Replace spa jet diffuser?

Replacing the jet diffuser can be a good option if the tabs that hold the jet into the housing are broken and the rest of the diffuser looks in good condition. If the diffuser is flaking and becoming brittle it is recommended to replace the entire jet. Why? If the diffuser is deteriorating then the rest of the jet internals including the bearings probably are too. This is caused by low Alkalinity, pH or Calcium. The white residue that is coming of the diffuser isn’t usually scale but the plastic deteriorating. In this case replacing the diffuser may be a short term fix, but you will most likely need a new jet soon.

 

Leisure Bay Green Pump

You may not need to replace the entire pump and motor, the impeller, volute, seal, orings, plug, or the entire “wet end” are all available. This is a 48 frame used in several Leisure Bay spas. Available at http://www.waterwayparts.com

Choosing the right Waterway spa pump….

To ensure the correct replacement, check the “nameplate” of your old pump, located on the side of the motor. The main information to look for on this label is:   Frame Size  (48 or 56)

Volts  (115 or 230)

HP

AMPS

CAT

Also, we will need the measurement (outside thread) of the intake and the discharge. Is the discharge Vertical? Horizontal?

Would the effects of partial immersion in a hot tub simulate the beneficial effects of exercise?

Results suggest that hot-tub therapy should be further evaluated as a therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hot tubs and swim spas may be helpful for patients who are unable to exercise. The benefits could result from increased blood flow to skeletal muscles.

Leisure Bay spa parts

Leisure Bay spa shells can last for 40 years. However, you will be replacing jets, motors, filters, heaters, and assorted fittings. There were several year models that used Waterway jets and Waterway motors. Several of these “proprietary ” parts are still available from Waterwayparts.com. Why replace your hot tub if a few parts can bring it back to life.
