Recommendations for Quiet 1-speed HP Pump

[Norwayluta]

Hi,
I have an old Jandy Stealth 2hp pump that seems to be dying. I am looking for recommendations for a single-speed quiet pump for spa jets only. It is close to the neighbor's house so it needs to be pretty quiet. The distance between the pump and the spa is about 50-60 feet. The spa is at the end of the pool and I have another pump for the pool which is fine. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If you want a quiet pump get a 3 HP VS pump and run it at low RPM.

Thanks, but I don't want to spend alot on a pump that's only used for spa jets.

Any 1 HP SS pump will run at 3,000+ rpm and sound like a pump running at 3,000 rpm.

What type of a budget are you looking at?

Pumps aren't super cheap and if you want a super quiet pump, a single-speed might not be the best choice. At least consider a 2-speed pump where you can drop the RPM's down to around 1700.

It turned out to be a clogged impeller, so we don't need to buy a new pump!

Awesome!
