FIX for H2X Masterspa suction covers, pre 2009

[arnspa 0]

For years Ive been trying to find replacement suction covers for the broken ones on our 2008 H2X Masterspa.  I ordered the ones described as pre 2009.  but they are too small.  After failing to find ones that fit and being told it might be replumbed to take another fitting, I decided to try my own Fix.  By cutting about 1/8 inch off of three of the four splines that the cover attaches to, the smaller suction covers fit well.  The part number for the new (smaller) suction cover is 30231U-LG.  It is VGB compliant. You will need to use the original screws or find the replacement, the one coming with the new cover is too small and too short.  I used a fine tooth Japanese saw to trim about ⅛ inch from three splines.  A notch in the new cover will fit over the fourth spline without trimming.  I hope this is useful to those who need replacements for the original suction covers.  Added: I suggest you not attempt this fix under water.
