Why Horsepower Labels Differ
The Power WOW 7154213-S appears in supplier listings under different horsepower descriptions, including 1.5 HP, 2 HP, and 3 HP.
For replacement selection, use the exact pump number, 230V supply, single-speed operation, electrical requirements, plumbing connections, and required pump performance together. Horsepower alone does not confirm compatibility.
Single-Speed Power WOW vs. Two-Speed Ultimax Pumps
| Pump Model | Operation | Voltage | Listed Amperage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7154213-S — this pump | Single-speed | 230V | 6A |
| 5235208-S | Two-speed | 230V | 8.8/3.0A |
| 5235210-S | Two-speed | 230V | 10.0/3.5A |
| 5235212-S | Two-speed | 230V | 12.0/3.5A |
This chart helps identify the models; it does not establish interchangeability. The 7154213-S does not provide separate low- and high-speed operation.
Plumbing Connections
| Connection | Nominal Size | Approximate Outside Thread Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Suction / inlet | 2 inches | 3 inches |
| Discharge / outlet | 2 inches | 3 inches |
The nominal connection size differs from the outside thread measurement. Check the union threads, sealing surfaces, and connection heights against your existing installation.
Check Before Ordering
| Check | What to Verify |
|---|---|
| Electrical supply | 230V, 60Hz |
| Control compatibility | Single-speed pump output with suitable electrical ratings |
| Existing pump | Part number, amperage, and required hydraulic performance |
| Plumbing | Inlet and outlet sizes, connection heights, and discharge orientation |
| Mounting | Base dimensions, mounting points, and available clearance |
| Power cord | Correct connector, wiring arrangement, and condition |
| Pump unions | Compatible threads, sealing surfaces, and suitable seals |
Compact construction does not guarantee a direct fit. Mounting or plumbing adjustments may be necessary when replacing an older pump.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include the motor?
Yes. The 7154213-S is supplied as a complete motor-and-wet-end assembly.
Does it include a power cord or unions?
No. The power cord and pump unions are sold separately. Existing components may be reused when they are compatible and in suitable condition.
Is this a one-speed or two-speed pump?
This is a single-speed pump. It does not have separate low- and high-speed settings.
Can it replace a two-speed pump?
It should not be treated as a direct replacement where the spa requires both low- and high-speed operation. The equipment arrangement and control requirements must be reviewed first.
Will it replace my 1016029 or 1016176 pump?
Both numbers are documented distributor cross-references for the 7154213-S. Confirm the electrical requirements, plumbing alignment, mounting dimensions, and required performance before ordering.
Is this the same as Artesian 21-0025-81 or Master Spas X320400?
These are documented application references. Check the actual installed pump and installation requirements rather than relying on the spa brand alone.
Can it run on 115V or 120V?
No. This model requires a 230V supply.
Is this a dedicated circulation pump?
This is a single-speed spa jet pump. It should not be selected as a universal replacement for a small dedicated circulation pump.
