Quest for a New Pump Lid (Jacuzzi Pool Pump)

[SparkleSparkle]

Hey TFP'ers. Long time lurker first time poster!

Bought a house a couple years back and it has a Jacuzzi JVX160 1.5HP main pool pump. Noticed yesterday it wasn't maintaining prime and on further inspection there is a small crack in the skimmer lid. Leslies (who installed it as their house brand just a few years ago under prior homeowners) didn't have any in stock and told me to check online. Looking around NOBODY has the lid. I found one outfit in Sacramento but it looks pretty small-time so even after ordering I don't hold much hope. It's the weekend so I doubt anything will happen with them until Monday.

I can't find anything online that even looks close to fitting and I'm starting to think this cracked lid will cost me an entire new pump. Anyone have any suggestions for finding a replacement?

Welcome to the forum.
Jacuzzi does not manufacture the pump. It is rebadged. Let's see if @JamesW or @1poolman1 might know what the primary manufacturer is.

Yes, I read it's an Australian manufacturer. Still I'm shocked at the lack of spare parts availability. What I've read on here Jacuzzis are Leslie's store brand so you'd think they would support them a lot better. I've even gone so far as to email a few friends in Australia to see if they can source the top.

Contact Leslie's and Jacuzzi to see what they say.

I think Carvin is the manufacturer.

Changes in ownership

By 1979,[7] there were 257 Jacuzzi family members involved in the Jacuzzi brand and there was a growing number of disputes among them.[18]

Then the business was acquired by Kidde for $70 million.[7]

Most of the Jacuzzi family members left the company, except Roy Jacuzzi, who stayed on as the head of the hot tub and bath division.[19]

In 1987, Kidde was acquired by Hanson PLC.[20]

In 1995 Hanson spun off Jacuzzi and other brands into a public company called U.S. Industries.[16]

USI renamed itself Jacuzzi Brands in 2003.[21]

This was in turn bought out by Apollo Management,[2] and then by Investindustrial in 2019.[22]

Acquisitions since the 1990s have included Haugh Products[18] (above-ground pools), Sundance Spas,[18] Gatsby Spas,[18] Zurn Industries (toilets, sinks), Hydropool (hot tubs), Liners Direct (bath products), BathWraps (shower and bathtub renovation).[23]

In the 1990s, Jacuzzi had taken on too much debt and sold more than $600 million worth of businesses.[16]

The business segment producing industrial, irrigation, well water, submersible, and centrifugal systems was sold to Franklin Electric in 2004.

The plumbing division, Zurn Industries, was sold in 2007 for $950 million.[24]

Current brands include ThermoSpas, Sundance Spas, and Dimension One.

That's the lid but it shows out of stock. Going in my nearest store was no help to me either.
