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 comprehensive repair kit is specifically designed for Watkins spa pumps identified as Vendor Code 4081, commonly known as the Wavemaster 5000 series. The complete package includes one shaft seal assembly, one bearing, a professional installation tool, and a 1/2 oz tube of The Professor's Silly Juice—a specialized silicon sealer formulated specifically for hot tub applications.
Important Compatibility Note: Watkins utilized four different wet end manufacturers under the Wavemaster designation. Verify your pump label displays one of these vendor numbers: 4081, 33980, 34677, or 36745 before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
