  • Nice design and quiet
Fit right into place replacing the previous pump motor. I like the newer version with the upgraded features, especially the timer. Hopefully we get at least 5 years out of it like the previous pump.

  • Excellent upgrade
Easy install, replaced my 10 year old noisy Hayward Eco star pump. Just can't believe how quiet this is!! Definitely recommend

  • Great replacement for old version.
Perfect for replacing an old version of itself. I had the 1.85hp for a decade. It bought this to replace it. Everything lines up the same. directions are easy. There is a by-pass if you already have a wall mounted control system. Works great and the extra power allows me to run the system wide open.

  • Really great pump if you never need support.
It arrived only one day later than promised - not too bad. The clock is ticking as our inground pool sits without a pump in the summer heat. Our old pump has a twist lock cord on it. We bought the Hayward TriStar VSP, because we wanted an exact replacement for our Hayward EcoStar VSP, which amazingly has lasted almost 10 seasons before we got the dreaded Drive Error. Both old and new pumps are 230 Volt 2.7 THP. I didn't realize the new pump would NOT come with a twist lock cord, because I had completely forgotten that the electrician added the power cord to the original pump when we installed the pool. Silly me, I thought perhaps Hayward tech support could tell me if it is possible to switch the old twist lock cord to the new pump. I tried the link that Amazon provides for Hayward support: SORRY, THE PAGE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ISN'T FOUND. Well, that's just precious. I called the Hayward support number. After explaining the situation, and asking if a cord can be installed, I was told that I need to consult with an electrician. He wasn't able to tell me if it was possible or not. I asked if the pump was designed to be left outside through a Wisconsin winter if it is supposed to be hard-wired. He said he didn't think so. I asked if Hayward assumes that only people in warm climates will buy their pump, which is supposed to be hard-wired. He guessed that must be the case. He DID inform me that I should have consulted with Hayward prior to buying the pump. I'm not sure how that would have helped - would they be able to tell me MORE about the pump before I purchased it than after? We did finally get an electrician to switch the old twist lock cord to the new pump. It wasn't difficult, but we didn't want to chance voiding the warranty by not having a qualified electrician do the work. The new pump has been up and running for a full week now. The instructions for setting it up are fairly good and I was able to program the timers. The default setting for priming is 8 minutes at max speed, which is really excessive. I reduced the max speed to 3000 rpms and the time to 3 minutes. The pump seems to think that it needs to prime after each setting is changed, which is really annoying, and turns a 2-minute task into a 15-minute ordeal, because you can't access the menu while it is priming. That is the only negative I've found though. It runs great and is much quieter than our old EcoStar VSP. It can really move the water around. I think we can safely say our filter system doesn't have any leaks, because with this pump's power, I'm sure we'd be seeing them. I'm giving 4 stars overall. I take away 1 star, as I didn't find the support to be very knowledgeable. If you never need Hayward support, then it's 5 stars for the pump. We will see if this one lasts as long as the old one did. ... show more

  • Works Great
This pump is phenomenal, but pricey.

  • Do not buy
I ordered this pump last June. In February of this year it started getting very loud. Seven months of use. The motor bearings were shot. I contacted Hayward and they referred me to a local reseller. I contacted several. No one would service this pump. Upon inspecting the packaging which I had used to store my old motor it turns out what I was sent was a model VS-950 pump and not the W3SP3206VSP which I had ordered. The VS-950 is sold only through brick and mortar stores and must be professionally installed. Hence the reason to refuse service or warranty coverage by the Hayward dealers. It also turns out that the replacement pump motor (which is unique to the VS-950) is only available through the same brick and mortar stores that refused service and warranty on the pump. Fortunately this ticked me off so much that I disassembled the pump and had the motor rebuilt for 150.00. Much less than the cost of the 749.00 replacement motor (if I were able to purchase it) and the ‘professional’ labor to install it. Never again will I buy a Hayward product and I know now of several local pool stores who will not see any more of my business. Do not buy this product. ... show more

  • Brilliant. Easy to install and huge upgrade
It was fairly easy to install; the provided parts and connections made it a breeze. Quiet and powerful, this pump is a huge upgrade for my old single-speed pump. I find the schedules easy to set up and reduced my power consumption. Love it!

  • Huge money saver
I did a direct swap of a single speed Hayward pump. I was able to reuse all old connection and wiring and just installed the new O-rings that were supplied. It is advised that you read the instruction manual until you full understand how to program and operate the unit. Multiple feature are available as well as filter times. Note* there is no way to have multiple speeds in one programing time. So if you want the pump to run a total of 6 hours, 2 at high speed 4 at a lower speed, that would be two different programs. Overall the unit is well built, easy to install, very quiet, and easy to program and operate. ... show more
