Blower pipe question
« on: June 03, 2017, 03:31:23 am »
Recently picked up a 2nd hand spa and been giving it a bit of a refurb, I noticed inside the blower intake pipe there was what looks to be a ping pong ball about an inch up the pipe. Further up the pipe there seems to be some form of valve inbuilt. The question i have is should there be that orange ping pong ball in the pipework, was it added in when it was manufactured as some sort of air limiter/regulator or has it just been stuck in there by the previous owners or a child may have just pushed it up inside of there for some reason.

It's part of the valve, leave it alone.

Is the blower functioning properly?

Yes the blower is functioning normally.

I was just worried that if that ball was not meant to be in there it could cause the blower unit to overheat, seems odd to have a blower check valve and also the ball in the pipe to regulate, but what do I know :S

Thanks for the response.
