I have an air jet tub that uses this blower motor http://www.ht-poolspa.com/product.php?cid=68&id=1611
I just got looking at things a bit closer and I'm a bit confused about how these function.
Initially I had thought that the inlet was on the side of the blower with the threaded (white) end. But when testing things out I see that that's the exhaust, the inlet is on the other side of the blower it would seem.
Is it normal for air to be sucked into these in this fashion? I'm just asking because on my tub that blower is mounted on the side of the tub which will be in a fairly sealed cavity once installed, and it seems strange to me that the source of the air for a blower in an air jet tub would be in a sealed space.
Does this need to be left completely open for it to be able to suck in air safely? Is there an air filter that I need to check and clean sometimes? I can't seem to find any information out about these types of blowers online.
