About this spa pump

The Vico Ultimax 4 HP spa pump delivers commercial-grade performance for larger residential spas requiring powerful water circulation. This 230V, 2-speed pump features a robust 56Y frame design with 16.4/4.1 amp draw, making it ideal for spas with multiple jets, waterfalls, or heavy bather loads. The dual-speed operation provides energy-efficient low-speed filtration and high-power massage mode when needed.

As an OEM replacement part, this Vico pump ensures exact fit compatibility with your existing plumbing connections through standard 2" MBT unions. Bubbles Supply backs every pump with our exact fit guarantee, same-day shipping on orders placed by 2 PM EST, and a full 1-year warranty for complete peace of mind. Verify your current pump's voltage, horsepower, and frame size before ordering to ensure proper fitment and optimal spa performance.

Before you buy — quick checklist

Confirm your existing pump is 230V — do not install on a 120V circuit
Verify the frame size on your old pump's label is 56Y before ordering
Check the HP rating on the motor nameplate — overpowering or underpowering your plumbing system causes issues
Confirm your spa controller supports a 2-speed pump wiring configuration
Note your existing plumbing union size so you have the correct adapters on hand
Shut off all power at the breaker and disconnect panel before beginning removal

Reading the checklist now prevents 90% of returns. Worth the 60 seconds.
