🔧 LX Lingxiao 56WUA 4.0 HP Spa Pump (56WUA400-II 2.5×2) — Dual-Speed 230V 56 Frame Jet Pump with 2-1/2″ Suction & 2″ Discharge

Versatile Mixed-Port Configuration for Aqua-Flo XP2e Replacements — Powerful 2-Speed Performance with Larger Intake for Maximum Water Flow

♨️ Product Overview

The LX 56WUA400-II(2.5×2) is a 4.0 HP dual-speed jet pump built on the larger 56-frame thru-bolt motor platform by Guangdong Lingxiao Pump Industry Co., Ltd. (LX). What makes this pump unique within the 56WUA400 family is its mixed-port wet end configuration: a larger 2-1/2″ Male Buttress Thread (MBT) center suction intake paired with a standard 2″ MBT side discharge. This specific port combination is designed to directly replace Aqua-Flo Flo-Master XP2e pumps that use the 2-1/2″ suction / 2″ discharge layout.

Operating exclusively on 230V/60Hz, this dual-speed pump draws 12.0 amps on high speed (3450 RPM) and 4.4 amps on low speed (1725 RPM), providing powerful jet performance on high speed and energy-efficient filtration/circulation on low speed. The larger 2-1/2″ suction port (approximately 3-11/16″ across threads) delivers increased water intake volume compared to the standard 2″ port, while the 2″ side discharge (approximately 3-1/16″ across threads) connects to standard 2″ plumbing.

This pump ships with a built-in mounting base and feet for direct floor or spa base mounting — no bracket required. The volute can be rotated in 90-degree increments to match any existing plumbing configuration. Two pump unions with O-rings are included. The motor features pure copper windings, thermal overload protection, anti-creep bearings, and a Viton/Silicon Carbide/Graphite mechanical seal.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes this pump different from the standard 56WUA400-II? A: The key difference is the suction port size. This 56WUA400-II(2.5×2) has a larger 2-1/2″ suction intake (approximately 3-11/16″ across threads) paired with a standard 2″ side discharge (approximately 3-1/16″ across threads). The standard 56WUA400-II has 2″ ports on both suction and discharge. All other specifications — motor power, amperage, frame size, speed settings — are identical. Choose based on your spa’s plumbing sizes.

Q: What horsepower is this pump? A: LX rates this pump at 4.0 HP (brake-torque-horsepower). Equivalent Aqua-Flo XP2e pumps may carry different HP ratings using different measurement methods. The amperage draw (12.0A high / 4.4A low at 230V) is the most accurate comparison. When selecting a replacement, always match amperage rather than stated horsepower.

Q: What pump does this replace? A: This pump is specifically designed to replace the Aqua-Flo Flo-Master XP2e 4.0 HP, 230V, 2-speed, 56-frame pump with 2-1/2″ suction and 2″ discharge (part 05334024-5040). It also replaces other pumps with the same mixed-port configuration, same voltage, and same amperage draw.

Q: How do I know if my pump has 2-1/2″ or 2″ suction? A: Measure across the outside of the pump threads (edge to edge) on the suction (intake) port. A 2″ port measures approximately 3″ to 3-1/16″ across threads. A 2-1/2″ port measures approximately 3-5/8″ to 3-11/16″ across threads. The difference is clearly visible — the 2-1/2″ port is about 5/8″ larger in diameter.

Q: Can I use this pump if both my ports are 2″? A: No. If your spa has 2″ × 2″ plumbing on both ports, order the standard 56WUA400-II (with feet) or 56WUA400-II(NF) (bracketless) instead. The 2-1/2″ suction on this pump will not connect to 2″ plumbing without an adapter.

Q: Can I use this pump if both my ports are 2-1/2″? A: No. If your spa has 2-1/2″ plumbing on both suction and discharge, order the 56WUA400A-II instead, which has 2-1/2″ ports on both sides.

Q: Can I use an adapter to reduce the 2-1/2″ suction to 2″? A: While adapters exist (such as 400-5990 with 2.5″ nut to 2″ slip tailpiece), reducing the suction port size restricts water flow and reduces pump performance. If your spa has 2″ × 2″ plumbing, it is better to order the standard 56WUA400-II with native 2″ × 2″ ports.

Q: Does this pump include mounting feet or do I need a bracket? A: This pump includes a built-in mounting base with feet for direct floor or spa base mounting. No bracket is needed. If your spa uses a bracket mounting system (no floor mount), see the 56WUA400-II(NF) bracketless version (note: NF version has 2″ × 2″ ports).

Q: Is this a 115V or 230V pump? A: This pump operates exclusively on 230V / 60Hz. It is NOT convertible to 115V.

Q: Can this pump be wired for single-speed operation? A: Yes. This 2-speed pump can also be wired for single-speed (high speed only) operation if needed. Follow the wiring diagram on the motor label.

Q: Does a power cord come with this pump? A: No — the power cord is sold separately. Reuse your existing pump cord if compatible, or purchase a replacement. For 2-speed AMP-style cord, see 30-1001C or 16-2036 (72-inch, 4-wire). For molded/lit cord, see 30-0220-48-K.

Q: Does this include pump unions? A: Yes — two pump unions with O-rings are included. The suction union fits 2-1/2″ plumbing and the discharge union fits 2″ plumbing.

Q: Can I rotate the discharge direction? A: Yes. The volute can be rotated in 90-degree increments (12, 3, 6, or 9 o’clock positions). The pump ships with discharge in the 12 o’clock (top) position.

Q: Will this pump fit in place of a Waterway Executive pump? A: It may work as a replacement for Waterway Executive 56-frame 4HP 230V pumps, but verify port sizes carefully. Some Waterway Executive models have different thread positions, and plumbing modifications may be needed, especially with rigid (non-flex) plumbing. Flex plumbing typically accommodates minor positional differences.

Q: What warranty is included? A: This pump includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty (repair or replace — does not include shipping costs). The motor serial number label (located on the exterior of the motor housing) is required for all warranty claims.

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.

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. If you're unsure about any aspect of this process, get in touch, always happy to help.
