SPA Jets don't always create high pressure

I need some advice.  We have a pool with an attached spa.  Whenever we switch the system into spa mode everything works correctly the water is recirculating inside the spa as it should.  However, 8 out of 10 times the jets don't create enough pressure to become "jets" water is flowing out but not at high pressure.  Oddly enough, I have discovered if I lower the amount of water in the spa the jets pressurize every time.  For the life of me I can't figure out the science behind this or where the problem lies.  Pump is only a few months old and it was doing this before the new pump as well.  Filter is new, valves are new same result.  Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this issue?  Thanks!

Aaronmc52,

From what it sounds like but I am still not 100% sure on this. But I think you have an air venturi problem. Because you lower the water allowing the air to be sucked into the lines creating more pressure. But when it fills up it can not. Just throwing something out in the wind maybe it might make sense. Do you have air valves next to the spa?
