I have an indoor in-ground pool and in-ground hot tub (built in the 1970s). The hot tub is basically set up like a small pool. It has a full pool heater, pool pump, and pool filter. The equipment all sits in the sub-basement next to the pool equipment. In addition to the above, there is an air blower that is set up in the equipment room that provides the bubbles in the hot tub. The old blower has gone out. It is directly wired to a switch on the wall in the equipment room as well as a switch on the wall next to the hot tub. For the blower, I bought a replacement (CG Air Millenium 120 Volt Air Blower with 300 Watt Ceramic Heater). I had naively assumed that it would simply turn on when directly wired like the previously blower. However, it seems some sort of Spa Kit/Controller is needed to operate it? What I am trying to figure out is what I can do to get this to work. Is there another blower I can buy that would simply turn on when getting power? Is there a cheap controller I can hook up to this blower to get it to work? Any ideas are greatly appreciated as I am at a loss of what to do.
