Need a new pump
« on: January 19, 2012, 10:22:08 pm »
Hello everyone. I am going to need a new pump soon for my QCA spa. I am wondering where the cheapest place to get one from. I am looking for a 3hp 240v with 2"intake/output

It's interesting how seldom people ask, "where can I get the BEST pump," or "where can I get a pump which will last the longest, and use the lowest amount of energy."

Nope.

Just - "cheapest."

Best of luck.

No kidding. I had a gentleman call me yesterday complaining that our spa covers were $20 more than a lot of what he found on the net. He was appalled that we would be charging so much more. Even after thoroughly explaining the technical differences between our covers and some of the others he was considering, and why this gave our covers an average lifespan of 5 to 7 year, compared to the 2 years he was getting out of his previous covers, he was emphatic he would not buy our cover unless we matched the price of the lower quality covers.
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

I hear ya Doc I'll get that at the store. Consumers have changed there thinking, it used to be quality over price, but I think from the big box stores changed the way consumers buy. I can get it cheaper no matter were its made and the quality.

I don't think the OP's message precluded quality.  But I don't know the pump market.

What are your opinions on Waterway Exclusive pumps?
