Spa Pumps and Spa Motors
The spa pump is what circulates water through your hot tub. Actually, it is a combination
of a pump - a device for moving water - and a motor that powers the pump.
The spa pump is the second most expensive component in a spa pack, and it is
the one most likely to fail. Spa pumps live in harsh environments. They run
frequently, sometimes at high speed, and have to pump hot water containing chemicals and dirt.
Spa pumps usually last 8-10 years. Broken spa pumps can often be fixed, but the
labor involved tends to not make this worthwhile. Repaired pumps are more likely to
fail than a similar pump that has never been repaired - something caused the pump to
fail, and in the process of failing other parts of the pump are stressed. Unless the
pump is less than about 3 years old there''''s not much point in repairing a broken pump.
You should just replace it. And if the pump and the rest of the spa pack are older than
6 years you should consider replacing the entire spa pack - certainly so if the pack is older than 8 years.
If you are replacing an existing spa pump, you can replace it with the same or
similar horsepower as your existing pump, if you are happy with current forcefullness of the water
coming out of your jets. In general spa motors should have 1 HP for every 4 to 6 standard size jets
(typically rule for 48-frame pumps, and for jets with 5/16" orifices - 10 GPM per jet at 15 PSI). More horsepower is not better.
Overpowering your jets with too much horsepower could damage your plumbing, your equipment, or even you!
So, it is important to get the right sized motor for your spa.

Replacing the pump for an in-ground spa?
You will probably need a pump pot.
Pump Pots
If you need to install your spa pump near or above the waterline,
as is common for in-ground spas, you will need a pump pot. The pump pot prevents
water from draining back into the spa when the motor is turned off.
Our pump pots are built by Waterway Plastics, the same manufacturer we use for our spa pumps.
