Compatibility

Choose this pump using required flow rate, total dynamic head, plumbing layout, and available electrical supply. Its 1.85 THP rating alone does not determine suitability for a particular pool.

The pump supports 115V or 230V electrical service and uses 2-inch × 2½-inch union connections. Verify existing fittings, pipe alignment, and equipment clearances before assuming a direct replacement.

OmniX app connectivity does not automatically establish compatibility with wired automation systems. Confirm the intended control arrangement separately when an existing controller is involved.

Installation and Upgrade Context

Hayward requires installation and servicing by a qualified professional. The installer should verify electrical capacity, grounding, bonding, ventilation, and plumbing requirements.

During commissioning, configure speeds and schedules that maintain adequate flow through connected heaters, sanitizers, and filtration equipment. Review the pump’s performance curve against the system’s resistance, and leave sufficient access for basket cleaning and future service.

What’s Included

Complete TriStar VS 815 pump with motor, drive, strainer assembly, and OmniX module. The optional OmniX Gateway is sold separately.
