Blowers come as standard on many models of modern hot tubs. But if yours doesn’t have one, you can add an after-market blower easily enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just make sure that your hot tub model is compatible first. If your topside control panel has a blower option, then it most likely is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my complete guide to hot tub blowers, I’ll show you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hot tub blower adds an extra element to an already exclusive and fun way of relaxing. The blower generates air bubbles and fires them through jet holes into the tub. These air jets are often set around the seats to create a hydro-massaging effect for the occupants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hot tub pump will pressurize the water, shoot it out through the jets, and offer some level of massage. The hot tub pump already has a couple of obstacles to pass through, like the heater and filter – and by the time it gets to the jets, the pressure is far lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blower enhances the water pressure in a process known as turbo-charging. An air blower runs up to seven times faster than the water pump and boosts the pressure of the water while injecting air bubbles into the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means that even though the pump may run at a constant speed, you can increase the flow rate of the water by increasing the speed of the blower. The alternative is to install a far larger water pump and more nozzles into your existing hot tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A more powerful water pump system would offer a powerful message, but without the bubbles to obscure the water. No pumping in of air would mean a steadier water temperature, though a larger pump would cost more than an air pump to achieve the same function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all hot tubs come with air blowers, and that is because of the range of preferences across owners. To some people, blowers are a nuisance, and others say that the blower is the main reason to own a hot tub in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
