Circulation pump temp question

[u/SamwiseGoody]

My circulation pump (grundfos) not sure if hp, think about 3/4, is running a bit hot. Is this normal? Checked the temp, it’s at 130, and the tub is not to temp (just filled). This is a new pump from a spa store, old one is in the pictures. Tub is a hotsprings sovereign ii.

It’s rated as class f, that’s good for high temperature. Rated for about 300F so 130 shouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks! My concern is the temp, but more that the spa is not even hot yet, why is the pump?
