 Nu Wave Spa Packs from Spas2Order.com
Spa shells and frames routinely last 30-40 years, but the moving parts behind the access panel door seldom run more than 10 years.
If your spa is broken and your pack is over 8 years old, your surest and most economical solution is to replace the entire spa pack rather than to try to fix the one broken component.
If your spa pack is less than 8 years old, we also carry replacements for major components such as pumps, blowers, heaters, and controllers.
