Warranty & Compatibility

Recommended Spa Sizing

Under standard installation conditions, a 1 HP spa blower is generally suitable for approximately four to eight water jets. Actual performance depends on the plumbing length, pipe diameter, water depth, number of fittings, air-hole configuration, and total system back pressure.

The blower should be properly sized for the complete spa plumbing system rather than selected only by horsepower.

Installation Information

The Hayward SPB101 should be installed and serviced by a qualified pool or spa professional.

Important installation requirements include:

• Confirm that the electrical supply matches the blower’s 115V nameplate rating.
• Use copper electrical conductors and follow all applicable electrical codes.
• Install the blower in a dry, well-ventilated location.
• Maintain adequate airflow around the motor to prevent overheating.
• Install the blower at least 2 feet above the ground.
• Install the blower at least 5 feet horizontally from the spa water.
• Position the blower at least 1 foot above the spa’s maximum water level.
• Use nonmetallic plumbing between the blower and spa.
• Protect the blower from sprinklers, chemicals, debris, and standing water.
• Provide GFCI protection where required by applicable codes.
• Verify that the check valve and air plumbing are installed in the correct direction.
