Moon jets (newer screw-in)

Black Ice Moon jets are the more recent screw-in design, with a chrome and black outer ring. They come in directional and massage versions.

How to identify your jet style

  1. Refer to your owner’s manual. The manual for your specific Canadian Spa model usually breaks down the jet types and features.
  2. Examine the jet itself. Look at the housing and the fitting type, does the diffuser push in (Hurricane) or thread in (Black Ice / Black Ice Moon)? Single nozzle (directional) or multi-hole (massage)?
  3. Measure the outer diameter across the visible chrome ring. Use the measuring guide image at the top of this page as a reference.
  4. Remove the jet if you need to confirm the diffuser style, particularly important on Black Ice models, where three different diffuser variants exist.
  5. Contact the Canadian Spa team with your model number and what you’ve identified, we’ll confirm the right replacement part before you order.

If a jet is weak rather than broken, check the simpler causes first with our jets not working guide.

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell if my jets are push-fit or screw-in?

Try gently turning the diffuser. Hurricane push-fit jets won’t rotate, they pull straight out with firm, even pressure. Black Ice and Black Ice Moon jets unscrew anti-clockwise. Don’t force anything; if you can’t tell, contact the support team for guidance.

What’s the difference between Black Ice and Black Ice Moon?

The Moon series is the more recent design with a slightly different outer ring profile and a single clear threaded diffuser across the range. The two aren’t interchangeable, so identify which you have before ordering.

Can I replace just the nozzle, or do I need the whole jet?

Most replacements are the visible jet face (the part that comes off when you remove the diffuser). The housing inside the spa shell stays in place. The team can confirm what’s included with each part number.

What if I’m not sure which jet I have?

Send a photograph of the jet (face-on and side-on, ideally with a tape measure across the outer diameter), plus your spa model and approximate purchase year, to the support team via the link below. They’ll identify the correct part for you before you order.

Do older spa jets still have replacement parts available?

Yes, including the pre-2020 Black Diffuser 1 (KK-11381) which is still stocked. Canadian Spa Company UK supports parts availability for current and older models, one of the practical advantages of buying from an established brand.

Once you’ve identified your jet

Once you know which style and size you have, contact our team to order the correct replacement, or raise a support ticket if you’d like guidance. For other ongoing maintenance and water care, see our filter and water care range, and if your cover has seen better days, browse our replacement covers.

Measuring correctly

  • Measure straight across the face at the widest point of the chrome ring.
  • Use a ruler or tape in inches, as the parts are listed in inches.
  • Round to the nearest size in the list. For example, about 2.25 inches is the 2.25" Hurricane, not the 2".
  • Write down the hole count and whether the face turns or pulls out.

Replacing a jet face, step by step

  1. Switch the spa off at the isolator.
  2. For screw-in jets, turn the face anti-clockwise. For push-fit jets, grip the face evenly and pull straight out.
  3. Check the housing for grit or broken pieces and rinse it out.
  4. Fit the new face: screw it in clockwise until it is snug, or push it in until it seats evenly.
  5. Switch the spa on and run the jets to check it works and does not rattle.

Do not use tools that could scratch the acrylic. If the face is stuck, stop and contact us rather than forcing it.
