Softub Pump Volute Back - Replacement Pump Housing Part #3040

Repair a damaged Softub pump housing with the correct replacement volute back, part #3040.

The Softub Pump Volute Back (SKU 3040) is a replacement pump housing component for compatible Softub pump assemblies.

The volute is the section of a centrifugal pump that surrounds the impeller and directs water toward the pump outlet. The volute back forms part of this housing assembly and provides a mating surface for the corresponding pump components.

If the original volute back is cracked, damaged, or no longer sealing correctly, replacing the affected housing component may help restore the integrity of the pump assembly without replacing an otherwise serviceable pump.

Product Specifications

Compatibility - Important Before Ordering

This replacement volute back is intended for Softub pump assemblies that use part #3040.

Not all Softub pumps share the same housing design. Compatibility can vary depending on the pump model, production year, and internal components.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Your pump assembly requires volute back #3040.

• The housing shape and mounting points match your existing component.

• The impeller and associated components are compatible.

• The applicable gasket or mechanical seal is in suitable condition.

Do not assume this part fits every Softub Hydromate or older Ultima pump.

If you're unsure which housing component you need, contact Splash Pool & Spa with a photo of your pump and its identification label.

Signs Your Pump Volute May Need Replacement

A damaged pump volute can contribute to:

• Water leaking from the pump housing.

• Visible cracks in the housing.

• Difficulty maintaining a proper seal between housing components.

• Damage around mounting points or connection surfaces.

• Reduced pump performance when housing damage affects normal operation.

These symptoms may also be caused by damaged gaskets, mechanical seals, loose fittings, or other pump problems. Proper diagnosis is recommended before ordering replacement parts.

Installation & Maintenance

Replacing a pump volute back requires disassembly of the pump assembly.

For safe servicing:

1. Disconnect the Softub completely from electrical power.

2. Drain or isolate the plumbing according to the manufacturer's service instructions.

3. Remove the affected pump components using the correct service procedure.

4. Inspect the impeller, seals, mating surfaces, and remaining housing components.

5. Install the replacement volute back with the correct seals and fasteners.

6. Reassemble the pump according to the manufacturer's specifications.

7. Check for leaks and normal circulation before returning the spa to service.

Professional installation is recommended. Incorrect pump assembly can result in leaks, equipment damage, or electrical hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete Softub pump?

No. This listing is for the pump volute back only. It is not a complete pump or motor assembly.

What does the volute back do?

It forms part of the pump housing surrounding the impeller and contributes to the assembly's water-flow path and sealing surfaces.

Will part #3040 fit my Softub?

It is intended for compatible pump assemblies requiring part #3040. Confirm the pump model and housing configuration before ordering.

Does this include an impeller or motor?

No. An impeller and motor should not be assumed included with a replacement volute back.

Are gaskets and seals included?

Confirm the package contents before ordering. Gaskets, mechanical seals, and mounting hardware may be separate components.

Can I replace the volute back myself?

Pump disassembly requires correct handling of electrical equipment, seals, and internal components. Professional service is recommended if you're unfamiliar with spa pump repairs.
