WatkinsOEM CIRC Pump, E5 60HZ, Circ Pump, E5 (Silentflo 5000 & 5002 Factory Replacement) for Hot Spring, Tiger River, Limelight spas

Solved my hot tub problem perfectly

Perfect replacement and easy install!

I was a little concerned when the pump that arrived was a different model than what is pictured and what I ordered. However it was said to be the replacement for the pump I thought I was getting. It bolted up fine and works great. Very quiet once again.

As described and has been running for a couple three months without a problem.

Pump is installed and working on a ~2007 Hot Springs Vanguard. Much quieter than the pump it replaced. As noted in other reviews, the pump is smaller than the one it replaced. As a result, new tubing is required. Pretty tricky to replace the tubing on a filled spa but it can be done if you have some help. I used some tubing from Lowes as a temporary fix. But will need to get some OEM tubing to be comfortable that it will last for multiple years.

The media could not be loaded. I replaced my silentflo 5000 on my hotsprings jetsetter and the plumbing fit perfectly! I needed to make new screw holes to secure the base, but it was very easy and I am not a fix it type person

The media could not be loaded. Although I had horrible issues with the first pump I received, the company was quick to send me a replacement that works perfectly. The issue was with the impeller being out of balance on the new pump and nothing I could do would fix it until I tried the old impeller from the broken pump on the new one. That Franken-pump ran fine until the new one arrived and actually worked with all its original parts. I updated from one to five stars as the second one works great and the customer service was great

I own a 2018 Hotsprings Flair model, and just recently, the Circ pump had gotten more and more noisy to the point where we were shutting it off at night because it interfered with sleep. This pump was an easy drop in replacement. Teh electrical connections matched the original and the water lines fit exactly. I waw some youtube videos, where the pump was replaced without draining the Spa, but I chose to drain mine as it was due anyway. Once I refilled, everything was back to normal. Nice, quiet, circulation.
