Waterway Pump Models - For Hot Tubs And Pools

Spas are making their way into the homes of more and more people. The prices for hot tubs and spas have fallen down significantly and this makes hot tubs affordable. Depending on the space available to put the hot tub, on your budget and desired model, there are many types available on the market. They are built out of several materials (cheaper models are made of plastic, while ones that are more expensive are made of glass fiber, and most of the time without that very popular hi-flo) and they are finished in many colors to suit any space. However, before going out to buy a hot tub, you should read a couple of things about how spas and hot tubs are built, what their main components are and what to ask the supplier. By asking many questions, the vendor will see that you are interested in that topic and you can avoid buying a low quality hot tub. One of the main components of a hot tub is its pump. Depending on the amount of water, it requires to move around, there are smaller pumps and more powerful water pumps. You can buy a cheaper pump, but you do not have any guarantee that it will last you for many years.

Waterway is one of the most important water pumps manufacturers on the market. They have become known for their high quality products and reliable water pumps. The Waterway range of products includes small pumps suitable for small hot tubs and extending to powerful five horsepower models suitable for large hot tubs and pools. They are made of quality materials (high resistance steels and all the metals used in creating the pumps have been treated against rust). They also produce single speed pumps for small and medium spas and multiple speeds pumps that can be used either to save energy or to fast refill the pool with water. All the windings inside these pumps are properly insulated to increase efficiency. They are also designed to reduce the amount of noise the pump generates as one of the most annoying things when taking a spa bath is to constantly hear the pump's buzz. The environmental impact of their pumps and all their models are designed with electricity savings in mind.

The hot tub's pump is its most important part but also its most sensitive element. The water used in hot tubs may not be perfectly clean as it may contain residue, dust or a high level of calcium. In time, these factors can clog the pump and even break it down. Waterway recommends using an efficient filter for their pumps and a series of special cleaning substances to eliminate the calcium from the internal mechanisms of the pump. By properly maintaining your hot tub, you can be sure that it will function flawlessly for many years. Water leakages and extreme heat are two of the most dangerous enemies of any water pumps. They include seals around the electric motor and 48 or 56 frame motor for a cooler and safer operating temperature and a longer motor life. The pumps are tested before reaching the market and before being included in pre-installed hot tubs.
