Ok, I installed a waterway Hi-Lo wet end on a 3 hp pump motor. My original impeller that came with the wet end lasted about 3 days and it snapped off at the shaft. Ok, I thought, must be a back piece of plastic. I contacted the spa pack parts department and they are sending me a replacement. In the meanwhile I went down to my local parts dealer and purchased another one so I wouldn't have to wait. The thing ran for about 35 mins on high and now has stopped pumping water. I haven't taken it back apart, but I am assuming my impeller is broken again.? Is this common? I have an older Cal-Spa that had an original hi-lo 2.6hp motor in it and I purchased a 3 hp as a replacement. They didn't offer a 2.5 hp. Just wondering how long these parts are to last and why it would be snapping like that. We were turning on and off the jets showing the kids how everything worked when this happened.
Thank for any replies I get.
Matt
