REMOTE BLOWER INSTALLATION
For All Models
For ease of installation of remote equipment and air line connections, it is recommended there be
access of some kind to the underside of the bathtub, either from above or below the sub-oor.
PREPARATION
1. Determine location for blower and verify that access to bathtub connections and remote location will
be possible after bathtub is installed. Blower location must be within 15 feet of tub, with a maximum
of (5) 90° elbows. A 15 amp GFCI protected outlet must be installed within 2 feet of blower location.
NOTE: Air blowers do not require a bonding conductor.
2. The air blower is shipped loose with the tub. The control pad, control pad cable and exible 1”
blower hose with 1-1/2” PVC bushing are connected to the tub from the factory and should not be
removed.
3. Hydro Massage Products recommends using 1-1/2” schedule 40 PVC to run from the connection
point at the bathtub to the blower. The 1-1/2” PVC will connect directly into the discharge end of the
blower and should be secured with a stainless steel screw. NOTE: Do not glue blower to the PVC.
Use care not to crush or kink any connections.
4. Pipe insulation may be used on the air line between the blower and the tub to help retain the heat
from the blower. Do not use insulation within 12” of the blower. Do not wrap insulation around the
blower or use blown-in insulation within 24” of the blower as this will cause the equipment to fail.
The blower needs sufcient air space surrounding it for circulation.
5. The control pad cable provided on the tub is 8’ long. Should an extension cable and connector be
necessary, it can be purchased from our Service Department by calling 888-409-8860.
6. Once air line and control cable are connected to the blower, plug the blower into the outlet and test
for proper operation before completing installation. Note: after the blower is turned off, the light on
the control pad will be ashing, indicating the purge cycle is activated. The blower will run for 1-2
minutes approximately 10 minutes after the blower was last turned off.
7. Complete bathtub installation.
