General Safety
Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This
product
or its power cord may contain
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
GENERAL
To reduce
the risk
of injury do not allow children to use
this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
Install
blower
no less than 1 foot (305 mm) above the
maximum water level to prevent water
from contacting electrical equipment.
Install in accordance with the
installation instructions.
Blower is
designed
for outdoor use. Install blower at least
two feet above the ground in an area
free of debris, chemicals, or sprinklers.
ELECTRICAL
Disconnect power before
attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any
maintenance. Tag and disconnect
power and lock the fuse box / control
panel to prevent unexpected
application of power.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install
blower at least 5 feet (1.5 m)
from pool / spa water using
nonmetallic plumbing.
To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, connect the
green colored wire inside
the electrical box to the grounding
terminal of your electrical service or
supply with a continuous green
insulated solid copper conductor
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid
copper conductor between this unit
and any metal equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment,
metal water pipe, or conduit within 5
feet (1.5 m) of the unit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Installation
Guidelines
Failure to
observe
installation guidelines, could result in
death or serious injury.
See Figure 1 for recommended
installation diagram.
1. Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from
pool / spa water using nonmetallic
plumbing. Install blower no less
than 1 foot (305 mm) above the
maximum water level to prevent
water from contacting electrical
equipment. Install in accordance
with the installation instructions.
2. The check valve supplied with the
unit must be installed in a vertical
orientation above the water level
in an easily accessible location for
serviceability. Take care to orient
the check valve with the arrow
pointing in the direction of the air
flow inside the pipe.
3. Use a separate dedicated 2-inch
rigid PVC supply line from the
blower to the spa.

REMINDER: Keep your dated proof of purchase for warranty purposes! Attach it to this manual or file it for

PRO100120, PRO150120, and PRO200120

Installation
Guidelines (Continued)
Do not
glue the
blower to the supply line. Glue fumes
can potentially cause an explosion
when the blower starts. Install a 1/4”
self-tapping screw to secure the joint if
necessary.
Do not
install
blower below water level. Blower
must be at least one foot above the
maximum water level.
4. Mount blower in a vertical position
using vertical rigid PVC pipe as
shown in Figure 1. For additional
support use supplied bracket as
shown in Figure 1. For warm
climates, try to locate the blower in
a shaded location.
If the
blower
is to be installed more than 25 ft from
the spa, it will be necessary to install a
loop that is 1 foot above the water line
and as close to the spa as possible (See
Figure 1).
A loop
and a
check valve must be installed at least
one foot above the water level when
supercharging water jets.
5. Verify plumbing is free of leaks
before adding water to spa.
6. Do NOT install adjustable jets.
Adjustable jets can cause excessive
back pressure within the unit.
7. Hydrotherapy jets naturally aerate
when installed correctly. Do not use
blower to supplement aeration
when jets have been installed
incorrectly.
Wiring Guidelines
Failure to
observe
wiring instructions, could result in
death or serious injury.
All
wiring
and electrical connections must be
performed by a qualified electrician.
Installations must be in accordance
with local and national codes.
1. For electrical ratings, see product
decal.
2. Check the line voltage to make
certain it is correct for the blower
being used. Do not attempt to
2
connect 240 VAC to a 120-volt
blower; it will damage the blower
and void the warranty.
3. Refer to the National Electric Code
Guidelines for wire size and to
prevent electric shock.
4. Refer to the National Electric Code
Guidelines for proper selection of
wiring conduit and strain relief.
5. The blower field-wiring box is
designed for non-metallic electrical
tubing only. Refer to the National
Electric Code Guidelines for proper
selection of wiring, and strain
relief.
6. Be certain to connect the green
ground wire supplied with the
blower to the ground from
your electrical panel.
7. Connect remaining line wires
individually to the remaining wires
in the blower.
8. When wiring is complete carefully
install gasket and conduit cover
plate.
Overheating, short-circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring.

Blower Sizing
The number of holes in the seats and
floor of the spa can be used to
determine the size of the air blower
that will be required for your
application. See Chart 1 for
recommended blower size based on
the number and size of holes.
Water Jet
Applications
The blower can be used to boost the
output of hydrotherapy jets. A venturi
fitting is normally incorporated into
the jet design. The purpose of the
fitting is to allow air to mix with the
water in the jet. The venturi fittings
can be connected together and then
pressurized with air from the blower to
greatly increase the jet action.
www.aquaprosystems.com
New Spa
Applications
It is important to select a water pump
that will supply sufficient flow to the
jets. Consult with the jet manufacturer
for assistance in selecting a pump or
pumps that will accommodate the
number of jets desired in the spa.
Improper sizing can cause overheating
of the pump and blower.
Choose the correct size blower based
on the number of water jets in your
spa (see Chart 1). See the chart below.
Refer to the installation guidelines for
additional details.
Winterizing
The blower is designed for outdoor
use. There are no special off-season
requirements for the blower. In some
spa systems it is possible to protect
discharge lines from freezing by
operating the blower for several
minutes with the spa drained. The
airflow can be used to purge water
from the air lines.
