Product Description
Aqua-Flo XP2e series impellers for 56 frame wetends and pumps. It is recommended that your shaft seal is changed along with this impeller.
You will choose which Impeller to order by 2 Factors - First be sure the eye width is 2 3/8" or 2 5/8" and Second, choose the HP by the original impeller measurments and the chart below with the Voltage and Amperage.
Please Note: This impeller will not fit the XP and XP2 wetends and pumps. For XP2 2 1/8" Eye impellers see Product Code: AF-XP2-IMP
After you choose the correct Impeller you will be able to add Seals kits, Bearings, Face O-Rings and more before you check out.
Here is a video to help you decide which impeller you need:

Complete Wetend, Aqua-Flo XP2, XP2e 56-Frame, Side Discharge, 1.5 HP - 4.0 HP
These are examples of how to measure the eye width or the wear ring inside measurement:
Do Not choose a Larger Impeller thinking that it will make your Hot Tub Stronger it will only damage the Motor and make it run hot on high speed as well as there are (3) different size wear rings on the impellers so if you choose a different size impeller your wear ring may not work. Measure your wear ring to determine which impeller section you should be in.. 2 1/8" is here. 2 3/8" or 2 5/8" would be under Xp2e look for the eye sizes in the impeller description area...
Note: A 115v motor that uses a 1.5 HP Impeller would show about 14.0 Amps on high speed a 230V motor would show about 9.0 Amps on High. See chart below for other Horsepowers.
To determine the HP refer to the chart below..
You must go by the Amperage Sticker on the motor not stickers on the Wet End or Motor especially the BHP Stickers.
Look on the label of the motor for the two amperages if you have a 2 speed pump or if its a single speed look for a single amperage. An example will look something like this: 10.0/3.5 The 10.0 is the high amperage in this example.
115V Chart Below
3/4HP 8-9 Amps
1HP 11-12 Amps
1.5HP 16-17 Amps
2HP 19-20 Amps. 2HP would be very rare.
230V Chart Below
8.0 = 1 HP
10.0 = 2 HP
12.0 = 3 HP
14.0 = 4 HP
16.0 = 5 HP
NOTE: Your pump or motor may say a different Horse Power than what you see here, DO NOT go by what is listed on the motor, go by the amperage on the label.
NOTE for the NOTE: TRUST ME ON THIS, everybody lies about their Horse Power. But the amperage does not lie. Most people are told incorrectly that they have 5 HP pumps.
If you do the math two 230V 5 HP pumps at 16 amps is: 32 amps. Plus a 5.5 KW heater is: + 21 amps.
That means with both pumps running and the heater on it will draw = 53 AMPS.
I bet your HOT TUB is on a 50 AMP breaker…... Therefore contrary to what you have been told you DO NOT have a 5 or 6 or 7 Hp pump.
