Finder – 16A Pump Contactor for Spa Pump Connection Boxes

This Finder 16A pump contactor is a replacement spa part found in the connection box of some pumps. It is used especially on pumps fitted with EMG dual-speed motors. If your hot tub pump has stopped responding and the contactor in the connection box is the suspect, this is the part to look at.

Where this pump contactor is used

The 16A contactor sits inside the connection box of certain spa pumps. The source names pumps with EMG dual-speed motors as the main application, so that is the first place to check on your own equipment.

Not every pump has a contactor in its connection box, so open the box and confirm that your pump is built this way before you order.

How to choose the right contactor

A contactor is an electrical component, so the replacement should match the one you are removing. Before ordering, check the following:

• The current rating on the existing contactor: this one is a 16A type.
• The brand and any markings printed on the body of the old contactor.
• That the pump motor is of the type described above, such as an EMG dual-speed motor.

Take a clear photo of the contactor and its markings before you disconnect anything. It will help you compare the old and new parts and refit the wiring correctly.

Fitting notes

Always isolate the spa from the power supply before opening the pump connection box. Note or photograph the position of every wire before removing the old contactor, so the new one can be connected in the same way.

If you are not confident working on electrical components, have the replacement carried out by a qualified electrician.
