MrX Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hello, I know that we have couple guys here that are experts. My house came with A7 2015 bullfrog I peaked inside and it seems to have two pumps, one pump has some sweating on the shaft ( bad seal ) the other pump looks pristine. But it looks like one pump was replaced Both are XP2 2.5 HP One is made in Mexico US Motors and other Century made in China. the leaking one is US Motors I will rebuild the US Motors one, and keep as spare … what new pump should I buy as direct replacement ? Should I replace heating element ? Even when it looks visually great and resistance is at 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I would center the heater element a little better. If it moves and touches the metal tube it will hot spot and burn out. Heater elements either work or they don't so if it is working it's good and no need to replace it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I will do that! any suggestion on replacement pump? I read that LX pumps are better and cheaper ? Should I just find LX 2.5HP with 2”/2” and that should be direct fit ? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Match the high speed amp draw. Make sure if ordering the LX has a base on it to nut it in place. Jacuzzi LX pumps don't have a base and sit in a cradle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Normally 2" in 2" out but you don't show the wet end. If they are same size in/out then 2x2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
