Waterway 3420610-1A 1.5HP Executive Spa Pump | 115V

The Waterway Executive 48 Pump 3420610-1A is a high-performance two-speed spa pump designed for strong flow output, quiet low-speed operation, and long service life in demanding spa environments. Powered by a one-point-five horsepower motor at one hundred fifteen volts, it delivers high-speed water movement for rapid turnover while also offering a low-speed mode that supports quieter, energy-efficient circulation. The 48-Frame through-bolt motor and two inch suction and discharge unions simplify installation and align easily into standard spa plumbing. Its rotatable six-and-a-half inch wet end can be positioned in ninety-degree increments, allowing flexible plumbing orientation during replacement or new installs. Built with corrosion-resistant materials and full thermal protection, the 3420610-1A withstands heat, chemicals, and continuous run conditions common in spa systems.

Highlights

• Two-Speed One-Point-Five Horsepower Output: High-speed mode draws roughly thirteen-point-three amps for strong water movement, while low speed around four-point-one amps supports quieter, energy-saving circulation.

• 48-Frame Motor with Two Inch Ports: Standard spa-class configuration offers broad compatibility with common equipment packs, manifolds, and two inch plumbing.

• Rotatable Wet End: Six-and-a-half inch wet end rotates in ninety-degree increments to match plumbing orientation, reducing installation complexity.

• Corrosion-Resistant and Thermally Protected: Engineered for spa conditions with materials that withstand chemical exposure, temperature swings, and extended runtime.
