Description
The Gecko AquaFlo Flo-Master XP3 pump is built for spa owners who demand serious jet power without hoops to jump through. Designed by Gecko Alliance, with 25 years of experience shaping spa interfaces and controls, this pump delivers elevated flow for larger, jet-rich spas and simplified installation that saves time and money.
Key advantages that matter in real use
- Higher flow for bigger spas: The XP3 pump is tuned to move more water, letting you add more jets per pump or reduce the need for a diverter valve, which simplifies plumbing and lowers equipment costs.
- 2-speed operation: Switch between efficient low-speed for quiet, everyday operation and full-flow high speed when you want a deeper massage or rapid circulation.
- Robust, long-lasting design: Continuous duty 2.5 HP capability with a thermally protected motor and a durable 56-frame thru-bolt construction, built to endure frequent use.
- Easy installation in tight spaces: Wet end can be rotated for flexible mounting and alignment, accommodating a wide range of spa layouts without custom adapters.
- Ready for modern spa configurations: 2-1/2" intake and discharge with center suction, plus MBT threads on both ends for reliable, leak-resistant connections.

- Installations with diverse spa footprints where rotating the wet end simplifies alignment and piping routing
Practical considerations and tips
- Plan for 2-1/2" piping on both suction and discharge to maximize flow and minimize pressure loss.
- Leverage the center suction configuration to fit spas with compact plenums; the MBT connections provide secure, serviceable joints.
