Hot Tub Progress

Pump & motor are too loud.  Too old to put another $150+ into it.  So let’s replace?

If we can go $350 each for a new one, some options are listed below.

Here are the specifications for the existing pump & motor:

• Ultrajet Vico Model# 5KCR39UN2846EX
• 240V, 2.1 HP
• 2-speed (low: 1750 high: 3500) (not critical to be exact same)

Below are a few I’ve found online.  I like the 3rd one down; good price, from a place we’ve ordered from before, etc.

$627, https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01BRTESN2/ref=ewc_pr_img_3?smid=A1XXUTGJ6XQY4Y&psc=1

• perhaps too big? (3 HP > 2.1 HP)

$430, https://thehottubsuperstore.com/product/2-5-hp-waterway-ex2-aqua-flo-master-xp2-2-spd/

• 2.5 HP is closest match I could find.
