The new e5 circulation pump is designed to replace your silentflo® 5000 and silentflo® 5002 with no retrofits to your tub. The sunction/inlet is 1-11/16″ from the floor and the return/discharge is 4-1/4″ off of the floor which is the same as the silentflo® 5000 and silentflo® 5002. The impeller is accessible by unscrewing the top ring off the pump for easy access for cleaning if needed. Installation instructions are included. This pump should not be operated without water present in the spa. If a “dry run” occurs , the pump has an internal safety device that will automatically shut it down.
