Blower strong when no pump is on???????

[Boowow1993]

Hello All,

We just built a new concrete in-ground spa/pool 60X72X36. We have 8 jets.
Pump: Hayward Super Pump 700 1.5hp 220 v and 1.5 hp 220 V AirSupply ultra 900 Air Blower
The pump & blower share the same 2" pipe line.
The pump house is only 6 or 7 feet from the pool.

When the pump is on the jets are great.
When only the blower is on the jets are super strong - kind of overflowing the pool.
When the blower is on with the pump - the bubbles are super strong in the first 3 jets then tapers off to nothing in the last 3.

How can we even things out?
Do I need a stronger blower? Can I use the blower without the pump and just live with it?
Any advice?

Welcome to TFP.

I think you have some design flaws in the spa plumbing. They are hard to fix now.

Do you have any pics of the plumbing around the spa before it was encased in gunite?
