A spa jet replacement system uses a hollow tubular positioning sleeve having an opening located proximate a first end thereof. A spa jet is inserted into the first end of the sleeve and the sleeve is inserted into the nozzle system of a spa until the opening of the sleeve aligns with an air inlet of the nozzle system, thereby positioning the spa jet upstream of the air flow of the spa fluid system. The outside diameter of the sleeve approximates the pipe(s) of the nozzle into which the sleeve is inserted so that the sleeve is friction held in place after insertion. A longitudinal slit may be located on the sleeve for ease of insertion.
