My hot tub went down well before the holidays. My local dealer was dragging his feet to get me a price on a replacement pump and motor. He finally told me $500 and even more to install it. He said I'd get 90 day warranty if he installed it and nothing if I installed it I went to SpaCare and found one with the help of friendly online staff that was en exact replacement with 1 year warranty brand new in the box for a fraction of the price. I'm rebuilding my entire 12 year old tub with SpaCare parts.

Replacement pump

Pump works great. I had initially followed the electrical hookups diagram on the pump, but it turned out that for my tub, red/black which is high/low for a 2 stage pump needed to be inverted. Wasn't a problem, just turned it on and it was obviously wrong, so I killed the power and switched em. Pump works great. Tub is holding constant temp. Found the customer service to be extremely helpful, they'd get back to me quickly, even on the weekend, which was great cuz it was -10°F in Colorado and I really needed to get the pump in.

I purchased this product online and was hesitant on buying it without looking at. I contacted their customer service and the person I talked to assured me that it was the product I was needing. The item arrived a day early and I was able to install it a few days later and it was the perfect match. I am pleased to have my spa in working order for the upcoming cooler months. I was impressed with their customer service that I decided to order another part I needed. Thank you SpaCare for my products.

Hot Tub Owner

After trying to get local vendors to visit, diagnose and fix our hot tub, with very little success, I took matters into my own hands and, thankfully, found Spacare! Managed to locate the appropriate replacement pump and had it in hand within 5 days of my order... during the peak Christmas delivery season. Installed it myself, it works great, it was reasonably priced...and actually saved ourselves a few hundred dollars on top of everything! Totally recommend Spacare!

Motor and pump were right on, I contacted Spa Care.com with questions on what motor and pump Assy. I needed for my system on a Sunday. They replied the same day with the information confirming that it would be correct. I ordered the parts I needed and they were here super fast.
