who is licensed and qualifi ed in pool equipment by the jurisdiction in which the product will be installed where 

such state or local requirements exist, the maintainer must be a professional with suffi cient experience in 

pool equipment installation and maintenance so that all of the instructions in this manual can be followed 

exactly. Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions that accompany 

this product. Failure to follow warning notices and instructions may result in property damage, personal 

injury, or death. Improper installation and/or operation will void the warranty. Improper installation and/or 

operation can create unwanted electrical hazard which can cause serious injury, property damage, or death. 

Turn off all circuit breakers required in order to prevent the possibility of electric shock. If you have any 

questions or need further details please contact Zodiac Pool Systems Customer Support at: 

1.800.822.7933

 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

 - Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from tub water 

using nonmetallic plumbing. Install blower no less than 1 foot (305 mm) above the maximum water level 

or with an approved Hartford loop confi guration as outlined in section 2 “Plumbing” to prevent water from 

contacting electrical equipment. Install in accordance with the installation instructions.

To minimize the risk of severe injury or death the 

appliance should not be subjected to the piping 

system pressurization test. Local codes may 

require the pool piping system to be subjected to a 

pressure test. These requirements are generally not 

intended to apply to the pool equipment. Zodiac

®

 

pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.

However, if the WARNING cannot be followed and 

pressure testing of the piping system must include 

the appliance, BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE 

FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

 - Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and 

system accessories to ensure they are properly 

installed and secured before testing.

 - 

RELEASE ALL AIR

 in the system before testing

 - Test water pressure must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI.

 - Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 

100°F (38°C).

Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check 

system to be sure it is ready for operation.

NOTICE:

 these parameters apply to Zodiac 

equipment only. For non-Zodiac equipment, consult 

equipment manufacturer.

Installation must be done in accordance with the 

National Electrical Code

®

 (“NEC

®

” or NFPA-70

®

in the US, the Canadian Electrical Code (“CEC” or 

C22.1) in Canada, and/or any other local and national 

installation codes.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL 

INJURY, OR DEATH

. When required by applicable 

local codes and/or by the Authority having jurisdiction 

(AHJ); Connect only to a branch circuit that is 

protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). 

Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that 

the circuit is protected by a GFCI. Make sure such a 

GFCI is provided by the installer and should be tested 

on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test 

button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the 

reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI 

fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. 

If the GFCI interrupts power to the blower without the 

test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, 

indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Do 

not use the device. Disconnect the device and 

have the problem corrected by a qualified service 

representative before using.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit 

children to use this product.

- Jandy Blowers are powered by high-voltage 

electric motors and must be installed by a licensed 

or - certifi ed electrician or a qualifi ed swimming pool 

service technician.

- Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing 

severe injury or property damage.

- Do not install on a plumbing line that can be 

closed or shut off. The blower may create severe 

enough pressures to cause property damage or 

injury.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury

 -

a)

 The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F 

(40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) 

and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy 

adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended 

for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 

minutes.

b)

 Since excessive water temperatures have a high 

potential for causing fetal damage during the early 

months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly preg-

nant women should limit spa water temperatures to 

100°F (38°C).

c)

 Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should 

measure the water temperature with an accurate 

thermometer since the tolerance of water tempera-

ture-regulating devices varies.

d)

 The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before 

or during spa or hot tub use may lead to uncon-

sciousness with the possibility of drowning and can 

greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

e)

 Obese persons and persons with a history of 

heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circula-

tory system problems, or diabetes should consult a 

physician before using a spa.

f)

 Persons using medication should consult a 

physician before using a spa or hot tub since some 

medication may induce drowsiness while other 

medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, 

and circulation.

g) 

People with infectious diseases should not use a 

spa or hot tub.

h) 

Exercise care when entering or exiting the spa 

or hot tub.

i) 

Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) 

may be injurious to your health.

j) 

Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following 

strenuous exercise.

k) 

Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be 

injurious to your health.

l) 

Do not permit any electric appli-

ance (such as a light, telephone, 

radio, or television) within fi ve 5 feet 

(1.5m) of a spa or hot tub.

Attention installer:

 This manual contains important 

information about the installation, operation and safe use 

of this product. This information should be given to the 

owner/operator of this equipment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

4. INSTALL BLOWER

Installation must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (“NEC®” 

or NFPA-70®) in the US, the Canadian Electrical Code (“CEC” or CSA C22.1) in 

Canada, and/or any other local and national installation codes.
1.  Refer to the “Select Blower” section (facing page) to ensure that you 

have the correct blower size for your application.
2.  Pressure tests to the system should be done prior to the installation 

of the blower. See Warning Section on adjacent page.
3.  Use 2" PVC pipe from the blower to jets or bubblers.
4.  Slide Blower onto PVC Pipe. Lower until the stop 

tabs make contact with the PVC pipe.
5.  Blower should be installed vertically, away from 

direct sunlight.

6.  Do not glue

 or otherwise permanently attach the 

blower to plumbing.
7.  Do not remove the blower check valve diaphragm.
8.  Drill two (2) 1/8

"

 pilot holes through the textured fastener safe area 

marked on the blower body. The holes should be drilled through the blower 

body and PVC pipe. The holes should be oriented 180° 

from one another.
9.  Install one (1)  1/2” 8-18 thread forming screw into 

each of the previously drilled pilot holes. The screws and 

pipe should not interfere with the normal travel of the 

check valve diaphragm.
10. The blower also comes equipped with a mounting 

bracket which can be used to secure the blower to a 

vertical surface 

such as a wall or 

post.
11.  If not used 

the bracket can 

be removed and 

stored.

 WARNING

Do not use chemical adhesives to 

affi x the blower to the air inlet line. 

Fumes from chemical adhesives 

may accumulate in the piping and 

explode causing property damage, 

serious injury or death. 

 CAUTION

Blower must be affi xed to the plumbing using the fasteners 

recommended in these instructions. Failure to do so may 

allow the blower to come free of the plumbing during oper-

ation which could damage equipment and prevent proper 

blower operation. 

 WARNING

Blower must be installed in an area well away from sourc-

es of exhaust such as gas pool and spa heater. Please 

ensure that this blower is installed according to local codes 

and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements.
