How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting blower and air lines.

  • 1. Inspect air intake:
    • Locate the blower air intake and ensure it is not blocked by debris.

    • Listen for gurgling; if water is present, the blower or check valve may have failed.
  • 3. Inspect hoses:
    • Check air hoses for kinks or crushing.
  • 4. Check valve:
    • Locate and test the air check valve; replace if stuck or leaking.
  • 5. Replace blower if damaged:
    • If the blower has ingested water or is noisy/weak, replace it with a compatible unit.
