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.

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. |

The Piranha pump is a high pressure pump used on
some Platinum spas
including Pinnacle, Triton, and some Quantum
Plus and other late models. |

OK, it gets a little confusing so stay with me. The original Piranha pump
was a 3hp high pressure pump/motor. Jacuzzi has gone to a 2.5hp as it's
replacement equal since it no longer offers the Piranha.
You likely will not tell any
difference in performance. That
replacement is 6500-763 listed on
left. The JPS replacement equal motor is 6500-271 and pump only
CC-JPS-2.5 Pump. |
|
Now, if you only want the pump/wetend
because the motor is fine, that part is CC-3hp Wet end |
|
If you want to replace
pump/motor with a 3hp
pump/motor, that is the
CC-3HP-62. |

Some
Platinum models have circulation pumps. The early
Pinnacles originally had a "Mighty Mite" pump
(seen left) that
Jacuzzi changed to a larger circulation pump (seen
middle). If your spa has the
larger circ pump already, the 2500-259 is the proper
replacement. If you have a spa with a smaller BLACK
circulation pump used since 2001 that sits just below the control box on
the front door access, then you need the 6500-035. |

Early production of the "Pinnacle
Spas used the Tiny Might to the
left. If that unit failed under
warranty, Jacuzzi replaced with circ
pump above. This required plumbing
changes as well as electrical
modification. The end result was the
above pump/motor that ran on 220v.
This is the kit used to change from
the Tiny Might to the above

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.
Or
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: |
