Kingdog Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Looks like I need a new pump for my Arctic Spa. I have a flo error on the display and the pump is not working. It just buzz's and when I took the side off I saw that water is leaking from the bearing and it's all rusted. I assume it probably seized. It's a waterway pump pf-40-2n22c. Anybody use one of the online sites for parts and have good service? Sheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Further Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 This company is pretty good. I've bought a few expensive parts from them and they have competitive pricing and good service. Link: Pool Spa Supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone think this pump would be the same as mine? http://www.pool-spa-supplies.com/index.php/pumps/jet-pumps/waterway-56f-executive-pump-2-speed-4hp-230-volt-12-0a-4-4a-3721621-1d.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spa_Guru Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 If you have a spa shop local to you, you can probably get the pump rebuilt for around $150 if you carry it in. What typically happens is, you wipe out a seal from a chemistry imbalance, that leaks onto the front bering and rusts it, then the spa is shut off for long enough for the bering to seize, and you end up where you are now.

Kingdog Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ok got a problem here. Finally got the new pump and the thread is 2 inch not 2 1/2 like my old one. No problem I'll just take off the faceplate of my old pump which still looks good and put it on the new pump. As much as I try I cannot get it to snap in place. Now here is the weird part. Both faceplates fit on my old pump. So has anyone had success in changing the faceplate on a 56 series waterway pump from a 2 inch to a 2 1/2? If they both fit on my old waterway why would they both not fit on my new one? One thing I noticed is my new pump is model pf-40-2n22m but my old one is pf-40-2n22c. According to the internet they should be the same pump? Thanks for any help. Sheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiSTi Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 faceplate = volute cover? Maybe your new pump has a larger/thicker impeller? Are both wet ends the same size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volute covers have to be oriented properly to the housing, or they won't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
