Thanks man. Seven years on and you're giving peace of mind to someone you've never met. I can do this.

Thank you so much for this. I was going to pay someone to replace my pump but after your video made it look so easy, i did it myself. I'm so excited.

Nice. Really looking forward to using this as a guide when I get a new pump in a week or two.

Take pictures: Awesome. I recommend taking multiple pics from different angles to catch the wires hidden by the ones in the front. Thanks for the video.

Good video! I was worried about replacing this but now this seems pretty straightforward.

Some excellent information in here. That pump unit is very similar to the Gecko Aqua-Flo pump that I have to replace in my Arctic Spa. My power cable is different, but other than that, it's amazing how similar these pumps and tub set-ups are.

Another great job Do It Yourself Dad!

Oh DoItYourselfDad. You've made this look and sound so easy even this gramma can do it???? I will watch this video over and over and over until I feel confident enough to dive in. Fixed income greatly reduces the opportunities to call for help. I've had to learn so much "do it yourself" as I'm alone. This will bring kudos and champagne to me (and you for teaching clearly and concisely). I will be throwing myself a party if I can pull this off.

I am curious on whether it could be dangerous if not hooked up properly. I get the grounding is important, but any other issues, sitting in a tub with hot water and jets going? Thank you for the great video - you are really impressive.

When you put the new cushioning mounts on If u have to put a nut on the other side, how did you do that? Did you have to jack up the hot tub to access it? I wish you would say that

I thought it would be an easier fix than my mind was making it out to be..lol... I've put this off since we bought our house a year ago and now I'm sure it'll be as easy as I thought it would be (until the doubt thoughts came into play..Hahaa). Thanks for the vid and confidence boost!!!

Thanks for this Video

how about the scalant? do you have any filter inlet side of the pump?

Thanks for the thorough video. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the bolts on the back of the pump. In my setup it is really tight and I cant seem to get back there. Any ideas?

Where do you get the LED replacement lights for the hot tub

Do you have the bleed the pump after replacement ?

I've wondered, if you have an in ground pool with connected hot tub, would you still need two separate pumps to run the jets and circulate the water or could you theoretically use a high enough HP variable speed pump to do the job of both?

Do you recall where you purchased the vibration mounting bolts, I am having difficulty finding them on line. Thanks so much for sharing such a n informative video!

Awesome video. I will let you know how helpful it is when I get my new pump Monday. Do you know if there's anything you would have to reset or do on the control panel when you start it up, or does that just automatically reset itself?

What model Dreammaker did you have on this? Mine is an X400 and the Pump/motor has ZERO markings or labels on it for me to determine a replacement. But your Motor looks almost identical to the one I have and needs replacing. What Waterway pump model did you have on this replacement? Thanks, and excellent video

I can see you replaced with waterway, but which one? I have a similar spa, will try what you did, which waterway pump should I look for? Oh I can see now you posted a while back... how has the replacement worked for you?

Thanks for this tutorial. Note about the "Spa lube" . As the motors, it may be cheaper to buy a basic silicone grease tube.

This is a fantastic video for eager DIY-ers. I’m looking at a used spa with the idea parts are likely to be replaced. I’m curious, is it easy to just change out the flexible tubing that service the jets if they are so cruddy?

great vid :) thanks

Sweet I think I can do this I was about to buy a whole new tub

my flo-master xp2 pump in my Emerald Spa is leaking at the large o-ring seal. Do I need to shut off the water somehow before I begin the repair? thanks much

What lubricant did you use?

any hints on how to get those 4 bolts off at the base of the pump if they are very corroded .. I can get an angle grinder with a cut off wheel to the front 2, but the back 2 are impossible to get at. I've tried with vice grips to just snap them off but the bolts is actually rotating ... they are so corroded the bolt has no thread.

Thanks for the informative video. I see that your motor is grounded to the controller box. My daughter bought a home and the inspection report said the motor wasn’t grounded. There is a ground screw on the motor but it isn’t used. Also, her jetted tub doesn’t have a controller box. What should the motor be grounded to?

Super useful. Thank you!

How do you remove the front piece to expose the shaft

We just received our Dreamaker spa and the motor is loose. I noticed the front mounting nuts were not even finger tight so I tightened them but the motor still seems loose on the backside. Does the back have bolts and nuts or does it just slide into some kind of holding bracket?

How can you test it without the air switch

l have a Rimini spa bad or hotub , that is about 8 years old. I am in Sweden, We noticed a while ago that it did not seem to have full power, when pushed on full power, the flow was weak, everywhere. We also said to ourselves, that we think that we had 2 power settings, you pushed it in and got like 50% bubbles and then pushed it in again for full bubbles. But we only seemed to have one setting now full and off only. I know the pump is 2 speed, says on it. So I took the pump out and took it apart, noticed that the impellor was half missing, all broken, So I thought great was impellor, ordered a new impellor and seals, just the same, pushed the jet button on, which again only full mode, hardly any flow. could not believe that this was not the problem. And then after testing it for a good few times, the jet button refused to go on to full bubbles, I am thinking that this is some safety cut-off switch inbuilt. I thought for a while that possibly the pump smelled like it was burning just a little. I have taken out all the jets, emptied the water, blasted a hose through all of them, thinking that if 50% of the impellor is disintegrated, then bits must be stuck somewhere. Some small bits have come out. very small though. I am wondering if I need to buy a new pump, Just hope it's not the motherboard or control panel. Because the pump has not 2 speeds working, or something is definitely not right. What's your opinion. Is there something else I need to check? I am cracking up, not finding the problem, Could it be the capacitor? I am hoping a new pump will solve the issue. Appreciate your opinion thanks. Also done air bleed ad made no difference.

when you filled the tub. Did you have a airlock problem?

Where was all the spa water when you took the pump collars off? Did you have shut off valves or did you empty the spa?

Where is the heater located in this tub?

Was the new pump quieter? I see some quiet pump models out there

Can I do this process if there is water in my hot tub?

How can you tell if a pump is bad I bought a used leisure bay eclipse hot tub we put water in it plugged it in it started right away jets everything was working fine we left it running to heat up a few hours it was slowly heating we ran it for a few hours then pump stopped working now the control panel lights up no power to pump do you think it's the pump any help is greatly appreciated thanks

Where is the heater located on this model?

Can you show us how to shut the water valves so that we don't let water out when we remove the pump

What type of thread lube was that?

“Subtle Obscenities.” 😝😝

Where did you get the gaskets?

My hot tub trips my circuit breaker every time I turn it on. Do you this my pump needs replacing? What else can be wrong?

Will that pump cause it not to heat up

My jets don't work on one side and a tub is hanging out and water is coming out

Good job I just need you to turn those channel locks the right way😂😂😂😂

Should note when filling tub back up to put hose in filter so you dont get an air lock .. pump wont fire if theres air. Pain in the ass and people may mistaken that for faulty pump or hook up issues

Spa pump replacement or spa pump and motor replacement?

Not a very good description on how to re-wire the new pump. Everyone is different and the terminals may have letters on one pump and numbers on the new one so explaining through that would have been helpful.

Dude. Those channel locks are not only too small for that union, but you're using them backwards.

nothing like watching a instructional with a guy using his channel locks backwards.

It made me cringe how you used the channels backwards to loosen the hose
