Description
Designed for spa professionals and dedicated enthusiasts, the Gecko AquaFlo XP2/XP2E 1.5 HP Wet End is a purpose-built upgrade that blends precision engineering with dependable, user‑centered performance. Built by Gecko Alliance—backed by 25 years crafting interfaces, controls, and pumps—the XP2/XP2E wet end delivers a thoughtful, intuitive experience from first install to long-term operation.
- Compatibility and versatility: 56 frame wet end designed for the XP2/XP2E pump family. Intended for use with a 2.0 HP, 56 frame, thru-bolt motor (motor and unions sold separately), with both single and dual‑speed options available.
- Flexible discharge orientation: Side discharge with a 2" MBT (Male Buttress Thread) connection allows the wet end to be rotated 90 degrees to change the discharge direction to suit your spa setup.
- Reliable, complete wet end assembly: Includes volute, seal, impeller, wear ring, suction cover, suction cover o‑ring, drain plug, drain plug o‑ring, suction cover screws, and suction cover hardware—everything you need for a straightforward swap.
- Precise, durable connections: 2" MBT suction and discharge connections, center suction style, and a 3‑1/16" OD suction connection for secure, leak‑tight piping.
- Strategic drain positioning: Drain plug locations at 4, 6, or 9 o’clock for flexible installation and maintenance access.
- Robust construction for spa environments: 6.3" diameter volute and 56 frame design offer dependable perfomance in typical spa pump applications, with eight screws securing the volute for a solid seal.
- Integrated with Gecko’s UX‑driven philosophy: Built to respond predictably to user input, helping spa operators experience smooth, reliable pump performance with every use.
The Gecko AquaFlo XP2/XP2E wet end is purpose-built for spa systems that demand both reliability and ease of service. Its 2" MBT suction and discharge, side discharge configuration, and 90-degree rotation capability make it a flexible choice for retrofit projects, upgrades, or replacements where a 56-frame, 1.5 HP wet end is appropriate. Because motor and unions are sold separately, you can tailor the setup to your existing or planned spa installation without unnecessary parts.
Key use cases include:
- Replacing a worn XP2/XP2E wet end in spas that require center suction with a 2" MBT piping layout.
- Upgrading to a Gecko XP2E configuration for improved control and compatibility with single or dual‑speed 2.0 HP motors.
- Installing in retrofit projects where discharge direction needs to be adjusted to fit equipment pads or spa enclosures.
