💪 Gecko Aqua-Flo Flo-Master FMHP Spa Pump — 3/4 HP 2-Speed 115V 48-Frame Side Discharge (02107000-1010)

Entry-level to mid-range spa pump with competition-beating flow rates and side discharge versatility

📋 Product Overview

The Gecko Aqua-Flo Flo-Master FMHP 02107000-1010 is a 3/4 HP (0.75 operational HP / 1.0 HP total) dual-speed jet pump engineered by Aqua-Flo by Gecko (Gecko Alliance Group) for portable spas, whirlpools, hot tubs, and above-ground pool applications. Operating at 115V/60Hz with high speed at 3450 RPM and low speed at 1725 RPM, this compact 48-frame thru-bolt pump features side discharge — the key difference from its center-discharge sibling, the FMCP. The discharge exits from the side of the pump housing while suction remains at center, with both ports sized at 1-1/2″ MBT (Male Buttress Thread) measuring approximately 2-3/8″ outside diameter across the threads. Designed with Aqua-Flo’s signature high-flow impeller that delivers up to 65 GPM — flow rates exceeding all tested competition at this horsepower — allowing a lower HP pump to do the same job for less operating cost. The FMHP is the perfect choice for entry-level and mid-range spas requiring greater output, and serves as a booster jet pump in multi-pump configurations. Each pump includes two quick-release compression fittings (unions) with O-rings for easy installation but does NOT include a pump cord. Built with a compact, unitized, single-spring elastomer bellows mechanical seal, built-in thermal overload protection, reinforced engineered plastic construction, and stainless steel volute fasteners. California Title 20 Compliant for energy efficiency. This 2-speed pump can also be used as a single-speed pump by wiring only the high-speed terminal. Backed by Gecko Alliance — headquartered in Québec, Canada with over 25 years of spa pump engineering expertise. The Flo-Master FMHP is one of the most widely used OEM spa pumps in North America.

Bonding Requirement (From Gecko Alliance Official Documentation — PDF 9919-101489-B)

Upon installation, the motor must be bonded with no smaller than a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) solid copper conductor per the National Electrical Code. The bonding connection should run from the accessible wire connector on the motor to all metal parts of the spa or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls of the spa or hot tub.

⚠️ IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL SAFETY:

All electrical installations must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building codes. This pump must be connected to a supply circuit protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Test the GFCI routinely — push the test button to verify it interrupts power, then push reset to restore power. If the GFCI interrupts power without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing — do not use the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative. A dedicated circuit is required — do not share with other appliances.

💡 Cord Options: This pump does NOT include a cord. Reuse your existing 2-speed pump cord or purchase separately. Compatible cord options include AMP-style pump cords (e.g., 30-1001C 2-speed AMP cord) or molded pump cords (e.g., 30-0220-48).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What horsepower is this pump? A: This pump is rated at 0.75 HP operational (OPHP) or equivalently 1.0 HP total. Aqua-Flo uses a dual rating system — “operational HP” is the continuous-duty output. Always match by amperage (7.8A high / 3.2A low at 115V) rather than HP alone.

Q: What is the difference between the FMHP and FMCP? A: The FMHP has side discharge — suction is center but discharge exits from the side. The FMCP has center discharge — both suction and discharge exit from the center/top. They share the same motor and frame but have different wet end housings. They also differ in drain plug locations — the FMHP has drain plugs at 6 and 9 o’clock, while the FMCP has them at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Check your existing pump’s discharge direction before ordering.

Q: What are the RPM speeds? A: High speed runs at 3450 RPM for maximum jet power. Low speed runs at 1725 RPM for quiet filtration and circulation.

Q: Is a cord included? A: No. This pump does NOT include a pump cord. Reuse your existing cord or purchase separately. Compatible options include AMP-style cords (30-1001C) or molded pump cords (30-0220-48).

Q: Are unions/fittings included? A: Yes. Two quick-release compression fittings (unions) with O-rings are included. Hand tighten only — do not use a wrench or any sealant on the compression fittings.

Q: What size are the ports? A: Suction (center) and discharge (side) are both 1-1/2″ MBT (Male Buttress Thread). The outside thread diameter measures approximately 2-3/8″ and connects to 1-1/2″ inner diameter spa plumbing.

Q: What voltage does this pump require? A: 115V (110-120V) / 60Hz single phase — standard household electrical service. All electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician with GFCI protection.

Q: Can I use this pump as single-speed? A: Yes. This 2-speed pump can be wired for single-speed operation by connecting only the high-speed terminal and leaving the low-speed terminal unconnected. Use a 3-wire single-speed cord instead of a 4-wire 2-speed cord.

Q: What is the flow rate? A: Up to 65 GPM (Hi-Flo). Aqua-Flo’s unique impeller design provides flow rates exceeding all tested competition at this horsepower.

Q: Should I use thread sealant tape on the fittings? A: NO — do NOT use any thread seal tape, Teflon compound, or sealant on Aqua-Flo compression fittings. The O-ring provides the seal. Hand tighten only. Thread sealant is ONLY for NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections.

How do I Replace a Hot Tub Pump?

Here's a general step-by-step guide on how to replace a hot tub pump. Keep in mind that the specific steps may vary depending on your hot tub's make and model, so it's essential to consult your hot tub's manual for model-specific instructions. If you're not comfortable with this procedure, it's a good idea to seek professional assistance.

Materials You'll Need:

• Replacement pump
• Pipe wrench
• Adjustable wrench
• Screwdriver
• Pipe sealant (thread tape or plumber's putty)
• PVC primer and cement (if you have PVC plumbing)
• Teflon tape (for threaded connections)

Procedure:

1. Turn Off the Power: Before you begin, ensure the hot tub's power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker or disconnect switch. Safety should always be a priority when working with electrical components.

2. Drain the Hot Tub: If your hot tub is not already empty, you'll need to drain it. Follow your hot tub's manual or manufacturer's instructions for proper draining. (You might not need to do this if you can lock the pump off with the gate valves)

3. Locate the Pump: Identify the location of the existing pump in your hot tub. It's usually located near the equipment area or in a designated pump compartment.

4. Disconnect the Electrical Wiring: Carefully disconnect the electrical wiring from the old pump. This typically involves removing the electrical conduit cover, unscrewing wire nuts, and disconnecting the wires from the terminals. Be sure to note the wire connections or take a picture for reference when connecting the new pump.

5. Disconnect the Plumbing: Depending on your hot tub's plumbing setup, you'll need to disconnect the plumbing connections to the pump. Use a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench to loosen and remove the fittings. Be prepared for some water spillage when disconnecting the plumbing.

6. Remove the Old Pump: Once the electrical and plumbing connections are detached, carefully remove the old pump from its mounting position. Some pumps may be secured with mounting brackets or bolts.

7. Prepare the New Pump: If the new pump is not pre-assembled, you may need to attach fittings, unions, or adapters to match your hot tub's plumbing. Ensure that you use the appropriate sealant or Teflon tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks.

8. Mount the New Pump: Position the new pump in the same location as the old one and secure it in place using the mounting brackets or bolts.

9. Reconnect Plumbing: Reconnect the plumbing to the new pump, ensuring that all connections are tight and secure. If your hot tub uses PVC plumbing, use PVC primer and cement to bond the connections properly.

10. Reconnect Electrical Wiring: Reconnect the electrical wiring to the new pump, following the notes or pictures you took earlier. Make sure all wires are properly connected and secure.

11. Turn On the Power: Restore power to the hot tub by switching on the circuit breaker or reconnecting the disconnect switch.

12. Test the Pump: Turn on the hot tub's pump to ensure that it's working correctly. Check for any signs of leaks or irregularities in the plumbing connections.

13. Refill the Hot Tub: Once you've confirmed that the new pump is functioning properly, refill the hot tub with water.

14. Check for Leaks: Inspect the plumbing connections for any leaks. If you find any, turn off the pump, drain the tub again, and reseal the connections as needed.

15. Monitor: Keep an eye on the pump and plumbing for the next few days to ensure everything is functioning correctly and that there are no further issues.

Remember that this is a general guideline, and the specific steps may vary based on your hot tub's design. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with any aspect of this process, please do get in touch, happy to help.

How do I know what size hot tub pump I have?

Determining the size of your hot tub pump is an important step when it comes to maintenance or replacement. To find out the size of your hot tub pump, follow these steps:

1. Check the Manual: The easiest way to determine the size of your hot tub pump is to consult the owner's manual or user documentation that came with your hot tub. The manual typically contains detailed information about the specifications and components of your hot tub, including the pump.

2. Look at the Pump Housing: If you don't have access to the manual or it doesn't provide the information you need, inspect the pump itself. Most hot tub pumps have a label or plate on the pump housing that displays essential details, including the pump's model number, manufacturer, and specifications. You can then send that to me or Google it.

3. Measure the Pump: If the label is missing or damaged, you can measure the pump's dimensions. Measure the diameter of the pump's wet end (the part where the water flows) and the length of the wet end. These measurements can help identify the size and capacity of the pump.

4. Consult the Manufacturer: If you can't find the information on the pump or in the manual, contact the hot tub manufacturer or a reputable dealer. Provide them with your hot tub's model and serial number, and they should be able to identify the correct pump size for your specific hot tub.

5. Online Research: You can also search online using the pump's model number or hot tub's make and model. Many manufacturers provide detailed information about their products on their websites, and you may find specifications for your pump model.

Once you have determined the size and specifications of your hot tub pump, you can proceed with maintenance, repairs, or replacement if necessary. Keep in mind that replacing a hot tub pump with the same size and capacity as the original is crucial to ensure proper water circulation and filtration in your hot tub.
