Why this kit stands out
- 120V variable-speed performance — An 8.5 amp motor gives you adjustable flow for everything from a gentle, soothing massage to a robust jet experience. The variable-speed design not only enhances comfort but also promotes energy-efficient operation that can lower running costs over time.
- Flexible control options — Choose how you want to operate it: a wireless waterproof floating remote with hi/med/lo speeds and a 30-minute timer, or the built-in white push air button to configure or run the pump. Prefer your original setup? You can still use your existing keypad.
- Plug-and-play installation — The compact control box (VSPC) is engineered to sit neatly beneath most tub configurations, often eliminating the need for plumbing modifications. A clean, discreet upgrade that minimizes downtime.
- Rugged compatibility — Built to replace older brush-motor pumps, including ITT MARLOW models, this kit delivers improved performance and reliability over the legacy setup, reducing maintenance and unexpected outages.
- Two-way operation — Operate speeds via the remote, or keep the original keypad in place for a familiar control surface. The air button provides a dedicated alternative control method, giving you options that fit your preferences.
- Everything you need, included — The kit comes complete with a free union for easy plumbing connections and batteries included for the remote, so you can get up and running quickly without hunting for extras.

Installation & compatibility
This modern replacement is designed for straightforward upgrade and compatibility with most standard tub setups. The compact control box is engineered to sit discreetly beneath the tub, so you can often complete the upgrade with minimal disruption. In many cases, no plumbing modifications are required, helping you return to relaxation faster.
Practical installation notes to ensure a solid setup:
- Base stability — The old pump base may not fit the new unit. Provide a stable foundation for the replacement to prevent vibrations.
- Electrical safety — Use a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit in wet environments to safeguard operation.
- Voltage alignment — This system is strictly 120V. If your current configuration runs on 240V, a voltage conversion is required to use this kit as a replacement.
