LX Pump Co. – WEE5 Spa Circulation Pump with Magnetic Drive

The LX Whirlpool WEE5 is a compact spa circulation pump for filtration and heating circuits, supplied as a replacement pump with a pre-fitted cable. Instead of the through-shaft and mechanical seal of a traditional circulation pump, it uses a magnetic drive between the motor and the hydraulic section.

WEE5 magnetic drive circulation pump

The WEE5 is designed to keep water circulating continuously in spa hydraulic systems. Its magnetic drive design removes the direct mechanical connection between the motor and the hydraulic section.

Traditional circulation pumps use a through-shaft and a mechanical seal. The WEE5 replaces this with a magnetic drive system, which reduces the risk of leaks caused by wear of mechanical components and limits the number of components in contact between the motor section and the hydraulic section.

Technical specifications and dimensions

Key figures for the LX Whirlpool WEE5 hot tub circulation pump:

• Power: 32 W
• Current: 0.25 A
• Maximum flow rate: 22 litres per minute
• Length: 209 mm
• Width: 120 mm
• Height: 131 mm

Compare these dimensions with your existing pump before ordering, so that the new pump fits in the available space.

Plumbing and electrical connection

The pump has 3/4″ barb connections. They connect to 3/4-inch clear pipes using hose clips.

The WEE5 is supplied pre-cabled with an AMP plug on a 150 cm cable.

If your installation is equipped with a mini J&J plug, you must use an adapter from AMP to mini J&J, which is sold separately. Alternatively, you can reuse the cable from your existing pump if it is in good condition.

Choosing the right replacement pump

Look for the model name WEE5 on your current LX Whirlpool circulation pump and compare the connection type, plug and dimensions with those above.

The Laing E5 SilentFlo pump has similar dimensions and flow rate to the WEE5, which can help when you are comparing equivalent circulation pumps for a filtration or heating circuit.
