Active Aqua AAPWIMP400 400 GPH Pump Replacement Impeller, Black

This pump impeller was a perfect fit to replace the broken one in my Coleman SaluSpa. It was easy to replace (20 minutes) following the guidance from utube videos already online. It runs super quiet in my hot tub. I barely hear the motor running. The only issue was the delivery time (5 weeks) most likely due to the shipping delays from China. I figured it was sitting in some boat off the coast of California. Overall, it is an excellent value. I wish Bestway or Coleman would offer this replacement part. Don't waste your money buying a whole new control unit (about $250). All you need are Philips screwdrivers (I suggest an extra long magnetized one for removing and reinstalling the pump mounting brackets) and placing a bowl inder the pump when you disassemble the pump's 6 nuts and bolts to keep them from falling inside the unit. They are tiny and hard to control with fat fingers. HIghly recommended!!

I purchased this because the reviews stated that it will work with my Intex pump with some slight modifications. I made all the mods as suggested and it did not work. The pump would not turn on and I would get the E90 error. I made sure the impeller spun freely and was not binding or anything.After taking it apart again I compared it to the original impeller and I noticed that the impeller unit itself is about an 1/8" longer than the original. Not sure if this made any difference since I made sure it moved freely. But the original could move up and down the shaft slightly where the this new one did not.I also noticed that the magnet in this impeller is not as hard to turn by hand as the original. I was not sure how this mattered at first but then I read a post from someone else (in another comments section) that stated that the only way this impeller worked for them is to remove the two filters and run without. They ended up covering the inlets with ordinary plastic window screen and screwing the filter housings on empty to hold the screen in place. Then I realized the weaker magnet meant it does not have as much power to pull the water through the filters. I have not tested this theory but I plan to.The last thing I noticed is that the ceramic shaft is smaller than the original. The original shaft is .125" and this shaft is .117". People (including myself) have been able to replace the original shaft with other non-magnetic materials like brass, stainless steel, tungsten because it was a common size. I have a feeling that this less common size may make it difficult to find other materials to use.I cannot knock off stars because it did not fit an application it was not made for. The product itself looks decent enough.

Works great! no problem installing it in my water pump for my hot tub.

this impeller works in the INTEC pure spa with the old pump 403M which you will be lucky to find you must cut the ceramic shaft a shade under 3" and if using the rubber bushings supplied cut the raised end off flush or do as I did reuse the old ones and it works fine. I think it pushes more water and heats up quicker only my opinion. But my spa is working and is quiet.

Based on the reviews whereby the reviews said that this will work for Intex hot tub this is false. Once we replaced the impeller it literally worked for like a few minutes before the code E90 would come on & there’s no water flow coming out. I was hoping that this would be a good fix since the Intex hot tub is such a poor made item & you’re going to be constantly changing the impeller without any products from Intex you’re kind of stuck looking around for something that will work & disappointingly this doesn’t work.

did not fit my spa. coleman spas and intex inflateable spas have the same thing in common after a year the shaft for the impeller wear out. bought this thinking it would replace my worn out parts. i think these spas are the same cause ive had 3 in the last 5 years 2 intex 1 coleman . thoughtcoleman might be better but same problem. now i cant just buy the pump cause they are out of stock. so im buying another spa cause ofmedical needs. if you buy either one of these spas it will fail within 2 years.

I purchased this because another buyer stated it would work with the 403M pump that is in the Intex PureSpa Bubble jet hot tub. It is a much smaller diameter and will NOT work (Pictured is my old impeller next to the new one). If anyone finds the correct size impeller to fit the 403M pump, PLEASE let me know.Otherwise this looks like a quality made item.

This impeller fits the 403m pump, but the shaft is too long. The shaft will need to be cut down to 2-7/8" length. As one of the other reviewers had stated, you can break the ceramic shaft buy using pliers just above the break point. the pliers need to be on the short end (removal piece). grasp it firmly and it will crack with some pressure. I am attaching a picture showing what i used. My pump is running super quiet now. I hope this helps others with the same problem. just a note, my pump sounded like there was sand or something in it for a long time. i did not use the rubber bushings, i reused the ones that were still in it. there is a washer on there so pay attention when you take it apart. i put my washer on the impeller end, hope thats the right side :).
