What's the difference between J-Pumps?

J-Pump is first generation and heavier. The "light" generation has less plastic. The J-pump is being phased out and in very limited supply. Most use the "light" generation.

Attention Customers In Hawaii, Alaska, and US Territories

 From 1993 to 2001 Jacuzzi Bath Spas commonly used the "J" and "K" Series of Pumps; each a patented design. A key way to identify what you have is the union where the pump connects to the plumbing. It looks like:

Note the cone shape surface of the pump fitting face. If your pump (wetend) has this style union, you have either the 1jp, 2jp or 3kp pump.

In 1998, starting with the Pinnacle Model, Jacuzzi Bath Spa division introduced the generic pump for the larger spas. Because they blended over time you must check the pump union to confirm what you have if you have a Premium or Platinum Model. A key way to tell the 3KP (3hp) Jacuzzi pump from the generic pumps is that the Jacuzzi pump top discharge is in the center of the pump while the style pump being introduced has a side discharge. Second is the cone shape plumbing fitting verses the flat shape fitting mentioned above.

 

For Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath Spa Owner with spas built 1993-1999 you likely have one or two of the following pump and motors. This is call either the "J" pump or the "K" pump. See below to How to identify which you have.

This is Jacuzzi's most popular spa pump/motor from circa 1993 to 2002. This pump and motor is used on 2 pump systems and ONLY on 220-240vac. On spas with two identical pump/motors, this is the same for both. If one pump, motor is larger than the other, this is the #1 pump or heating/filter pump. The only exception are some of the Platinum series spas that use a small circulation pump which you will find at Circ Pump . On those spas with circulation pumps, this pump is not used at all.

This is Jacuzzi's most popular spa pump/motor from circa 1993 to 2002 for SINGLE, 2 Speed pump/motor. This pump and motor is used only on 1 pump systems with 115vac motors.

This is the pump/motor used on two pump systems with a HIGH or #2 pump that is larger than the other but still using the Jacuzzi Designed Pump. It's a 240v motor and used on most Platinum spas and the Z-255.

We get requests on how a spa can be upgraded with more power. The reason many think the spa is underpowered is the Jacuzzi J-Pump is a volume pump with low pressure. So it produces more bubbles and a gentle massage. That is why you typically can lie on a Jacuzzi jet for a long time and not be irritated. But many want the power of pressure. To do this you can do several things. First, if you have 2 pumps, add the 3 hp K-Pump at: 3HP and use the same fittings. So you get more power but keep the Jacuzzi volume designed pump.

You can retrofit another brand of pump/motor to give you the added pressure. The concern in doing this is space, replacement of pump unions (because Jacuzzi's unions are their patented design), and leaks with more power. Limited space or links are a remote possibility but you will have to replumb new unions to be able to mount these pressure pumps. To upgrade the power, we offer these:
