Definition of the 4 types of effects in balneotherapy:

There are two principles of injection in balneotherapy: (water+air) and (air only).

Each of the 2 principles, having 2 types of possible effects, corresponding to different flow rates for different results.

1) Water + air injection

This type of nozzle provides a real massage sensation on your body and muscles.

|| |1463

 Principe d'un circuit de massage avec effet Venturi :

The nozzles are supplied with water by an additional pump (booster). The air is taken from the ambient environment by an air intake installed on the edge of your swimming pool or spa, and is mixed with the water by the nozzles using an internal venturi system. There is no blower (air compressor).

The nozzles will be located a maximum of 30 cm below the water level, so that the air injection is carried out correctly.

BALNEO: TURBOT JET EFFECT (1)

This effect, usable with a nozzle alone, requires an incoming flow rate of 10 to 15 m3/h, the water inlet is a 1.5" threaded diameter, the inlet of air in diameter 33 mm This effect is available for coatings such as coating, mosaic or liner.

BALNEO:CLASSIC VENTURI MASSAGE EFFECT (2)

Cet effet, en montage avec plusieurs buses, requiert un débit d'entrée de 4.5 à 5.6 m3/h par buse, l'arrivée d'eau est en diamètre 50 mm à coller, l'arrivée d'air en 33 mm. Il faut donc adapter le débit de la pompe en fonction du nombre de buses : par exemple, pour 4 buses, il faudra un débit de 20 m3/h environ. Ces buses s'installent sur revêtements type enduits, mosaique, ou liner avec 2 types de buses très spécifique :

buse-venturi-liner buse-venturi-beton

kit-buse-venturi-liner kit-buse-venturi-beton

The suction plug:

The water/air "venturi" massages powered by a booster require a suction plug to send the water in the spa pump. You stick your 63 mm diameter pipe directly behind the nozzle.

How to calibrate your BOOSTER pump to power the nozzles?

The choice of pump power will depend on the type of nozzle and/or the number of nozzles installed

-Turbo jet: 10 to 15 m3/h for 1 nozzle

-Venturi massage: 4.5 to 5.6 m3/h per nozzle ( therefore x times the number of nozzles)

We will determine the power of the booster by adding the flow rates of the different nozzles that you wish to install in your whirlpool pool or spa. This will depend on the models and brands, i.e. its performance, but in general, this gives:

puissance-booster-spa

Distripool pro tip:

--

The powers and flow rates are given as an indication, you must refer to the efficiency curve of your booster to determine the correct pump model.(consult our technicians on 04 11 93 04 09)

Here are our installation diagrams for your balneotherapy pool and spa:

It is important to balance the discharge piping network: each inlet (tee) must be centered between each branch (elbow or tee), and the lengths of pipe segments must be equivalent if you want the power is well distributed in all nozzles.

Only the last segments of pipe supplying a single nozzle can be 50 mm in diameter. All common segments must be 63 mm in diameter, as well as the suction.

Connections and electrical connections of the booster:

The switch which allows triggering, positioned from the surroundings of the basin, is not connected electrically: it is a pneumatic button which is connected to an electrical control box located in the separate technical room, with a small pipe called "crystal tube" to pass through a sheath.

tube-crystal bouton-pneumatique-spa

This control box is equipped with a pneumatic switch connected to the crystal tube, and therefore to the pneumatic button, located near the spa or swimming pool; as well as amagneto-thermal circuit breaker to be calibrated according to the power of the booster (Amperage) in order to protect it.

2) AIR injection only

balneo-piscine-injection-air


Principle of an air injection circuit:

For a gentle and relaxing massage, the balneotherapy injection circuit air only uses a BLOWER type blower.

The choice of power will depend on the type, number and depth of the nozzles.

There are 2 types of air nozzles:

1 : L'effet GEYSER (1) fond de bassin. 

2: The bubble effect (2) with 2 possibilities: "MS tubes" (concrete) and nozzles called "injectors" (coated concrete or liner)

GEYSER EFFECT ( 1)

This spa effect is designed for the bottom of a spa or a small bath in a swimming pool, i.e. a water height of 120 cm maximum.

The air balneo equipment is delivered in 2 pieces with the specific discharge, as well as the grid of 37 large holes. The water supply diam 2" threaded (male) or 1"1/2 (female), and it comes with flange and a set of gaskets directly.

Regarding the connection of the nozzle, it is similar to swimming pool backflows, i.e. 50 mm and 63 mm plumbing. If there are several nozzles, you must have a symmetrical and balanced network, with the use of tees and crosses.

BUBBLE EFFECT (2)

This spa effect is designed for the seat of a pool or spa bench, i.e. a water height of 60 cm maximum.

For this effect, there are 2 possibilities depending on the type of coating:.

- Either singular nozzles called "injectors" with 2 different models.

- Either a linear tube "Tube MS" only for coated or mosaic coverings.

Small model injectors for the seat (except liner).

spa-blower-te injecteur-buse-air-spa

Regarding the connection of the nozzle, it must be mounted with specific tees (32 x 1" x 32 mm). You must have a symmetrical and balanced network, with the use of tees, the network being 32 mm, if the blower is less than 5 m.

Large model injectors for the seat (all coverings).

injecteur-buse-air-liner

The assembly principle is the same as for the small model injectors The material is delivered in 2. parts with specific discharge, as well as the grid of 25 small holes The water supply is in diameter 2" threaded (male) or 1"1/2 (female);

Concerning the connection of the nozzle, it is similar to swimming pool discharges, that is to say in 50 or 63 mm plumbing. Always remember to have a symmetrical and balanced network.

MS tubes:

The MS tubes are “caught” in the concrete structure, with the upper flat part of the profile coming flush with the covering (watertight coating, mosaic) (no liner or shell or gel coat).

We then drill holes every 10 to 20 cm on the flush plate with a fine drill bit with a diameter of 5 mm.

Installation of the BLOWER for your air whirlpool

The choice of power will depend on the type, number and depth of the nozzles. Here is a small technical table to help you. As an indication, everything also depends on the quality of the blower you buy

blower-spa-dimensionnement

Distripool pro tip:

-It is important not to exceed 5 m of distance between the nozzles and the booster, otherwise, it is necessary to oversize the blower taking into account the pressure losses generated (i.e. the loss of pressure and also flow rate due to the length of the pipes)

-planned sizing for the seated at 60 cm max from the water height, and 1.10-1.20 m for the bottom (geyser)

BLOWER electrical connections and connections:

L The switch which allows triggering, positioned from the surroundings of the pool, is not electrically connected: it is a pneumatic button which is connected to an electrical control box located in the separate technical room, with a small pipe called "crystal tube" to pass through a sheath.

This control box is provided with a pneumatic switch connected to the crystal tube, and therefore to the pneumatic button, located near the spa or swimming pool; as well as a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker to be calibrated according to the power of the blower (Amperage) in order to protect it.
