Hot Tub – Operating the air valves

Xavier Labelle

Along with the diverter valves there are additional controls located on the top of the spa that perform different operations. The smaller valves are called “air venturi valves”, and they affect the area around the valve itself. These controls will open an air line into the jet stream which will pull in air bubbles, thus increasing the pressure at that jet and inserting bubbles into the flow.

Rotating this control will manage the amount of air to let into the stream and can be customised to your liking. These controls are directly linked to the heated air blower line, and if your spa has one (Victoria, Niagara, Alberta, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto) you will enjoy warm air bubbles as opposed to the outside air that would have been used. Adjusting these valves will help you understand how your spa works and will allow you to customise the spa to your liking.

UK Spa Buying and Ownership Guide

After reading Hot Tub – Operating the air valves, many customers ask the same practical questions: what hot tub size fits best, how much does a hot tub cost to run, and which model gives the best long-term value in UK weather. The right answer normally comes from comparing insulation quality, jet layout, seating comfort, and ongoing maintenance support, not just headline price.

Canadian Spa Company UK supplies hot tubs, swim spas, saunas, replacement hot tub covers, filters, chemicals and accessories with nationwide delivery. If you are planning to buy a hot tub UK homeowners use year-round, shortlist models by intended use first: daily recovery, social entertaining, or family wellness. Then compare power requirements, cover quality, and service access so ownership stays simple over time.
