Saxy Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I have a 2010 Envoy and it busted the impeller and began pouring water out of the back of the wet end. I replaced the impeller with an a used impeller I had saved from another wet end I replaced last year. When I started the pump I suspect the same thing happened again as water is pouring out of the back again even when the pump is off. Instead of replacing the wet end I was thinking of replacing the entire unit due to the age of the unit. The current pump is a 2HP pump and I believe that it is a 56 Frame. The label says that it will run at 115V or 230V but I think this is setup as a 230V motor. unfortunately I did not check the voltage before having to drain the tub. I found a reasonable price replacement pump but it is a 48 frame instead of a 56 frame. What differences will I see with this and will it make mounting it more difficult with the current plumbing not lining up? The replacement I found that is a 56 frame unit is a 3HP unit. I did not want to upsize the motor as I was happy with the performance of the 2hp motor. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonable and easy replacement? Thanks!

Hot Spring Official Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Your spa was designed to use a 230volt 2hp pump. You should stay with the original equipment available from local dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
