💡 Note: This FMHP pump is also the replacement option for the “Relia-Flo” pumps by Caldera Spas. Verify motor amp rating, voltage, and discharge type and fitting size to match.
💡 HP Rating Note: In 2012, Gecko Alliance changed the way Aqua-Flo pumps are rated. Pumps are now assigned both an operational horsepower (OHP) and a total horsepower (THP) rating. Previous versions used only the operational horsepower. If you are replacing an older Aqua-Flo pump, match the operational HP rating (1.0 HP) rather than the total HP (1.5 HP).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What horsepower is this pump? A: This pump is rated at 1.0 operational horsepower (OHP) and 1.5 total horsepower (THP). When replacing an older Aqua-Flo pump, match the operational HP rating.
Q: Will this fit my hot tub? A: This pump has a 48-frame thru-bolt design with 1-1/2″ MBT connections and side (offset) discharge. Check your existing pump’s frame type, port size, and critically, the discharge position (side vs. center) before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between FMHP and FMCP? A: The FMHP has side (offset) discharge – the pressure output is on the right side of the wet end. The FMCP has center discharge – the pressure output is dead center on top. These are not interchangeable without replumbing. Always match the discharge position of your existing pump.
Q: What voltage does this pump require? A: 115V / 60Hz. All electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Using the wrong voltage will damage the motor.
Q: Is a power cord included? A: No, the power cord is sold separately. You can reuse your existing cord or purchase a compatible cord such as the 30-1001C (2-speed AMP pump cord) or 30-0220-48 (molded pump cord).
Q: What size are the ports? A: Both suction and discharge are 1-1/2″ Male Buttress Thread (MBT). The threads measure approximately 2-3/8″ outside diameter.
Q: Is this a single or dual speed pump? A: This is a 2-speed pump. High speed powers the jets for hydrotherapy; low speed provides energy-efficient filtration and circulation.
Q: What seal does this pump use? A: The PS-200 (#200) seal, part number 92500150. This is a compact, unitized, single spring elastomer bellows mechanical seal.
Q: Can this pump replace my 1-speed FMHP pump? A: Yes. The 2-speed 02110000-1010 replaces the discontinued 1-speed 02010000-1010. A 2-speed pump can also be operated as a single speed where the low speed is simply not used.
Q: Does this pump replace Caldera “Relia-Flo” pumps? A: Yes, this FMHP pump is a replacement option for Relia-Flo pumps by Caldera Spas. Verify the motor amp rating, voltage, and discharge type before ordering.
Q: Do I need a GFCI breaker? A: Yes, GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for all hot tub and spa installations.
Q: What replacement parts are available for this pump? A: Key replacement parts include: Impeller 1.0HP (91693601), Volute FMHP Series (92770501), Seal #200 (92500150), Wear Ring (92830062), Suction Cover FMHP (91231301), Complete Wet End 1.0HP (91040700-000), and O-ring Volute #158 (92200090).
Q: Will the motor have a capacitor on top? A: OEM pump manufacturers may change motor styles without notice. The pump may ship with or without a run capacitor mounted on top of the motor. Allow clearance for a capacitor approximately 6″ long x 2.5″ tall x 2.25″ wide under your spa cabinet.
Q: How do I know if my pump needs replacing? A: Signs include unusual noise (grinding, screeching), water leaking from the shaft seal, reduced water flow, the motor tripping the circuit breaker, or the motor overheating and cycling on and off.

🔧 Troubleshooting Quick Reference
| Problem | Possible Causes |
|---|---|
| Motor will not start | Check circuit breaker; check for incorrect or loose wire connections; verify correct power supply; check on/off switch is in “on” mode |
| Motor overheating and cycling | Check for incorrect or loose wire connections; check for low voltage supply (often caused by undersized wire); ensure motor gets fresh air supply and vents are unclogged |
| Motor hums but won’t start | Check for low voltage supply; ensure motor shaft turns freely; check for jammed impeller or obstruction in volute |
| Excessive noise | Check plumbing vibration and support; check for cavitation due to obstructed or undersized suction line |
| Pump won’t prime | Verify pump is at proper level; open air control valves to release air lock; ensure suction and discharge lines are clear and all valves are open; check for air leaks in suction line |
| Low water flow | Check for clogged plumbing lines; check for worn or damaged impeller; check for low voltage; check filter pressure gauge |
| Water leaks | Check shaft rotary seal for contamination or damage; check compression fittings alignment and tighten by hand only; check o-rings are properly seated |
