Where to get them? What are they? I've read the term, and I know they are jets to circulate water but are they tips that go on pipe, can you adjust them?

From another forum:

TPR, Tangential Pond Return. Water from your skimmer and/or filtration flows back to the pond through these. They are usually placed 2' above the bottom and every 2' up the side of the pond to return the water. They are pointed at an angle to cause the water to swirl in the pond, pushing the debris to the bottom drains much like a toilet works. They also cause currents in the pond to build muscle when the fish swim through the current.

here are links to buy them

Your welcome, I just did a quick look, seems there are slightly different varieties you can buy. Good idea for a koi type pond.
