Blowers, which are also used in industrial areas, provide recirculation of pool water. Thanks to the motor/motors in the device, the air is vacuumed or mobilized by pressurizing. The atmosphere in the blower body exits through the necessary channels. It offers a practical solution with the movement of the propellers. There are many different brands and models of blowers.
