What does blower do on spa?
The blower is a unit that utilizes a fan to create air flow; it then forces the air through channels into the jets that allow for a release. The combination of air and water flow through the jets can provide a wonderful massage experience for the hot tub user.
Does a spa need a blower?
No most spas do not have air blowers. The consensus seems to be that they do not add much to jet therapy and tend to introduce cold air into the water which lowers the temperature.
How big of a spa blower do I need?
The number of holes in the spa floor and seats determine the size of your air blower. For a 1.0 hp blower the total hole area should be . 85 square inches, for a 1.5 hp blower the hole area should be 1.2 square inches, and for a 2.0 hp blower the total hole area should be 1.5 square inches.
Do you need a blower for a spa?
As far as the need for a blower, there are four pools on my block, all designed and built by the very same builder. All but mine have a blower. I always thought that the reason my spa didn’t need a blower was that it is placed at the same water level as the pool vs all the others which are raised spas.
What does a three way pool blower do?
Just to be clear, a three way allows you to divert some of the air flow, do not block or restrict it, so as to not cause the blower to shut down. Thanks for the quick response.
How does a Jandy 3 way blower work?
Just to be clear, the Jandy three way valve I suggested should be installed so that it never restricts the air flow from the blower, but only diverts a portion to outside air. So it’s affect is to release part of the air pressure right below the blower. It has the added advantage of being adjustable.
Can a Jandy valve be used on a pool blower?
Although the jandy valve might be overkill, it would surely look the best and allow you a mechanism for adjusting the airflow..w the drilled holes, it’s only an option for less pressure and not reversible, unless you get PVC couplings. Finally, since your pool is new, I would go back to the PB and ask them to resize your blower.
