💨 Hydroair 3 Function Genesis Blower Topside Panel – Variable Speed Blower Control

Three-button control panel with variable speed for Genesis G70 air blowers with LED indicators

📋 Product Overview

The Hydroair 3 Function Genesis Blower Topside Panel (TP-H3600) is a dedicated control interface designed specifically for the Genesis G70 Air Blower. This compact circular panel provides comprehensive blower control including on/off switching, speed adjustment, and variable speed operation – all from a convenient topside-mounted location.

Unlike standard bath or spa topside panels that control pumps and heating, this panel is purpose-built for air blower control. The three-button configuration provides intuitive operation: an On/Off button for power control, +/- buttons for speed adjustment, and variable speed functionality for precise air flow control.

Manufactured by Balboa/Hydroair, this 60 mm diameter panel features LED indicators for clear visual feedback and operates at 12V. The panel connects directly to the Genesis G70 blower’s terminal block, requiring the plug to be cut off and hardwired during installation. This provides a secure, permanent connection for reliable operation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is this panel for?

A: This panel is specifically designed to control the Genesis G70 Air Blower. It provides on/off control, speed adjustment (+/-), and variable speed operation for the blower.

Q: Will this work with my whirlpool bath?

A: Only if your bath uses a Genesis G70 Air Blower (SKU: BL-GB700). This is not a general-purpose bath control panel – it specifically controls the Genesis G70 blower.

Q: Why does the plug need to be cut off?

A: The Genesis G70 blower uses a terminal block for connections rather than a plug socket. The panel cable must be hardwired directly to the blower’s terminal block for proper operation.

Q: What does the Variable button do?

A: The Variable button enables variable speed mode, allowing smooth adjustment of air flow intensity using the +/- buttons.

Q: What voltage does it operate at?

A: The panel operates at 12V, which is provided by the Genesis G70 blower system.

Q: What size hole do I need?

A: The panel is 60 mm in diameter. You’ll need a circular cutout of approximately 60 mm for proper mounting.

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: Due to the hardwired terminal block connection, professional installation is strongly recommended unless you are experienced with electrical wiring.

Q: Does it have LED indicators?

A: Yes, the panel features LED indicators to show blower status and operating mode.

Q: What’s the difference between this and the 2 Function panel?

A: The 2 Function panel (TP-H3609) is for general bath control with simple on/off functions. This 3 Function Genesis panel specifically controls the G70 blower with variable speed capability.

Q: Will this work with other blower brands?
