Paramount 004-252-3032-01 Threaded Downjet Return, White
Drive the debris. Sweep the floor.
The Paramount Threaded Downjet (SKU PST-004252303201, MPN 004-252-3032-01) is the threaded white return nozzle that finishes your Paramount in-floor cleaning system at the pool wall and floor. It threads into the cleaning head body, locks the eyeball at the angle you set, and aims a focused jet of return water that pushes dirt and debris toward the main drain. Swap a cracked, sun-faded, or missing downjet for a fresh white assembly and you restore both the look of the pool and the sweeping pattern the system was designed to deliver.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Directs Return Flow
The downjet aims a strong, narrow jet of return water across the pool floor so loose dirt and leaves get pushed toward the main drain instead of settling.
Adjustable Eyeball
The captive eyeball lets you point the jet exactly where you need it. Aim it along the floor for debris sweeping or toward a dead spot to wake up stagnant water.
Threaded For Easy Swap
Threads into the existing Paramount cleaning head body so you can replace a cracked or stained jet without disturbing the surrounding pool finish.
Pool-Grade Materials
Molded from UV-stable polymer built to live underwater. Resists chlorine, salt, and sun without going brittle or yellowing the way generic plastic does.
Tight Faceplate Seal
The included faceplate sits flush against the pool surface, hides the threaded body, and keeps grout and plaster debris out of the return line.
Matched OEM Fit
Genuine Paramount Pool and Spa Systems part. Drops straight into existing 004-252-3032 bodies, no shimming or thread tape gymnastics required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 004-252-3032-01 and the other Paramount downjet colors?
The 01 suffix is the white downjet. The same body is sold in seven other colors with different suffix codes, including 02 gray, 03 black, 04 taupe, 05 blue, 06 light blue, 07 beige, and 08 light gray. Pick the color that matches your existing returns so the pool reads as one finish, not a checkerboard.
How is this different from the slip-style downjet (004-252-3020)?
This 004-252-3032 jet is the threaded version that screws into a threaded cleaning head body. The 004-252-3020 part is the slip-style jet that glues into a smooth socket. They are not interchangeable, so check the existing body in your pool floor or wall before ordering.
Will this work with my Paramount in-floor cleaning system?
It fits Paramount in-floor cleaning systems that use the threaded downjet body. If your current jets thread out by hand or with the Paramount tool and look like the part shown, this is the correct replacement. If they pull straight out without unscrewing, you have the slip-style and need 004-252-3020 instead.
Can I install this myself?
Yes. With the pump off, unscrew the old downjet from the cleaning head body, drop the new assembly into the opening, and hand thread it in until the faceplate sits flush. Aim the eyeball along the pool floor toward the main drain. Do not use a wrench or pipe tools, the threads are soft polymer and will strip if over-torqued.
Why are my downjets fading or turning yellow?
Chlorine, sun, and saltwater eventually break down the surface of any plastic fitting. White downjets tend to show it first. If your jets look chalky, cracked, or are missing the eyeball, replace them as a set so the pool floor pattern looks consistent and the sweep action stays even.
