Blower Operation and Plumbing
Home

Air blowers are devices that act like a vacuum cleaner working in reverse... and sound like it too.

Provided in 115 and 230 volt versions, and rated from 1 to 2 horsepower, they simply blow air into air manifolds (and on to the air 'injector' in the spa), or into a blower air channel that is part of the spa fiberglass shell.
