Meet the Gecko (Aqua Flo) Flo-Master TMCP Tubmaster — a purpose-built bath pump crafted for reliable, everyday spa and tub circulation. This 3/4 horsepower, single-speed pump is designed to power baths and whirlpools with a compact footprint, making it a smart upgrade for tub installations that demand steady flow without the complexity of an air-switch system.

Key features that matter for performance and longevity:

• Horsepower and power: 3/4 HP motor that delivers dependable circulation for residential baths and small spa tubs.
• Voltage and current: 115V operation with a practical 10 A draw, compatible with typical home electrical setups.
• Single-speed design: Simple, consistent operation — fewer failure points and straightforward installation.
• Bottom suction, center discharge: Efficient water pickup from the tub sump with a clean, centralized discharge path for flexible plumbing layouts.
• Connections and piping: 2-7/16" O.D. suction and discharge connections with 1-1/2" pipe size; both features use male buttress thread (MBT) for secure, leak-resistant fittings.
• Compact, robust build: 48-frame motor with a 6-screw volute fastener for a secure, durable seal between the motor and wet end.
• Designed for compatibility: Impeller number 91693601 and wet end number 91041010 ensure you’re selecting the right components for a compatible swap or installation.
• Brand and lineage: Gecko under the AquaFlo umbrella, part of the Tubmaster family (TMCP) — a trusted choice for bath pumps that rely on proven performance.
• No air switch required: A traditional, straightforward bath pump setup that minimizes maintenance points and simplifies wiring and installation.

Why this pump is a smart choice for your bath or spa

The Gecko Tubmaster TMCP is purposefully engineered to meet the demands of home baths, whirlpools, and spa tubs where consistent flow is essential for jet performance and water circulation. Its bottom-suction intake ensures reliable prime from standard tub basins, while the center discharge provides flexible routing to most tub plumbings. With MBT threaded connections and 1-1/2" piping, it fits common spa and bathtub configurations without the need for adapters or custom fittings.

Practical use cases and installation notes

• Direct replacement in spas and whirlpool baths: If your tub uses a Tubmaster TMCP style pump, this unit offers a straightforward swap with identical port spacings and connection types.
• New tub installations: Ideal for compact spa setups where space is at a premium and a simple, reliable 115V pump is preferred over more complex multi-speed options.
• Low-maintenance operation: The no-air-switch design reduces potential leak points and simplifies electrical considerations in load-bearing bathroom installations.
• Versatile plumbing compatibility: With 2-7/16" O.D. MBT connections and 1-1/2" pipes, it accommodates standard tub plumbing while allowing clean center-discharge routing for modular builds.

Installation tips and care

• Ensure power is off before wiring or servicing. This unit is designed for typical 115V circuits; verify local electrical codes and dedicated circuit requirements.
• Check all MBT fittings for proper torque to prevent leaks at suction and discharge ports.
• Use the standard 1-1/2" piping on both suction and discharge to maintain adequate flow and minimize head loss.
• Confirm compatible wet end and impeller parts (91693601 and 91041010) if you’re matching an existing setup or ordering replacement components.
• Periodically inspect the volute screws; a 6-screw design helps maintain a tight seal and efficient performance over time.

Designed for enthusiasts and professionals alike, the Gecko (Aqua Flo) TMCP Tubmaster bath pump delivers dependable circulation without the overhead of complicated controls. Its robust build, precise MBT-threaded connections, and user-friendly 1-spd operation make it a practical choice for upgrading or installing a spa, hot tub, or bath system that prioritizes consistent jet action and reliable water movement.
