Aqua-Flo by Gecko's original offering in this high performance spa line, the "XP2", offers high performance while utilizing the same space requirements as most other applications. Having a shut-off head of more than traditional48 frame spa pumps, but less than 56 frame pool pumps, these unique pumps have been designed for today's large, heavily jetted spas requiring increased flow.

Fine tuned impeller that moves water through the system with maximum performance
2" suction and discharge
48 and 56 frame versions
Thermally protected to extend life expectancy of motor
Multiple drain locations
This pump is designed for use in spas and hot tubs. It is energy efficient and quiet, making it a good choice for homes with noise restrictions.
The pump is also long-lasting and meets the California Title 20 energy efficiency standards.
Here are some additional details about the specifications:
The horsepower of the pump determines how much water it can move. A 2.0-horsepower pump is sufficient for most spas and hot tubs.
The total head pressure of the pump determines the amount of water it can lift. A 3.0-head pressure pump is sufficient for most spas and hot tubs.
The voltage of the pump must match the voltage of the spa or hot tub.
The speed of the pump determines how fast it can move the water. A 2-speed pump allows you to choose between a high-speed mode for circulation and a low-speed mode for energy efficiency.
The frame size of the pump determines how it will fit into the spa or hot tub. A 48-frame pump is a standard size for most spas and hot tubs.
The inlet/outlet size of the pump determines the size of the pipes that it can connect to. A 2-inch inlet/outlet size is a standard size for most spas and hot tubs.
In 2012, the manufacturer changed the way Aquaflo pumps are rated. These pumps are now assigned both an operational horsepower (ohp), and a total horsepower (thp) rating.
Previous versions of these pumps used only the operational horsepower. If you are replacing an older Aquaflo pump, be sure to match the operational hp rating rather than the total hp.
