Blowers:
A common mistake by customers is calling the "JET"
pump a "blower". That is incorrect.
The "blower" is
basically a reverse of an vacuum cleaner. Instead of
sucking its blowing. Instead of blowing
water/air through jets, it only blows air.
Your blower can be
either 115v or 230v. It normally sits by itself in a
corner of the spa. From the blower is a hose that
will have 2 loops in it or rigid piping that is
again, basically 2 loops.
The purpose of the
loops is to stop water flowing backward from the spa
to the blower and harming it. Along with the 2 loops
typically is a "check valve" at the blower. Jacuzzi
used a spring loaded check valve to close the flow
when the blower is off and open when the blower is
on.
FYI:
Most of Jacuzzi
Whirlpools spas air blowers used flex hose to either
1 or 2 air channels or to a manifold. Air channels
are built into the spa's mold and has simple holes
drilled along the channel to allow air to blow into
the spa. A manifold style has a number of small
fittings mounted on the seating area to blow air
through the channel and create bubbles. All of
Jacuzzi's air blowers were single speed.
