How To Select The Correct Replacement Hot Tub Pump
Can I find the hot tub pump I need by my hot tub brand and model?
Unfortunately it is difficult to find the correct pump by hot tub brand and model. At this time Hot Springs Spas made by Watkins are the only hot tubs were the pump model and specs can be identified in their own data base. All other hot tub manufacturers can change pump size and brand from one year to the next based on design updates.
Also, many hot tub manufacturers have the same brand and model hot tub available with many different jet and pump(s) configurations for the same model. Unlike cars it's difficult if not impossible to find a part based on hot tub brand and model.
Usually the information required to replace a hot tub pump can be found on the labels on the pump itself. Getting information required opening the side panel to the hot tub and retrieving the information off the label to verify the exact details of the pump. This applies to all pumps whether its the small circulation pump or the larger jetting pump.
Four things that need to match on your old and new hot tub pump.
- High speed amp draw,
- Pump intake size,
- Pump discharge size.
- Volts.
