New Waterway suction fitting

30 Jan

The Wedge is the most advanced approach to simple and secure installations on portable spas. It requires no silicone and allows for inconsistent hole sizes. It also provides a lower profile.

Notice the “wedge” shape of the thick grey gasket, it is a compression seal  and eliminates the need for spot facing (smoothing) the back surface. Requires 4″ hole, face plate is 5.16″ wide and this fitting is available in both 2″ and 2.5″ slip . Available at waterwayparts.com

640-6307 v (grey)  2 ”              640-6311 v  (black) 2.5″

Spa pump cord

16 Jan

Your spa control power cord is dedicated to your model of control and must be re-used on your new pump. New pumps most often ship without a power cord

Remove the cord from your old pump, and note, (take a pic with your phone) the wire color going to high speed or low speed terminals on any motor, the color is set or determined by the maker of the spa control, not by the pump or motor manufacturer. Before you remove the power cord from your old pump, look at the old motor wiring label and make a note of what color goes to high, and to low. Then, put the cord on your new motor/pump, using the same color for high as on the old motor and also for low speed wiring.

THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE!!!!!!

Waterway Pump Trap Lid

8 Jan

Waterway pumps often have a “leaf trap” in front of the “pump”. Homeowners describe this as a “pre filter”, “basket”, or just plain “pump”. The see-through lid has been re designed, however, they are interchangeable.

There is a small decal on the center of the lid. It may have a “W” on it, or it may be an American flag. Both have part numbers on them, however, the numbers are for the decal itself not the lid.

808-3150.1008 and 808-3150.0413 are part numbers for decals.

Since 2014 the  replacement lid part number is 319-4100

The “new ” lid is two pieces and easier to remove. Again, they are interchangeable and both require the exact same o-ring  805-0436
