WE10 SPA Circulation Pump, Hot Tub Circulation Pump 230 Volts, 0.25HP, 3/4" Port Compatible with OEM E5/E10- Model: WE10(230V)

Been working a few months. Bought this after I had a Laing fail after 1 year & a Grundfos failed on delivery. Been in 2 months and works well. It is louder than others, but that's because the motor is cooled by fan unlike others. Also good radiator fins, so likely handles heat well. Hope it holds up sBut so far it works well. Can't see in photo but cord is about 6 ft. with female spade connectors on black and white wires. Green ground has no connector.

Bought a year ago and still working great... Easy to install.... Worth the money! Would buy again.

This pump is substantially larger than the old Watkins pump that finally failed after 23 years of running 24/7. That size difference forced me to slightly relocate the tub's heater. Moving these parts around necessitated replacing the ¾" connecting hoses (which I had planned to do anyway, as the old ones were opaque, rock hard, and difficult to work with). Found a 10-ft section of reinforced PVC hose at Lowes. Tip: using a heat gun (on LOW) to warm up the PVC hoses, and putting a bit of plumber's silicone grease on the pump-to-hose flanges makes slipping the hoses onto the pump much easier.Once everything was connected, this pump works perfectly. As I already mentioned, it's quite a bit larger than the OE pump (and twice the HP), so I think it's just a bit louder than the stock pump (which is no longer available). No big deal, but the sound of the pump running is noticeable when you're in the tub. I'm pretty sure that it's moving more water, so filtration should be better than stock. Yes, I'd buy it again.Oh, and I had a technical question about the motor, left an Amazon message for the seller, and received a response within minutes. That's impressive.Update: just after the one-year warranty expired, the pump started turning itself off for several minutes, then back on. When the pump goes off, the spa controller automatically turns off the heater. In my spa, the heater never comes back on, even if the circ pump starts back up. So, cold tub. I have a new (different) pump on order.One more thing: according to the label, this pump draws 1.8 amps, or about 218 watts. That's a lot! Running 24 hr/day means that I was paying about $26/month (@17¢/kwh) just to run the circ pump! The new pump I just ordered supposedly draws 39 watts, less than a fifth of this one. Live and learn, right?

The install went well on our 20-year-old Jacuzzi, but compared to the Italian pump (I had replaced this pump before), this sucker is loud. Unfortunately that is a real downside while you're using the the tub, because this thing is extremely noticeable.

Worked for 5 months and quit. Company refunded full amount. Very quick response and service. Will reorder a new pump.

It should’ve lasted for years

Replaced the original motor.The original was mounted vertical, I was told for cooling to mount the replacement horizontally.In order to do that I had to replace the hoses on each side.This was installed 2 days ago and was fairly easy.The pump seems to be running cool, it's fairly quiet and seems to push the water a little harder than stock.
