Common to have 220 pumps and 120 blower?

From the labels on the pumps and blower it looks like my tub has:

1 2-speed pump running at 220V
1 1-speed pump running at 220V
1 Blower running at 120V

Is it typical that the blower isn't 220V as well?

Can I have some specs on your spa? What is your blower wattage rating? Blowers (a.k.a. turbines) that use 120V service are rated up to 900W, and anything above 1000W uses 240V service. If it is a compact size spa, the 120V service may be all that is needed.

It all really depends on the spa. If your pumps are labeled 220V than my guess is you need 220V service to the spa. It is very possible that the blower is 120V as a lot of spas use 120V and 220V devices. I dont have a blower in my coast spa but it uses 220V for all the pumps and heater and 120V for the spa lighting and the ozone. There are some spas that run on 120V but in most cases they dont use two pumps. If you are looking to replace a blower than I would get one that matches the voltage label on your old blower.
