About this spa pump

Built to OEM specifications, this dual-speed pump operates at 10.5/2.6 amperage with standard 2" suction and discharge connections, making it an ideal replacement for worn or failing circulation systems.

At Bubbles Supply, we guarantee this pump is an exact fit for your spa system and back it with our comprehensive 1-year warranty. Your pump ships the same day when ordered before our cutoff, getting your spa back to optimal performance fast. Before installation, verify your existing pump's electrical requirements and plumbing connections match these specifications to ensure proper fit and safe operation.

Common symptoms this part fixes

If your spa is showing any of these signs, this part is likely your fix:

  • Pump won't start or trips breaker immediately
  • Motor hums but impeller won't spin
  • Weak or low water flow from jets
  • Pump runs but spa shows DR or dry heater fault
  • Excessive noise or grinding during operation
  • Pump leaks at motor shaft seal

Not sure if this is your problem? Try our diagnostic centre or .

Before you buy — quick checklist

  • Confirm your existing pump is 230V — do not install a 230V pump on a 115V circuit
  • Locate the motor label on your old pump and verify it is a 48Y frame
  • Check that your existing plumbing connections are compatible with 2-inch suction and discharge ports
  • Verify your spa controller is Balboa and currently throws a DR fault or pump-related error code
  • Confirm this is your main circulation/jet pump and not a separate circulation or blower pump
  • Take a photo of your old pump's wiring diagram before disconnecting — two-speed pumps have multiple wire leads

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