Gecko - Maelstrom MS-1 2.2 kW Single-Speed Hot Tub Pump - PPS-10699

Gecko – Maelstrom MS-1 2.2 kW Single-Speed Hot Tub Pump

The Gecko Maelstrom MS-1 is a 2.2 kW (3 HP) single-speed hot tub massage pump, suitable as a replacement spa pump with 2-inch connections. It is the first Gecko pump fitted with the brand’s new custom-made motor, which offers good resistance to water infiltration. Its dimensions are close to those of the XP2e, which is slightly more powerful.

Maelstrom MS-1 technical specifications

The Maelstrom MS-1 spa pump is specified as follows:

• Power: 2.2 kW, or 3 HP
• Current: 10.3 A
• Speed: 2900 rpm
• Maximum flow rate: 700 litres per minute

Gecko initially listed the Maelstrom as 3HP and later also as 2.5HP. It is the same model, so you may see either rating when comparing replacement pumps.

Wet end orientation and plug types

The Gecko Maelstrom pump is delivered pre-cabled with an AMP plug on a 240 cm cable. If your installation uses a mini J&J plug, you can use an adapter from AMP to mini J&J (sold separately), or reuse the cable from your existing pump if it is in good condition.

The pump is available in the following configurations:

• Wet end orientation: standard exit, exit to left or exit to right
• Plug types: AMP plug, J&J plug or in.link plug

Dimensions and pipe connections

The pump measures:

• Length: 382 mm
• Width: 202 mm
• Height: 219 mm

The pipe connections are a male thread (2-inch MBT) with a 78 mm outside diameter. The pump is supplied with pump unions for 2-inch pipes. You can also choose pump unions for 1.5-inch pipes or 63 mm pipes.

Replacing another pump with the Maelstrom MS-1

The Maelstrom has the same motor power and thread size as the Waterway Executive 2.5HP, and it is more compact. If you want to replace your pump with another model, check the available space and the fixing distances beforehand, as pipe connection adjustments may be necessary.
