**PLEASE READ THIS IS IMPORTANT**
When selecting a Balboa Ultimax or Vico Ultimax pump, you must pay careful attention to the wet end. The is the black part on the end of the pump which connects to the plumbing and has the impellor inside.
Balboa have made this pump under various OEM agreements, for the likes of CalSpa amongst others who have then included it in their hot tubs.
Whereas normally with a pump, you can select the voltage, horsepower and frame size, it is a little more difficult with this brand. There are different types of wet end for this model and the discharge (the part that connects to the pipework that flows to your jets) can be in a different position. Normally, you would choose from either side discharge, or center discharge but "helpfully" (not at all!) Balboa has a different offset for the side discharge on this model. THIS IS NOT STANDARD.
If you get this wrong, the part will not fit.
Please take a look at the two different examples below. Both of these are for a 2HP pump but you can see they look totally different. You will also notice that the position of the discharge is roughly 1" different. The one on the left is offset around 2.5" and the one on the right is offset around 1.5".
This is a standard side discharge wet end for the Balboa Vico and Balboa Vico Ultima pumps. Please note the 5 bolt arrangement.
This is a Non-Standard Wet end for the Balboa Vico and Vico Ultima pumps. You can see that the side discharge is much closer to the center, from the center of the inward suction to the centre of the discharge is around 1.5". You can also see that this wet end has 4 bolts to the impeller housing.
If you are looking to replace a pump and you need a non-standard wet end, you will need to buy a new pump AND the wet end that you need. Please note, in some cases you will just need to change the Volute (impeller cover)
The standard model comes already fitted to the pump whereas the non-standard model will need to be purchased separately, and you will need to change this over.
If you are comfortable enough to switch out a pump, changing a wet end over should not be a problem for you.
If you are not sure, please do get in touch.
