🔋 LX Lingxiao 56WUA400-I Spa Pump — 4.0 HP 1-Speed 230V 56-Frame 2″ × 2″ Side Discharge

Energy-efficient single-speed jet pump — direct OEM replacement for Sundance and Jacuzzi spas

📋 Product Overview

The LX Lingxiao 56WUA400-I is a 4.0 HP brake torque (2.5 HP continuous duty) single-speed, 56-frame jet pump drawing 12.0 amps at 230V/60Hz. Manufactured by Guangdong Lingxiao Pump Industry Co., Ltd. — one of the world’s largest OEM spa pump producers — this pump is used as a factory-installed component in Sundance, Jacuzzi, Clearwater, Divine, and other major spa brands. The 56WUA400-I features 2″ MBT connections on both suction (center) and discharge (side), with the discharge rotatable in 90-degree increments for flexible plumbing alignment. Flow rate reaches up to 202 GPM with a maximum operating pressure of 0.3 MPa (~43.5 PSI). This pump comes equipped with mounting base/feet, two sets of 2″ pump unions, an instruction manual, and a wiring diagram. Cord is NOT included — reuse your existing cord or purchase separately. The 56WUA400-I is a direct replacement for the Sundance/Jacuzzi OEM pump 6500-352 and is compatible with many 2007+ J-Series models. This is the single-speed version of the popular 56WUA400 family — the dual-speed version is 56WUA400-II (12.0A/4.4A). The 56WUA400-I also serves as a cost-effective alternative to the Gecko Aqua-Flo XP2e 4.0 HP 56-frame single-speed pumps. Backed by a 1-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

⚠️ IMPORTANT — WITH BASE vs BRACKETLESS: This pump (56WUA400-I) comes WITH a welded-on mounting base/feet. If your spa uses a bracket-mounted pump (common on Sundance/Jacuzzi spas), you need the bracketless version 56WUA400-I(NF) plus the Sundance/Jacuzzi mounting bracket 6000-535 (sold separately). Verify your mounting style before ordering.

💡 How to Determine Your Mounting Type: Look at your existing pump. If it sits on welded-on feet/base attached to the pump body, order the standard 56WUA400-I. If it’s held by a clamp-style bracket attached to the motor, order 56WUA400-I(NF) plus bracket 6000-535.

Single-Speed vs Dual-Speed — 56WUA400 Family

Model	Speed	Amperage	Best For
56WUA400-I (THIS PUMP)	1-Speed	12.0A	Dedicated jet pump (separate circ pump handles filtration)
56WUA400-II	2-Speed	12.0A / 4.4A	Combined jet + filtration (low speed for filtration)

💡 The 2-speed 56WUA400-II can also function as a 1-speed pump by connecting only the high-speed terminal and leaving low speed unconnected (using a 3-wire cord instead of 4-wire).

🛠️ Installation Requirements

Mounting

Requirement	Specification
Mounting Position	Horizontal — below water level (flooded suction)
Mounting Style	With base/feet (standard 56WUA400-I) — sits on flat surface
Base	Solid, level, vibration-dampening surface
Ventilation	Adequate clearance around motor for air cooling
Access	Sufficient clearance for maintenance and wet end rotation

Plumbing

Connection	Size	Notes
Suction	2″ MBT (Center)	~3″ outside thread diameter
Discharge	2″ MBT (Side)	~3″ outside thread diameter
Unions	INCLUDED (two sets of 2″)	Use supplied unions for best seal

Installation Notes

⚠️ Flooded Suction Required: This pump must be installed at or below the water level of the spa for proper operation.

⚠️ Never Run Pump Dry: Always ensure the pump casing is filled with water before starting. Running dry causes immediate seal damage and motor overheating.

⚠️ Discharge Rotation: The discharge ships at the 12:00 position and can be rotated to 3:00 or 9:00 by rotating the wet end. The wet end can be rotated in 90-degree increments to match your existing plumbing alignment.

⚠️ Cord NOT Included: This pump ships without a power cord. Reuse your existing single-speed (3-wire) pump cord or purchase separately. Always refer to the wiring diagram included with the pump.

⚠️ Unions INCLUDED: Two sets of 2″ unions are included. The manufacturer recommends using the supplied unions for the best seal. Unions from different sources may have slight dimensional variations.

⚠️ Bonding Wire Required: The motor must be bonded with no smaller than a No. 8 AWG solid copper conductor per the National Electrical Code (NEC).

⚠️ GFCI Protection Required: All spa and hot tub installations require GFCI protection per the National Electrical Code (NEC).

⚠️ Retrofitting Older Sundance/Jacuzzi Pumps: If replacing 6500-901, 6500-902, or 6500-903, some modifications may be needed. Use the bracketless version 56WUA400-I(NF) with bracket 6000-535 for best fit.

🔧 Maintenance Guide

Routine Maintenance

Task	Frequency	Notes
Check for leaks	Monthly	Inspect around seal area, unions, and volute housing
Inspect plumbing connections	Monthly	Check union gaskets and o-rings for tight seal
Check amperage draw	Annually	Should be approximately 12.0A at 230V
Keep motor clean	Quarterly	Ensure all air openings are free from debris
Verify GFCI operation	Monthly	Press test button to confirm proper function
Inspect mounting base/feet	Quarterly	Verify bolts remain tight and base is secure
Check drain plug(s)	Quarterly	Verify tight seal at 3, 6, or 9 o’clock positions

Warning Signs — Replace Pump If:

• Unusual noise (grinding, screeching, or humming without rotation)
• Water leaking from the seal area between motor and wet end
• Motor repeatedly trips the circuit breaker or GFCI
• Noticeably reduced water flow or weak jets
• Motor overheating or burning smell
• Motor hums but won’t start (possible capacitor failure)
• Excessive vibration even on solid mounting
• Amperage draw significantly higher or lower than 12.0A

Seal Information

Detail	Specification
Seal Part Number	SEAL-56WUA
Also Known As	SEAL-48WUA, SEAL-WP-LP, 1-05-0159
Seal Type	Ceramic/Graphite/Viton
Compatibility	Fits all 48WUA and 56WUA series LX pumps (up to 4HP)

⚠️ Replace seal at first sign of leakage from between the motor and wet end. Consider replacing the complete wet end (56WUA400-IIWE) instead of just the seal — it comes pre-assembled with a new impeller, seal, diffuser, and volute housing.

⚠️ Important Seal Note: The LX WUA pump seal (SEAL-56WUA) is NOT the same as the Sundance/Jacuzzi pump seal found in some Theramax models. Verify your wet end brand before ordering — the seal must match the wet end manufacturer, not the spa brand.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a 4.0 HP or 2.5 HP pump? A: Both ratings describe the same pump. 4.0 HP is the brake torque horsepower (BHP) — the marketing rating used in aftermarket listings. 2.5 HP is the continuous duty rating — the rating used on original Sundance/Jacuzzi OEM labels (6500-352). Amazon’s Lingxiao official listing confirms both: “4.0 horsepower spa pump, Output power: 2.5HP.” The 12.0A amperage draw is the most reliable specification for replacement matching.

Q: Will this replace my Sundance pump 6500-352? A: Yes. The 56WUA400-I is the direct replacement for the Sundance/Jacuzzi OEM pump 6500-352. If your spa uses a bracket-mounted pump, order the bracketless version 56WUA400-I(NF) plus bracket 6000-535.

Q: What is the difference between the 56WUA400-I and 56WUA400-II? A: The 56WUA400-I is single-speed (12.0A only). The 56WUA400-II is dual-speed (12.0A high / 4.4A low). If your spa uses a 2-speed pump for both jet operation and filtration, you need the 56WUA400-II.

Q: What is the difference between the standard and NF (bracketless) version? A: The standard 56WUA400-I has a welded-on mounting base with feet. The 56WUA400-I(NF) has no base and requires a clamp-style mounting bracket (Sundance/Jacuzzi part 6000-535). Both have identical pump performance.

Q: Are pump unions included? A: Yes. Two sets of 2″ unions are included. The manufacturer recommends using the supplied unions for the best seal.

Q: Is a cord included? A: No. This pump ships without a power cord. Reuse your existing single-speed (3-wire) pump cord or purchase separately. The wiring diagram is included with the pump.

Q: Can I rotate the discharge direction? A: Yes. The discharge ships at the 12:00 position and can be rotated to 3:00 or 9:00 (90-degree increments) by rotating the wet end.

Q: What seal does this pump use? A: The OEM LX seal is SEAL-56WUA (also known as SEAL-48WUA, SEAL-WP-LP, 1-05-0159). It is a Ceramic/Graphite/Viton type. This seal is NOT the same as Gecko Aqua-Flo PS-200 or Sundance Theramax seals — make sure you match the seal to the wet end brand.

Q: What impeller does this pump use? A: IMP-56WUA400 — the 4.0 HP impeller for LX 56-frame WUA pumps. Sundance designation is 6500-612. The impeller fits both the single-speed (56WUA400-I) and dual-speed (56WUA400-II) versions.

Q: How does this compare to the Gecko Aqua-Flo XP2e? A: The 56WUA400-I draws 12.0A at 230V, while the comparable Gecko XP2e (05340009-5040) draws 15.0A. Despite both being marketed as 4.0 HP, the XP2e is actually a more powerful pump. The LX is a cost-effective alternative suitable for spas originally equipped with LX/12A pumps.

Q: Can I use this to replace a 6500-901, 6500-902, or 6500-903? A: Yes, but modifications may be needed. Use the bracketless version 56WUA400-I(NF) with bracket 6000-535. The 6500-901/902/903 were older-style pumps — some plumbing or mounting adjustments may be required for retrofit.

Q: How do I know what frame size my pump is? A: Measure the distance between consecutive (not diagonal) motor through bolts. Approximately 4 inches apart = 56-frame. Approximately 3-1/2 inches apart = 48-frame. The 56WUA400-I is a 56-frame pump only.

Q: What are the port sizes? A: Both suction and discharge are 2″ MBT (Male Buttress Thread), measuring approximately 3″ across the outside of the threads. If your pump threads measure approximately 3-1/2″ across, you have 2-1/2″ plumbing and need a different pump.

Q: Do I need a GFCI breaker? A: Yes, GFCI protection is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for all hot tub and spa installations.

Q: What warranty is included? A: 1-year manufacturer’s limited warranty — repair or replace (no refunds). Warranty does not include shipping costs. Warranty is directly with the manufacturer (Guangdong Lingxiao Pump Industry Co., Ltd.).

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.
