💨 HydroAir Balboa Genesis Air Blower – G70-2AN-S (700W, Non-Heated, Pneumatic On/Off)

Powerful 700W pneumatic air blower delivering invigorating bubble massage with simple push-button control – perfect for whirlpools and spas

📋 Product Overview

The HydroAir Balboa Genesis G70-2AN-S is a robust 700W non-heated air blower housed in the iconic blue polypropylene casing that has made the Genesis range an industry favourite. Engineered specifically for whirlpool baths and small-to-medium hot tubs, this blower delivers powerful airflow through a simple pneumatic on/off control system – no complex electronics required.

The pneumatic activation means users simply press an air button to start or stop the blower, providing reliable operation that spa owners appreciate for its simplicity and dependability. While this model draws ambient air rather than heated air, in typical spa installations the blower naturally draws residual warmth from nearby components, ensuring a comfortable bubble massage experience.

Manufactured by HydroAir, a division of Balboa Water Group, this blower carries the trusted reputation of one of the spa industry’s leading component manufacturers. The Genesis range is manufactured according to European norms EN60335-1 with focus on EN60335-2-60, ensuring compliance with stringent safety standards for wet environment electrical equipment.

🛠️ Installation Considerations

⚠️ Professional installation by a qualified electrician is essential

Electrical Requirements:

• Supply voltage: 230-240V AC, 50Hz
• Current draw: Approximately 3.3A
• Cable: 1m 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 rubber feet
• Must not be accessible to bathers without use of tools
• Position must be protected from flooding

Ventilation Requirements:

• Install in a well-ventilated location
• Avoid cold air intake as this causes cold air injection into the bath water
• Ensure access is maintained for future inspection and maintenance

Plumbing Connections:

• Outlet: 1.5″ BSP × 32mm union (rotatable for alignment flexibility)
• Pneumatic tubing: 3mm internal diameter flexible tubing required for air switch connection
• Critical: Install either a double air loop with one check valve, OR two check valves, above maximum water level to prevent water backflow

Thermal Protection:

• If the thermal protection activates, disconnect power supply and allow the blower to cool to room temperature before reconnecting
