This replacement is configured for select whirlpool bathtubs originally equipped with the NR3-C Gemini Plus II pump, including box part number 0009F88C and bulk part number 0009F00C. Verify the complete model and part number on your original pump label before ordering.
NR3-C 0009F88C Gemini Plus II Whirlpool Pump Replacement
Replace a discontinued NR3-C Gemini Plus II 1 HP whirlpool bathtub pump with a 120-volt replacement designed to restore strong, dependable water circulation. The original NR3-C was a cord-connected pump without a built-in air switch and was controlled through a separate bathtub control, relay or switched receptacle.
The replacement provides a standardized 8.5-amp replacement configuration for compatible NR3-C installations. It retains the cord-connected, externally controlled arrangement of the original pump while providing the performance needed to operate the bathtub’s whirlpool jets.
The original NR3-C does not have a built-in pneumatic air switch. This replacement is intended for an installation where power is controlled by a separate relay, control box or switched receptacle. Do not order solely by appearance or horsepower.
Original NR3-C Pump Identification
| Original model | NR3-C |
|---|---|
| Original box part number | 0009F88C |
| Original bulk part number | 0009F00C |
| Original horsepower | 1 HP |
| Voltage | 120V AC |
| Frequency | 50/60 Hz |
| Built-in air switch | No |
| Electrical cord/plug | Yes |
| Original amperage | Verify the original motor label |

The replacement Pump is rated at 8.5 amps. Confirm that the bathtub’s circuit, receptacle, wiring and control components are properly rated for the replacement pump before installation. Do not assume compatibility based only on the 120-volt rating.
Designed for Externally Controlled Installations
The original NR3-C did not contain an internal pneumatic air switch. Its power cord typically connected to a separate control box, relay or switched receptacle that turned the pump on and off. The NR4-C replacement preserves this basic control arrangement.
If your original pump has a small pneumatic air tube attached directly to it, you may have the air-switch-equipped NR3A-C configuration instead. Contact Whirly Bros before ordering if the model label is missing or difficult to read.
