BLOWER SIZING FORMULA

Measure total depth of water in spa (not total spa depth)

Add - 1 in. water for each 10 ft. of 2 in. air pipe

Add 1/2 in. water for each 90 deg. 2 in. elbow

Compare your total with maximum inches of water column and select that size or the next size higher blower than your total, in your selected voltage. The number of holes in the air channel (both floor and seat) should be approximately 1.6 sq. in. total plus or minus .5 1/8 in. hole = .0123 sq. in. 3/16 in. hole = .0276 sq. in. 5/32 in. hole = .0192 sq. in. 1/4 in. hole = .0491 sq. in.
