20 Most Recent Jacuzzi MAGNUM FORCE POOL PUMP 2 HP 115230V 94027120 Questions & Answers

What is the make & model of your spa?

Probably 1.5 HP but if you can read any of the nameplate data on the motor it would be helpful to confirm. A better approach might be to size the new pump to the volume of water in the pool.

If all you are going to replace is the pumps motor then can you provide at least the amp ratings off the motor? Those should help verify what your old unit's horsepower really is.

sounds like it ran dry and burned up the seals between the pump and the motor

There is no lubrication required for the Jacuzzi motor. There is lube required on the o-rings. Silicone based is the best for those.RodUS Parts Center

the o ring usually would not fit if it were the wrong size. What seals is a ceramic seal, did you change that? If run without water, the ceramic seal will be damaged....

Hi, If you haven't already figured out how to change the seals on your Jacuzzi Magnum Force pump, I can help by supplying a diagram.Here is the parts explosion for that pump.Start by removing the case/basket assembly, then the diffuser to get to the impeller. Loosen the impeller to get to the seal plate.When going to the trouble of changing the shaft seals one should change all the hosing seals at the same time because its a lot of work.

Yes, the seal has been leaking and it needs to be replaced; probably the motor bearings too.

Removing the impeller requires you lock the shaft as you turn the impeller off counter-clockwise. To lock the impeller you will have to remove the motor end cover or a cap covering the shaft end depending on which version your particular motor has. Look at the end opposite the pump and imagine a shaft from one end to the other right in the center.

Once you remove the cover you will see a slot for a screwdriver, a flat for a wrench, a hex hole for a hex key or some combination of these. Lock the shaft and spin off the impeller. Some are so tight you will end up breaking them in the process. Simply replace it and the seal. Be sure the motor shaft is in good enough condition to allow the new seal to work properly. If too much shaft material has rotted away the new seal will leak soon after it is installed; you would need a new motor at that point.

There are none; the large diameter plastic ring catches on the motor adapter plate and secures the motor assembly into the pump housing. You may still have the yellow locking tab in the ring as well. If so, one end of it will lift out of a hole; do so. Spin the tab out of the way then use a blunted paint scrapper, chisel or block of wood and a hammer to tap the ring loose in a standard CCW direction. Once the ring spins free you will need to work the pump end loose. They often stick in the housing so rock it back and forth to eventually break it free.

Sounds like a problem with the impeller, take off the lid, take out the pump basket and reach down and feel past the opening in the bottom, should feel a smooth and clean series of plastic blades, it is possible the blades a chewed up or its loaded up with hair.

the pump housing is available through your local pool dealer. It is broken down into 3 sections the pump, housing and Pod.
