Genesis blowers : we decode their part numbers

Genesis blowers : we decode their part numbers - Click to enlarge

Introduced on the market 15 years ago, HydroAir / Balboa Genesis blowers are easily recognizable with their blue polypropylene housing. They are available in several blower powers (400W, 700W, 900W and 1200W) and come in multiple versions, depending on how you want to use it. So you should know which reference to choose (if not, contact us!), the G70-2HN-S (700W heating) or the G90-2NN-S (900W) being among the most popular models.

But do you know what is behind these combinations of numbers and letters? This page is here to help you pick the right blower for your needs on Tubs Parts.

Genesis references have several components

  • They all start with a G
  • The first two numbers indicate the power option: 50 = 500W, 70 = 700W, 90 = 900W, 120 = 1200W
  • The next number gives the voltage option: 1 = 120V - 60Hz, 2 = 230V - 50Hz
  • A series of two or three letters specifies the technical specifications: variable speed, heating, etc.
  • A last letter refers to the packaging option
  • Specific approvals can end the references (for example "-UL", a certification issued by Underwriters Laboratories, one of the most prestigious labels that guarantees the conformity of a product to the safety and quality requirements applicable in the United States and Canada).
