Chap Four: AIR BLOWER:
Some higher end spas have an air blower system besides the water flowed
plumbing. It is separate then from the normal forced water jets. The blower is
turned on and the air is forced into the spa as bubbles. Between the air blower
and the method of air disbursement is a looping system to stop water from
flowing back to the air blower. Typically either two loops of flex hose or 2 rigid
pipe loops and a check valve will stop any water from reaching the blower.
When building the spa one of two common methods are used: either one or more
channels are built into the bottom of the spa. Then holes are drilled along these
channels. When the air blower is turned on it pushes air into the channels. The
other common method is installing a separate piping system with small nozzles
along the bottom of the seating area and applying air into those nozzles.
Electronic spas have an automatic blowout at least a couple of times a day. The
spa will turn on several times a day and run for a couple minutes. This will fill the
channels with air. When the blower turns off the cleaner sanitized water will flow
back into the channels and help keep them clean.
Jacuzzi: Only the Dealer Line of Jacuzzi electronic spas had an air blower. This
would include Lexus Plus, Quantum Plus, Pinnacle, and Triton to name a few.
Their Select, LC, and Z series did not have air blowers.
Removal:
The blower is either 110v or 220v depending on the model. You must match
voltage.
To remove is easy. There usually is one screw holding the blower to the
plumbing. There might also be a hose strap tighten around the area. IF so,
loosen.
Once both screw and strap are removed, loosen, the blower lifts out.
Replacement blowers might have a cord to splice in to the older cord or include a
cord you simply plug into the control box.
