Description
The Gecko AquaFlo XP2 3.0 HP Flo-Master Wet End is a purpose-built 56-frame spa pump wet end designed to deliver steady, dependable water flow for hot tubs and spas. Built with Gecko Alliance’s 25+ years of experience in interface and control design, this wet end emphasizes intuitive operation, durable construction, and reliable performance that spa users can feel with every cycle.
Key design points that set this wet end apart:
- 56-frame compatibility with precise bolt spacing: engineered for a snug, secure fit in standard spa footprints. Top-through-bolt spacing can be 6.1 (4 inches) or 6.3 (4-1/8 inches), so you can match the mounting layout you already have for a seamless install.
- 2" MBT connections on both suction and discharge: male buttress thread (MBT) ports with 3-1/16" od for clean, secure hose or pipe connections that resist leaks and vibration.
- Center suction and side discharge: flexible plumbing configuration that supports common spa plumbing layouts while maintaining efficient flow paths.
- Drain plug locations at 4, 6, and 9 o’clock: convenient service access so maintenance and impeller checks can be performed without disassembly.
- 8-screw volute fastening: a robust, durable attachment that helps resist wear and keeps the pump assembly tightly sealed over time.
- Impeller reference 91694300: aligns with Gecko’s Flo-Master XP2 family for predictable performance and compatibility when sourcing parts or replacements.
- 3.0 HP motor integration: designed to work harmoniously with XP2 systems to maintain reliable flow rates and efficient operation in spa applications.
Why upgrade or specify Gecko AquaFlo XP2 components? This wet end draws on Gecko’s philosophy of meaningful design that balances simplicity, elegance, and performance. It’s crafted to reduce installation guesswork, deliver consistent water movement, and stand up to the routine demands of spa use—whether you’re a homeowner refreshing an aging system or a professional installer building dependable spa packages.
Ideal use cases include replacing a worn or incompatible spa wet end on a 56-frame Flo-Master XP2 pump, integrating into new spa builds that require a 2" MBT suction and discharge configuration, or upgrading to a reliable Gecko solution that offers a cost-effective alternative to higher-priced brands without compromising on essential performance.
Practical considerations and tips:
- Match the top-thru-bolt spacing (4.0" for 6.1 or 4-1/8" for 6.3) to ensure a proper seal and straightforward mounting.
- Verify 2" MBT connections and 3-1/16" OD ports align with your spa plumbing, then use appropriate gaskets and thread sealant for a leak-free setup.
- Reference the 91694300 impeller number if you’re sourcing compatible parts or confirming pump-family compatibility during service.
