Air Controls & Diverter Valve Controls
Air Control
Each spa is equipped with air controls (venturies). The purpose of these controls is to regulate the mixture of air and water that flows through the jets. If an optional blower is installed, air is also pushed through the air controls (venturies) for maximum output. If your spa has a master massage jet located in the foot well, the spa will be
equipped with an air control specifically for the master massage jet. This third control operates the same as the others. Colors/style may vary from photo. An Air Control is the smallest of the valve controls.
Mini Diverter Valve
This valve controls the water flow of neck jets, shoulder jets, and waterfalls (if so equipped) located throughout the spa. A simple clockwise turn of the handle will increase to the maximum output allowed. Another turn in the opposite direction will decrease / turn off the jet. Colors/style may vary from photo. A Mini Diverter Valve is the medium size of the valve controls.
Water Diverter Valve
The Water Diverter Valve controls the output of the pump(s) water flow to either side of the spa, or it will provide even water flow to all jets if left in the half way position. The purpose of this valve is to increase or decrease the output of one side or another for maximum or minimum water flow in case of one or two person usage. This valve is also used to turn the master
massage jet on and off, if so equipped. Colors/style may vary from photo. A Water Diverter Valve is the largest of the valve controls.
Although all three controls look similar in appearance, they are easily discernable by size. The Air Control is the smallest, the Mini Diverter Valve is medium in size, and the Water Diverter Valve is the largest .
