Air blowers do one thing only: They blow air through holes in the seat and maybe the floor. They may even be tied into the jet air opening but they are not connected to the circulation system. They have their own pipe that goes directly to the air injectors or air channel. Blowers can cause confusion when you are checking pump operation because they certainly stir up the water. When starting after a drain, its best to go to the pump only position on your control so you can see the water coming from the jets. Because blowers are located below water level, keeping them from flooding is a major consideration. They are usually installed with a check valve or a Hartford loop which attempts to keep water from getting to them. Both systems can fail, and blowers need to be replaced occasionally. Permanent spas owners will notice that their blowers are usually located higher than water level and this keeps the water out of them. If your blower has started making loud noises it's time to replace it. Replacing the motor only is counterproductive because you usually will destroy the housing removing it!
