Build an air back wash system
Adding air to the filter is just plain GOOD. It will help agitate the beads;
it helps to keep them clean; it feeds oxygen to the biobugs; it adds oxygen to the return water. Biobugs that are exposed to higher oxygen content grow faster and do their work better; fish that have more oxygen grow better, have better color, and fewer health problems. You can't go wrong.

Build an air back wash system
I'm not sure what you mean by a "blower"; I don't get that technical. AES
has a 4-stone hook-up (part # ALP4, $37.00) that can be easily made yourself, but by the time you get the parts, it may be easier to just purchase the ready-made unit. I hooked it up to their (part #9720 for $55, or you could also use the 9730 for $79) air pump, and it just blasts the stuff away. Just remember to increase the airhose size: like water pipe, the bigger the better. 1/4" airline hose ain't gonna cut it G. I'm using 5/8". This set-up can be used either in the pond for extra aeration (the fish like to swim through the bubbles once they get used to it) or in the bottom of a tank/barrel to oxygenate and "boil" the media.
