N'isolez pas le souffleur ni la pompe et laissez suffisamment d'espace autour de ces moteurs pour un fonctionnement efficace. L'air ambiant de la maison doit pouvoir entrer en dessous du tablier ou du podium de votre baignoire afin d'assurer une circulation d'air suffisante au souffleur et à la pompe. L'élément chauffant du système de massage d'air a pour fonction de préchauffer l'air afin que la température de l'eau ne diminue trop rapidement. En aucun cas il ne pourra maintenir ou réchauffer la température de l'eau. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9ment%20chauffant%20pour%20souffleur%20de%20baignoire
