48-Frame Jet Pump Change
In July of 2014, the primary supplier for 48-frame jet pumps
was changed. Our new pumps offer the same output, quality,
and reliability standards as our older (OEM) 48-frame jet
pumps.
Our new 48-frame jet pumps can retrofit most existing spas
using this pump size with minor alignment adjustments.
However, these jet pumps may not be compatible with all spas
manufactured prior to July 2014 since they vary in size and
shape from their older predecessors. As an example, the
illustration (right) shows the size differences between our new
6500-092 jet pump and an older 6500-343 jet pump. This size
variation can make installation challenging in some cases. For
this reason, we will continue to offer a limited supply of older
48-frame jet pumps to service the few applications where our
new pumps will not fit. Please
note the price of our older
48-frame jet pumps will increase (to be announced).
We encourage all dealers and field service technicians to
use our new 48-frame jet pumps when repairing spas
using this pump size. The following table includes a
compatibility cross-reference for our new 48-frame jet pumps
and older 48-frame jet pumps.
Please inform your entire service staff of this important jet
pump change. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
