Product Overview

The Hayward Super Pump VS (model W3SP2603VSP) is a high-efficiency, dual-voltage variable speed pump rated at 1.65 HP and built for 230 V single-phase operation. Engineered as a drop-in upgrade from single-speed models, it features a permanent-magnet TEFC motor, a programmable digital interface, and advanced hydraulics—all designed to deliver up to ~80% energy savings compared to legacy units.

Ideal For

Homeowners upgrading from single-speed pumps who want maximum energy savings and quieter operation.

In-ground pools with standard plumbing (e.g., 1½″ or 2″) where 1.65 HP is a suitable horsepower for circulation and filtration.

Installations that already have 230 V wiring and are seeking a retrofit solution without major re-plumbing.

Pool systems where automation compatibility, programmable speeds and long-term efficiency are priorities.

Key Features

1.65 HP, 230 V Variable Speed Motor – dual-voltage flexibility for retrofit upgrades.

Programmable Digital Interface – set multiple speeds for filtering, cleaning, heating, and jets.

Energy-Efficient Operation – designed to offer significant energy savings (up to ~80%) when correctly used.

Quiet TEFC Motor Design – runs cooler and quieter than traditional single-speed pumps.

Large Strainer Basket – reduces maintenance and handles heavy debris loads.

Retrofit-Friendly Plumbing Fit-Up – designed to drop in where older Super Pump or similar models were used.

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: Can this pump be used on either 115 V or 230 V?
A: This specific model is configured for 230 V single-phase; if you have 115 V supply you’ll want the 115 V version.

Q: How much energy will I really save?
A: When properly programmed and matched to your pool plumbing and usage, owners regularly report major reductions in pump energy cost compared to older single-speed pumps.

Q: Does this integrate with pool automation systems?
A: Yes. It supports standalone programming and is compatible with automation systems for full control of speed cycles, timers, and flow modes.

Q: Will this fit in place of my current pump easily?
A: In most cases yes, especially if you have standard shaft-mount / base-mount plumbing and unions. Always verify your current plumbing size and motor footprint before purchase.

Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Routine tasks include cleaning the strainer basket, checking for proper priming and ensuring flow is unobstructed. Variable-speed pumps also benefit from proper speed programming to match pool usage.
