🫧 HydroAir Balboa Genesis Air Blower – G70-2ANT-S-EG (700W, Non-Heated, Pneumatic 3-Speed)
Versatile 700W pneumatic air blower with 3-speed control and pulsating massage mode – all operated from a single air button
📝 Product Overview
The HydroAir Balboa Genesis G70-2ANT-S-EG represents the pinnacle of pneumatic air blower technology, combining powerful 700W performance with sophisticated 3-speed control – all operated through a simple pneumatic air button without any electronic controllers required.
What sets this model apart is its ability to cycle through high, medium, and low airflow settings plus a pulsating massage mode, giving bathers complete control over their bubble experience. The built-in automatic dry-out system activates after each use, purging moisture from the air lines to prevent bacterial growth and extend system longevity.
Housed in HydroAir’s signature compact blue polypropylene casing, this blower maintains the trusted Genesis design while delivering enhanced functionality. While classified as non-heated, strategic installation near warm spa components allows the unit to draw ambient warmth, ensuring comfortable air temperatures during operation.
Manufactured by HydroAir, a division of Balboa Water Group, this blower is built according to European norms EN60335-1 with focus on EN60335-2-60, meeting rigorous safety standards for electrical equipment in wet environments. The Genesis range has earned its reputation as “the obvious choice for whirlpools and spas” through years of reliable service worldwide.

🛠️ Installation Considerations
⚠️ Professional installation by a qualified electrician is essential
Electrical Requirements:
- Supply voltage: 230V AC, 50Hz
- Current draw: Approximately 3.3A
- Cable: 3m bare-end supply cord provided
- Wire colours comply with EN60335-2-60 (Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Yellow/Green = Earth for Class I units)
- Installation must include a fixed wiring switch with minimum 3mm contact separation in each pole
Mounting Position:
- Suitable for mounting below whirlpools and spas
- Secure using three screws through the integrated rubber feet
- Must not be accessible to bathers without use of tools
- Position must be protected from flooding
- Ensure location allows future access for inspection and maintenance
Ventilation Requirements:
- Install in a well-ventilated location
- Avoid cold air intake as this causes cold air injection into the bath water
- For warmer air output, position near other warm spa components where possible
Plumbing Connections:
- Outlet: Rotatable 1.5″ BSP × 32mm union (included)
- Pneumatic tubing: 3mm internal diameter flexible tubing required for air switch connection
⚠️ Critical Water Protection: Install either a double air loop with one check valve, OR two check valves, positioned above maximum water level to prevent water backflow into the blower. Water contact with the blower must be avoided at all times.
Operating Sequence:
- First press = High speed
- Second press = Medium speed
- Third press = Low speed
- Fourth press = Massage mode (pulsating effect)
- Fifth press = Off
Thermal Protection Note: If the thermal protection activates, disconnect power supply and allow the blower to cool to room temperature before reconnecting and restarting.
