Product Description
This motor (Only) is a replacement for some Watkins Wavemaster 7000, 8000 or 9000 replacement, 39577 Code 06290, 115V or 230V, (1) Speed, 20.0Amp or 10.0Amp, 48 frame pump.. Keep in mind if you choose this high amperage pump and have a tub with a wall style 115V plug this pump may draw too much amperage to work with your heater on a wall plug.. Always match the amperage when choosing a replacement 115v pump with the previous motor or you could create some over amperage issues with your hot tub..
NOTE: These motors will sometimes have a sticker that says 2.5HP but it is a 2.0HP pump.. Note: This pump and motor may come where the wet end is not installed on the motor but it is easy to do..
For a Complete Pump and Motor Click this link: Complete Pump, 39577, Watkins, Wavemaster 9000, 2.0HP, 115v/230V, 20.0A/10.0A, 48 frame, 2"x 2", 1 Speed, Vendor 4081
BIG NOTE: If this pump is pump #2 on your hot tub meaning you have 2 big pumps one is the 2 speed and this one is a one speed then there is a better more reliable choice and that choice would be here: Complete Pump, 39578, Watkins, Wavemaster, 2.5HP, 230v, 2-spd, 48frame, 2", 1 or 2 speed 10.7A
NOTE: We do not recommend using the air vent found on the back of Watkins brand pumps as it will lessen the life of your motor because it will not allow it to cool..
If this pump is the only Jet pump and you have circulation pump and your tub is plugged into 115V not 230V there is a better choice here:

Read this information to Help to determine the Frame and HP.. The way you can determine whether your pump is a 48 or 56 Frame is by measuring the width of the motor. A 48 Frame motor will measure 5 3/4" wide across the back and a 56 Frame will measure about 6 1/2" wide across the back.
For 230 Volt Pumps Look on the label of the motor for the two amperages if you have a 2 speed pump, if its a single speed look for a single amperage. It will look something like this: 10.0/3.5 The 10.0 is the high amperage in this example.
8.0 = 1 HP
10.0 = 2 HP
12.0 = 3 HP
14.0 = 4 HP
16.0 = 5 HP
For 115 Volt Pumps Look on the label of the motor for the two amperages if you have a 2 speed pump, if its a single speed look for a single amperage. It will look something like this: 10.8/2.8 The 10.8 is the high amperage in this example and would equate to a 1 HP.
8.0 = .5 HP
9.0-10.0 = .75 HP
10.0-13.00 = 1 HP
13.5-15.0 = 1.5 HP
16.0-20.0 = 2 HP
Note: These Amperages are Averages so find the Amperage closest to your pumps Amperage. Note for the Note: 2HP 115V pumps are very rare, do not order one thinking you can add more power. This pump or even a 1.5HP pump will cause your PLug N Play tub to damage the electrical system, Plug, Wires and even the pump motor.
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 they have 5 HP pumps, if you do the math two 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.
