What Does a Spa Blower Do

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.

What is the purpose of a blower in a spa?

Also called air pumps or bubblers, blowers push air into the spa through small ports or jets. This creates bubbles not unlike those in a glass of champagne. Although water pumps create strong pressure for the best massage, many enjoy the tingling feeling added by a blower.

Will a hot tub work without a blower?

Many hot tubs come equipped with a hot tub blower, but they can also work perfectly well without one. If your hot tub doesn’t have a blower, it may be possible to add an aftermarket part depending on the compatibility with your spa pack control panel.
