Welcome to Backyardplus! In this post, we show you how to assemble the Starite Max-e-glass one horsepower single speed jet pump that was used in 1980-1993 Hot Spring spas.

Step 1. Install the rubber pad on the pump mounting bracket.
Step 2. Place the jet pump on the pump mounting bracket. Put the washers on the two long bolts and attach the pump to the pump mounting bracket with the bolts.
Step 3. Cover the rubber part of the shaft seal with grease and push it into the seal plate with the ceramic side facing outward.
Step 4. Attach the seal plate to the pump with the four bolts, using your 9/16” wrench.
Step 5. Install the second part of the shaft seal. The side with the rubber O-ring will face the impeller. The side with the graphite surface will face away from the impeller and butt up against the white ceramic surface.
Step 6. Remove the back cover with your ¼” nut driver.
Step 7. Install the impeller. Hold the shaft in place with pliers or a screwdriver while you hand tighten the impeller.
Step 8. Install the diffuser with your 8mm driver using the five diffuser screws and washers.
Step 9. Cover the diffuser O-ring with silicone grease and install it on the diffuser.
Step 10. Re-install the back cover with your ¼” driver.
