Independent Supplier & Replacement Part Notice
We are an independent parts supplier and are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Watkins, Hot Spring, Caldera, Tiger River, or Solana. These names and their part numbers are used only to identify compatibility.
We offer replacement parts as alternatives to spa-branded parts. When this listing identifies a part as the same original-manufacturer replacement, it is supplied under the component manufacturer’s branding and part number, which may differ from the Watkins or spa-brand label and number. Other compatible alternatives are identified in the individual product listing. Please review the listed specifications, fitment details, and any installation differences before ordering.
This dual-speed complete circulation pump features 1 Horse Power output with 10.3/3.8 Amp draw and utilizes a 48 Frame motor design. Manufactured by Guangdong LX, this model commonly displays part number 48WUA1001C-II on the label, particularly for Watkins-compatible versions. Reference the included video content for comprehensive identification guidance and verification steps to confirm this is your required replacement unit. Physical dimensions include approximately 7 1/4" measured across the pump face, roughly 7 3/8" from base to top of the volute pressure side, and 15" from rear to front edge. Both intake and discharge side threaded connections are designated as 2" x 2" specifications, though actual thread-to-thread measurement spans 3" edge to edge.
IMPORTANT: This pump shares visual similarities with Aqua-Flo and CMP models and functions as an interchangeable complete pump replacement. Critical selection note: verify you are ordering the correct 48 frame versus 56 frame version, as this 48 frame variant measures under 6" across the motor back, while 56 frame models exceed 6" in that dimension.
Bleeder component compatibility notice: If your existing wet end includes a bleeder barb and the original bleeder screws feature flat-head screwdriver slots, a replacement bleeder barb will be required. Original equipment with wing nut style bleeders indicates you possess the updated bleeder barb design and replacement is only necessary if damaged.
