Ideal For

• Upgrading an older single-speed pump to variable speed.

• In-ground pool and spa owners who want lower energy bills and quieter operation.

• Equipment pads with either 115V or 230V service.

Key Features

• Chemical-resistant Viton seal.

• Extra-large, no-rib strainer basket for easy debris removal and longer time between cleanings.

• ENERGY STAR, NSF and ETL certified.

Benefits

• Hayward rates TriStar pumps at up to 90% energy savings compared with traditional single-speed pumps. Actual savings depend on your run schedule, plumbing and electricity rates.

• Lower speeds run more quietly for everyday filtration.

• Dual-voltage design fits more existing electrical setups.

Compatibility

For in-ground pools and spas on 115V or 230V single-phase service. Confirm your plumbing, filter capacity and required flow before ordering; matching horsepower alone does not guarantee a direct swap.

Installation or Upgrade Context

A qualified pool professional should install the pump, verify wiring, circuit protection, grounding and bonding, and set the speed program. Run speeds high enough to keep minimum flow for heaters, salt chlorinators and other connected equipment. Lower speeds may need longer filtration run times.

Automation controls, communication cable and installation materials are sold separately.
