Correctly sizing the blower for your application is a critical step to the sustained operational quality
of your Jandy Pro Series Pool and Spa Blower. Damage or failure due to an improperly sized
blower is not covered under warranty.
SIZING WORKSHEETS: The worksheets below will guide you through the proper sizing
calculations for your application.

Determine Blower Needed
Choose an air hole size from
the chart at left and apply the
conversion factor in the formula
below to determine total airfl ow in
standard cubic feet per minute.
Installation of this equipment should be performed by a
licensed electrician and conform to all National Electrical Code
®
(NEC
®
), state and local codes.
1. Ensure all power to the blower has been
disconnected at the main breaker.
2. Remove blower front door by removing
the two (2) screws sliding the door
downward and pulling the door free.
3. Pull in voltage source and ground
wire from Power Center.
4. Connect wires from power center to
the corresponding wires from the blower
motor. Use the wiring diagrams below for
reference. The 120 or 240 toggle switch
will come preinstalled with fl ag terminals.
Connections will need to be made with
Wire nuts.
WARNING
Installing an insuffi ciently
sized blower will
increase back pressure.
Failure to accurately
follow the blower
sizing calculations
provided could result
in excessive back
pressure. Excessive
pressure can cause
damage that could result
in electrocution causing
severe injury or death.
