Product Overview

Upgrade your pool equipment with powerful variable-speed performance and integrated smart control using the Hayward TriStar VS 950 Omni Variable Speed Pump | HL32950VSP.

Designed for residential in-ground pools and spas, the TriStar VS 950 Omni combines Hayward's high-performance 2.7 Total HP variable-speed pump with Omni smart pool and spa control. This allows homeowners to manage pump speeds, schedules, water temperature, lighting, sanitization, water features, and other compatible equipment from a smartphone or tablet.

With an operating range of 600 to 3450 RPM, the HL32950VSP allows the pump speed to be matched to the exact needs of the pool. Lower speeds can be used for everyday filtration and circulation, while higher speeds can be programmed for spa jets, cleaners, water features, heating, or other high-flow applications.

The TriStar VS 950 Omni is an excellent upgrade for older single-speed pool pumps and can provide substantial energy savings while delivering quieter operation, better scheduling, and greater control over the entire pool equipment system.

Product Specifications

Smart Pool & Spa Control

The biggest advantage of the HL32950VSP over a standard standalone variable-speed pump is the included Omni smart-control capability.

From a compatible smartphone or tablet, homeowners can conveniently manage important pool functions such as:

• Pump speed and schedules
• Pool and spa temperature
• Heaters
• Pool and spa lighting
• Sanitization equipment
• Water features
• Auxiliary equipment

This makes the TriStar VS 950 Omni an excellent option for homeowners who want to upgrade both their circulation pump and pool automation at the same time.

Energy-Efficient Variable Speed Operation

Traditional single-speed pumps operate at maximum speed whenever they are running. The TriStar VS 950 allows the motor to operate at lower speeds when full flow is unnecessary.

Running at reduced speeds can significantly lower electrical consumption while also reducing hydraulic noise and unnecessary stress on pool equipment.

Hayward states that TriStar variable-speed pumps can provide up to 90% energy savings compared with traditional single-speed pumps, depending on the pool, operating schedule, utility rates, and programmed speeds.

Ideal For

The Hayward HL32950VSP is an excellent choice for:

• In-ground swimming pools
• Pool and spa combinations
• High-flow pool systems
• Water features
• Pool heaters
• Automatic cleaners
• Older single-speed pump upgrades
• Homeowners wanting smartphone pool control
• Pool renovations
• New pool equipment installations

Large Strainer Basket

The TriStar platform incorporates an extra-large, no-rib debris basket designed to capture leaves and debris while extending the time between basket cleanings.

The large transparent pump lid also allows homeowners and service technicians to quickly inspect the basket without opening the pump.
