Genesis Blower
Note
The standard version of the Genesis air blower is constructed for use on whirlpools, spas and similar applica-
tions for private use only. The Genesis air blower is not constructed for use together with a separate portable
mat and must never be used as a portable unit.
Dry-out functions
The blower has manual and automatic dry-out functions which are controlled by a timer.
1. Manual
function:
When the blower has been switched off after a bath, it will remain switched off for 30 minutes and then
a 5-minute dry-out will start.
2. Automatic
function:
When the blower has been running for 30 minutes, it will be switched off automatically. The blower will
remain switched off for 30 minutes and then a 5-minute dry-out will start.
This function is only integrated in the following types of blower:
3-speed, pneumatic switch
3-speed, pneumatic switch with heater
Variable speed
Variable speed with heater
Location
The Genesis air blower must be mounted in a suitable place which does not allow accessibility without use of a
tool and is protected from flooding. It must also be placed in a well-ventilated location, but avoid cold air intake
as this will cause a cold air injection into the whirlpool or spa.
Installation
The blower is suitable for mounting below whirlpools and spas. It must be secured to the installation place by
means of three screws fitted through the three rubber feet of the blower. The bottom of the blower can be op-
ened by loosening the two screws located under the blower label at the back. The blower should not be acces-
sible to people using the whirlpool or spa. Water flowing back from the whirlpool or spa must not come into con-
tact with the blower. To ensure this, we recommend that the pipe or hose system be laid so that a double air
loop and one check valve, or two check valves, are fitted above the maximum water level. The pipe/hose system
must be securely fixed to the blower’s outlet. If the blower is a heated version, bear in mind that the heater will
switch off automatically if the air temperature rises above approx. 50°C (*). For pneumatically controlled air
blowers, flexible piping with an internal diameter of 3 mm. must be fitted to the air switch which is located at the
back of the blower.
