Inground pool jets - which way should they point?

I have a 16 x 36 inground pool.  Should the jet in the shallow end be blowing water at the bottom of the pool or the top of the water?  The jet in the deep end is blowing on the top of the water.  My problem is that things don’t get into my skimmer, they just stay on the water even though the skimmer is pulling in water.

Thank you for contacting Inyo. There isn’t a universal way to set the jets because every pool is different. Most of the time, the jets are forcing water in one direction so that it creates a current. You’ll have to experiment with them until you get the desired result.
