so where would you put a T to run the motor and pump off of a water hose with out disconnecting the jet?

You can cut in where the valve is (blue line from the pump in the drawing). It's the same thing as when the water is being supplied from the pump, but you use the hose instead. Don't apply too much pressure though. Around 10-15 lbs should be plenty. Probably a quarter turn or so on the spigget. The motor should be started prior to turning on the hose, and when shutting down, turn the water off first, then shut off the motor. Just to be on the safe side.
I wouldn't run it too long with the pump connected and no water going through it. A minute or two should be o.k. I usually won't run mine for more than a few seconds, and for that you don't need the hose.
