Swimming pools are more than just a place to cool off on a hot day; they’re spaces for relaxation, exercise and social gatherings. To enhance the overall experience, many pool owners invest in features like air push buttons, regulators and nozzles.

When pressed, the button sends a burst of air through a tube to activate a connected switch.

Common Uses:

• Activating spa blowers or air bubble systems.
