Gecko Aqua-Flo Flo-Master FMCP 3/4 HP 2 Speed 115V Pump 48 Frame

Doesn't fit the original, but does the job

The original Gecko pump had a single speed, 3/4 HP, 115VAC, motor with a small start capacitor on the top. Lead time for a single speed pump was several months, so I bought this 2-speed unit and just wired up the high speed. The motor frame is different so the mounting holes won't match, but I was just drilling into plywood anyway. The big issue is that the start capacitor on the new motor is much larger and at about a 1 o'clock position on the motor, looking from the pump end. This meant that the capacitor hit the hot tub liner and the pump suction piping would not line up. I was able to move the capacitor to the 11 o'clock position (again, from the pump end) and the pump/motor assembly now fits fine. I would not try this if you are not handy.
