Welcome to our forum.
It will cool the water, but not as drastically as you make it out to be. I can say with great certainty if you went to the local Sundance dealer and turned on the air blower and the two therapy pumps, you would not see the temperature go down in a half hour of use. This is going be the case because of the insulation and heater that Sundance is using.
Let’s look at this from a different perspective. If you induce air using the therapy pumps in both the Hotspring and Sundance the spa can’t have air and not reduce the temperature in the spa. Just by inducing air you will reduce the temperature.
Please don’t even respond, well, Hotspring uses a pump shroud. It minimizes the reduction in temperature. The shroud does not stop the spa from cooling.
The air blower will lower the temperature of the spa.
How come Hotspring is able to keep the temperature of the spa the same when inducing the air? Mainly because of the heater and insulation. This is also the case in the Sundance even if it has an extra pump that just emits air.
About raising the sanitizer to eye level, most consumers use MPS before each use. MPS has no noticeable affects to the consumer during use. Your reference is a sales scare tactic. It is true, yes, but does it really have an affect on the user, absolutely not.
Also, in regards to the removal of the air blower or the flooding of the lines, the manufacturers that use an air blower have an automatic setting that the air blower will turn on every 12 hours to un-flood the lines.
Just curious, can you prove to me that there is more air created from the air blower than the therapy pumps? I ask because when I sit in a Grandee with no air on, I feel nothing coming from the moto-massage precision jets, and I cannot feel the moto-massage going up and down. After adding air, I feel them. I think Hotspring adds a lot of air to their spas.
You spelled excellent wrong. There are 12 year olds reading this. Come on Chas.
All right you guys, if I remember this weekend, I will conduct a short experiment. I'll turn down the temp setting to the Optma to as low as it will go to keep the heater off, then fire up the blower for 20 minutes with the cover off, and see how far the water temp drops. The ambient temperature for this weekend is somewhere in the low 40 degree range.Brewman
What is wrong with an air blower during summer time? Seems like a good way to cool down the water if it is getting over heated by sun?
