These Waterway pump traps look similar, but they are not interchangeable. Before you order a replacement be sure to check the size of the union nut that connects the trap to the face of the pump. The union nuts are different sizes and are labeled with different part numbers(as shown in lower pics). Trap 310-6500 will fit the Hi Flo and Hi Flo II pumps. Trap 310-5400 will fit the Iron Might, E Series, Spa Flo, TWM, and Center Discharge pumps.
The most common reasons for a noisy pool pump can include: blocked lines, a blocked impeller, faulty bearings or unsecure mountings. These problems cause noises including: loud rattling, grinding, gurgling, whining, buzzing, high pitched noises and vibrations. Many pump noises can be fixed in just a few steps others may require a service call from a professional. While a noisy pool pump is certainly a pain, it’s fairly easy to troubleshoot . First locate the source of the sound—whether it be from the pump’s housing or the motor . It might be cavitation, internal blockage, improper mounting that causes vibrating or bad motor bearings. Even low water levels, clogged pipes, or cold water can cause pump noise. A pump run without sufficient water flow can actually “boil” the water inside the pump and melt the impeller.

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 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
The Waterway 3 inch sweep ells provide increased hydraulic
performance and efficiency for the pool/spa plumbing
system, resulting in improved pump and filter
performance. The Sweep Elbow provides the great advantage in swim spa plumbing for unfiltered current flow that drives swim jets. Great in combination with Waterway Viper pumps.

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.

2.Make sure bathing suits are cleaned and rinsed with fresh water before getting in the hot tub.
3.Don’t go underwater. Long-haired soakers should wear a baseball cap to keep their hair up.
4.Don’t buy cheap chemicals. Get the right chemicals from a trusted hot tub supply store.
5.Don’t drink in the hot tub to avoid the risk of spilling it in the water.
6.Drain and clean a hot tub regularly. Do this every 3 to 4 months.
