Runs smoothly and quietly for its size.
My old pump failed and I was reluctant to try to fix it myself. After doing a little research and looking at reviews, I chose Spadepot.com and save several hundred dollars compared to a national pool supply company...over $250 for the exact same pump. It was much easier to swap out than I expected with the proper tools...I needed a phillips screwdriver on a rachet to remove 2 screws on the backside of the pump. Arrived sooner than expected too.
The motor is quiet which is an upgrade to our failing motor. So happy to have found your site and will recommend to everyone I know with a spa.
After consulting with customer service we decided this was the replacement I needed. Ordering process was smooth and installation was seamless.
I've purchased several of these in the past & they have always been solid. This last one had a cracked wet end & just didn't seem to be as solid as those I've bought in the past (different motor ) However 5 stars for Spa Depots customer service. I called them & they sent out a new wet end that works perfectly. So I'd say go for it, just hope you have better luck than I did.
