IMPORTANT MOTOR VARIATION NOTICE
Due to ongoing changes in the hot tub pump industry since COVID, motor appearance and configuration may vary, even when the part number is the same. While the pump wet end will be correct, the motor may differ in areas such as capacitor location, labeling, or housing.
If you have a specific motor requirement (clearance, capacitor position, orientation, etc.), you must contact us before ordering so we can verify availability. Do not order first and contact us after delivery due to appearance differences.
Motor variations are outside of our control and may change week to week. Appearance differences do not constitute an incorrect item if specifications are met.
