213 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 If anyone can help it would be much appreciated! I just bought a house with an old 80s spa in it and have had a few problems with getting it to run. I had to first get an electrician to replace the power point because ants had lived in it for years and then ive had a problem getting the pump to run. The heating unit works but i was wondering what would the best replacement pump be for this spa? Ive attached some photos - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDspaguy Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Speck pumps are not common here in the US. It has a strange wet-end, I suspect anything else would require some plumbing work as well. Can you find a speck pump where you are at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yeah, so what would be a similar speck pump made now days? What do you mean by wet end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I have no idea. Here in the US they are pretty rare. I have only seen a handful in 25 years. The wet end is the part of the pump assembly that gets wet, meaning has water moving through it and pipes connected. The other part is the electric motor. Shouldn't take a lot to replumb it for whatever pump you get. Just need unions to fit the new pump and some pvc fittings, pipe, and glue.
