🔧 EMG 56-Frame Spa Pump Motor – 2.0 HP Single Speed – Motor Only

Quality replacement motor for 56-frame spa pumps – keep your existing wet-end

♨️ Product Overview

The EMG 56-Frame 2.0 HP Single Speed Motor is a quality replacement motor designed specifically for spa pump repair and refurbishment. This motor-only unit allows you to replace a failed pump motor whilst retaining your existing wet-end, seals, and plumbing connections – saving both cost and installation time compared to replacing the entire pump assembly.

Operating at 230V/50Hz with a 1.5 kW power rating, the motor delivers 2.0 HP at 2,800 RPM, drawing 9.5A. The 13mm shaft diameter and 90mm shaft height from ground are standard 56-frame specifications, ensuring compatibility with most 56-frame wet-ends. The motor uses a 30 µF capacitor for reliable starting.

This motor is commonly used as a replacement in spas from Hot Tubs Direct, Knightswood Leisure, Touch Spas, Catalina, Hydropool, Hotspring, Hotspot, and Southwest Spas. No electrical wiring is included – your existing wiring must be reused from the original motor.
