INSTALLATION
INSTALL IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA FREE FROM FLOODING AND ENSURE AREA IS FREE
FROM SPLASHING WATER.
Mounting
All models of Waterco Blower have two (2) identical 50 mm (2”) diameter Outlet Ports. One of the
ports is in the Bottom Cowl of the Blower and the other is in the side of the Blower. The Stand can
be attached to either of these ports and leaves the other free to connect to the Spa via the piping.
It is also possible to connect the pipe to the Outlet Port in the Bottom Cowl of the Blower and seal
off the other Outlet Port. In this case, the piping must be adequately supported to carry the weight
of the Blower. Waterco supplies a 50mm (2”) Cap (P/N S130571) for this purpose with all Whisperair
Blowers (sold separately for Airflo).
It is recommended that the Inline Models be mounted with the Air Inlet Port facing upwards. This
will reduce the number of elbows required for the piping. Examples of mounting the Blower are
shown below.

Switching the Outlet Port
The blower is packaged with the Mounting Bracket in the base of the Blower and the Outlet Port in
the side. Assuming there is no piping connected to the Blower, simply follow these steps to switch
the Mounting Bracket from one port to the other.
1. The Mounting Bracket is held in place by a small securing screw on the flange of the port.
Remove this screw.
2. Pull the Mounting Bracket out of the port (it is a press fit). A fair amount of force will be required
to remove the Mounting Bracket. If it is stuck, use a soft hammer to tap the side of the bracket
until it rotates a little. If it still won’t come out, tap the Mounting Bracket from the Blower side,
alternating between corners on the Mounting Bracket. The Mounting Bracket is quite strong, but
care should still be taken not to damage it or the Blower.
3. Remove the securing screw from the other port and insert the Mounting Bracket.
4. Replace both securing screws.
