How long does a hot tub pump last?

A hot tub pump is one of the longest-lasting parts in your hot tub, with a lifespan of about 7 to 10 years. Like hot tub heaters, you don’t have to replace your pump nearly as often as you have to replace the filter. 

However, hot tub pumps may not last as long if you don’t maintain the correct chemical balance in your water. Corrosion can cause significant problems, impacting the effectiveness of spa pumps.

How do you choose the correct pump for my hot tub?

Whether you’re looking for a hot tub cover or a replacement hot tub pump, you need to choose parts that are compatible with your tub. Finding the correct hot tub motor replacement for your tub is simple when you shop at Easy Spa Parts.

When you click on a product, you can see a list of all the compatible hot tubs. Look for your tub model and year on the list to order the appropriate part.

How much does a new spa pump cost?

Hot tub pumps cost more than smaller hot tub parts that need to be replaced often. At Easy Spa Parts, you can find hot tub pumps starting at $150. However, some of our more powerful hot tub pumps cost more than $300. 

The cost of your replacement spa pump depends on your hot tub model and the horsepower, volts, and amps required. Choosing the right spa pump is essential if you want your hot tub jets and filter to work correctly.

How long should a hot tub pump stay on?

Generally, you should only run your hot tub pump for approximately three hours each day. Running your hot tub pump too frequently can cause it to wear out prematurely, meaning you have to spend money on a replacement pump sooner rather than later. Treating your water, running the hot tub pump correctly, and cleaning your water filter regularly can help you extend the life of your pump and increase the longevity of several other electronic parts.

How do you know if a hot tub pump is working correctly?

Hot tub pumps are usually quiet, so it can be hard to tell if your pump works. However, if you hear a very light noise when you put your ear close to your pump, it’s likely working. If you hear a gurgling or grinding sound, there may be an issue with your pump. When you notice strange sounds coming from your hot tub pump, it’s usually time for a replacement.
