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!!!!!!

Although these wet ends look similar, they are not interchangeable. The height of the intake port, the size and type of threads, and placement of the discharge port can make a huge difference. It is always better to replace your pump with the same style “wet end”. The existing plumbing in your system will line up perfectly and make the installation of the new pump much easier. If you need help identifying the exact replacement you need take a detailed look at the images on our website. If you still have questions, send us some pics of your existing set-up. Make sure we can see the entire pump in your pics.

IMG_2278To 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?
