Can this pump replace my Hayward SP3200VSP TriStar VS Variable Speed Pump?

Is this a good replacement for my Sta Rite Max E Glass II? It is 1.5 HP. We have a sheer decent feature and a sweeper, creepy crawly, I believe. how does it compare to Hayward Ecostar or Pentair intelliclean? Is 1.65 HP large enough to be energy efficient at lower speed for us?
Hi. Unfortunately, without knowing the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool, we're unable to confirm if this pump will work. You can use our How To Measure Total Dynamic Head With Gauges or How Do I Calculate Feet of Head for My Pool? guides.

Is this pump compatible with my AquaLogic automation & chlorination system, that is currently being used to control a single speed Hayward NorthStar 2hp pump; 18000 gallon pool, with a waterfall and 2 1/2" piping

The PureLine PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 HP out of the box would not be compatible with your Hayward Aqualogic system. Purchasing the V-Green Automation Adapter Kit - 2517501-001 will allow you to adapt this pump and pair it with your Hayward Aqualogic system.

We have a 20' x 40'x 5' avg depth inground pool (30,000 gal) with 2 jets and a swimout with 2 more jets. Currently there's a hayward 3/4hp single speed pump and I would like to replace it with a variable speed, pump. first question: 1. Are there dc variable pumps available? If not, what do you suggest for best performance and best power efficiency? (current pump costs $200/month to run) looking to reduce that!
Reply
Our pumps will run off of AC and if you just replace the motor, depending on the model Hayward pump that you have, you may be able to use the motor model ECM16CU or the ECM16SQU. As far as complete variable speed pumps that we currently have in stock that match your total HP requirements you can consider the model 342001 or maybe the model PL2606.

I am looking for a pentair pool pump 340038 replacement. It's on its last leg and using alot of power. I have a 9000 gallon pool with two small waterfalls. What would be a good replacement variable pool pump?
Yes, the PureLine Prime 1.65 HP VS is the best replacement for a Pentair Super Flo 1 HP. There will be some slight replumbing needed but flowrates are in-line with your current set up.

Ok so the motor in the variable speed pump is not induction type but is permanent magnet. I just want to be sure before I buy. So TEFC is same as permanent magnet? Thanks

My Ecostar Hayward SP3200VSP will not start, just makes a clicking noise and gives pump error. I've had this 2HP pump since Oct 2012 and has given me no problems but it has probably reached EOL at almost 7 yrs. Due to so many not so good reviews of a Hayward replacement, I'm considering a change to Pureline as recommended by INYOPools since it seems to be a good choice. Any comments appreciated . . .tks

I have a failing Pentair MPRA6G-155L, which is a 2-HP pump. It runs my pool and doodads pretty forcefully. I would like to get a variable-speed pump, but it seems like the only options are 3-HP, which is clearly overkill, and below 2-HP. I can't find info on the flow rate of the Pentair. Do you know whether your pump would be a good replacement?

Hi,
I have a Century Centurion e-plus Pool Duty 20 year old pool pump (see attached) that I need to replace, we've resolved to have to replum a new one in it's place so are thinking to go to a variable speed with possibly converting to salt since we have to re-do the piping. will this pump work?

Hi, Tina. Unfortunately, we will need the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of your pool or the model of the pump strainer in order to determine which variable speed pump will work.

I have no idea how to calculate it, there's currently copper piping that we think we're going to have to replace. so even if I could calculate tdh, it would change as I'm replacing the piping with PVC

I am not quite clear on how to program the start time for the daily cycle. I would like to have the cycle start at midnight every day. Does that mean that I need to enter the settings for each step for the initial programming then hit the start button at midnight?

Hi. You will need an external timer like the T104P3 to turn the pump On and Off at the scheduled time. Once you've programmed the external timer, you can then program the speeds using the instructions in our How To Program A PureLine Prime Model PL2605.

I am looking at either the PL2516 or the PL2605 to replace my aging Pentair 1.65 SFHP Whisperflow pump. I have an 18,000 gallon pool an FNS plus 60 DE filter. As near as I have calculated I have 36.5 feet TDH. 2 inch piping. Which pump would more closely match my Pentair pump performance.
Thank you!
Reply
Hi Paul, The PL2605 PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pump will most closely match your Pentair 1.65 SFHP Whisperflow pump. We would suggest the PL2605 for your application. I think you will really like the variable speed controller and you will save a ton on your operational costs. The PL2605 has 2" ports so it will have no problem with your 2" plumbing. The plumbing ports on the Prime and Whisperflo are not in the exact same location so you will have a little bit of re-plumbing but it should be nothing major.

Hi I have a 30,000 gallon AGP. I am using a dual speed 1HP pump and a 19 inch sand filter with 1.25 inch plumbing. I am going to upgrade to 2 inch plumbing and a Hayward 27 inch sand filter. Will the 1HP pump be sufficient or do you recommend I buy another pump?
Reply
Hi Ronny, If you will be upgrading to 2" plumbing and 27" sand filter then this pump would be perfect for your set up. You will need to have 230V service for this pump.

Looking at the PL2605 as a replacement for my Hayward SP2607X10 with 1.0 hp Super Pump (Century model C48K2N143B1). I have a 32,000 gallon inground pool with 3 returns, 2 skimmers and a main drain. The piping is 1.5 inch. From most of the advice I've seen online, it seems like my current pump/piping may be undersized - but it was installed 18 years ago, and it's always performed well. I run the pump 24/7 during the swim season.
Is the PL2605 suitable for this?
Reply
Hi Jeff, Yes the PL2605 PureLine Prime would be a great replacement for your 1 HP Hayward Super Pump. You will have the ability to dial the pump up to 1.65 HP if you ever need to, however, the beauty of a variable speed pump is you can really dial down the HP for your general pool filtration and you will save a ton your operational cost, up to 80%! The PL2605 will be a drop in replacement for your Super Pump with the exception of the plumbing ports the Prime has 2" Ports where the Super Pump has 1.5" ports however standard 2" Male x 1.5" Slip adapters will allow you to adapt easily without any issue.
Reply
I have a 27,500 gallon pool, 50' of head, 1.5" pipe and use chlorine.I want to switch to a variable speed pump. I have included a picture of the motor specs. Is this pump a good replacement?
Yes this would be a great Variable Speed Replacement Pump for the motor you have listed in the photo. The ports on this pump are 2" but you can use a standard reducer bushing to go from 1.5" to 2". You may have a little bit of re-plumbing but nothing major. By switching over to a variable speed pump you should see a huge savings on your operational costs.

How does the freeze option work? It says " must have start pushed" but unless I am missing something wont the pump already be running if start is pushed? I thought Freeze was for when the pump was shut off and the temp dropped?
Reply
Hi, Mark. Since the ECM165 motor does not have the ability to turn itself On or Off, it has to be running. When using the V-Green 270 User Interface - 2520652-001 it will allow the motor to turn on when off enabling the Freeze Protection.

Want replace existing pump and chlorinator with variable or dual speed pump and Frog mineral system. Pool is 22000 gal and pump is about 20’ from pool. 2” lines. Replaced filter within last 2 years. Pool and pump original from 2002, motor gets replaced every couple of years. Suggestions?
Hi Mike, We would suggest the PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pump for your set up as it would work great. The decision you need to make is if you want to go with the 1.65 THP PL2605 or the 2.7 THP PL2606. Your current pump has a THP of 2.2 which is quite a bit higher than what is needed for a 22,000-gallon pool. With this being said I would suggest the PL2605 PureLine Prime 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pump. Here is a link to the various Frog Systems that would work for your pool.

Instead of hardwiring the pump PL 2605, can't I use the wire harness from my old Hayward pump and connect it to the PL 2605 in order to plug it into my outside receptacle

Reply
Hi John, yes this would be the proper replacement for your Hayward Super Pump 1.5 HP no parts would need to be changed for salt. The PureLine Prime comes with a Viton Shaft Seal which is considered a Salt Friendly shaft seal.

Would this be a good replacement for a Pentair VS-3050? I never ran that pump over 3,000 RPM. Also my existing setup is on a timer and the power cycles with it. Will this pump work with this type of timer setup?

Based on the total horsepower of the current model pump that you have the better option would be the model PL2606. If you are using a standard timer that allows or cuts of the circuit feeding power to the pump then yes you can still use that timer on this replacement pump.

Hi, I chatted with y'all friday, but forgot to mention a fews things. I have an old Sta rite Glas II pump running by an A.O. smith 1 hp motor (this old slightly refurbishe motor replaced a 3/4 hp motor - impeller was changed to accommodate flow ratios. Anyway, I have a vinyl in ground ~10,000 gal pool, it has side suction and a skimmer, I also had solar panels installed for thermal solar heating of water on a flat roof area near pool. Would this pump still work well?

Reply
Hi, Andy. Using the info provided, this pump will not be a suitable replacement. The pump you have is a high head pump and this is a medium head pump. The performance scale is different. The Hayward TriStar VS Pump - SP3202VSP will be a better option.

I notice on this pump the top RPM is 3450..I think my current motor is a single speed which is 3450 RPM.. will the variable have a problem with the flow rate that the heat pump needs to operate? I noticed that once the PSI got up to about 23PSI (which I assume lowered the flow rate) the heat pump had a issue with flow..not enough. I'm guessing with anything less than 3450 RPM the heat pump won't work..any thoughts?
Reply
Hi, Dan. Operating this pump at a lower RPM can provide insufficient water flow to the heater. You will have to make sure that the motor is operating at the proper RPM in order to activate the water pressure switch on the heat pump.

Would this pump be suitable for replacing a Jacuzzi Magnum 1000 pump. I have a 23000 gallon pool where there’s only a skimmer, an indirect return from the Pool bottom to the skimmer and just the two jets all on 1.5” plumbing? The pump is at same level as the pool but is 70ft away from skimmer and 50ft from the return jets. I have a 300lb sand filter and teledyne pool heater tied in. I plan to add 3-4 10ftx4ft solar panels in the near future that’ll be 12ft above the pump. Pool is perfectly clear
Reply
Hi, Gary. This pump will not be a suitable replacement for a Magnum 1000 Pump because they're two different styles of pumps which performs differently. You will need a high head variable speed pump like the Hayward Tristar VS Variable Speed Pump - SP3202VSP.

Hi there, my existing motor shows a Service Factor of 1.1 - I see that this combo shows SF 1.0 - am I ok to use this still? I currently have a Centurion motor (168453) that is going bad (bearings) and a Challenger pump of unknown age (6+). I know I already asked this, but wanted to clarify since I saw the SF variance - will this setup work for me? Also, this mentions a drop-in fit for a Hayward Super pump, but will it need much re-plumbing to match up with my Challenger?
Reply
Hi David, Yes the PL2605 will have a comparable Gallons Per Minute (GPM) Output as your Challenger and this would be the pump we would suggest as a Variable Speed Replacement for the pump you described. You will have a little bit of re-plumbing as the ports on the PureLine Prime are not in the exact same spot as the Challenger but it should not be too bad.

I currently have a Jacuzzi Magnum force 1.5HP Single speed, model 94027115. The unit still runs fine but I am researching options to reduce the energy requirements. I was reading that a variable speed unit would accomplish this. Do you have a recommendation? This is an inground 10,000 gallon sport pool with a Jacuzzi sand filter with a max working pressure of 50 psi. There is also a Trane heat pump in line with the system. Thank you. Phil
Reply
Hi Phil, This will be an awesome pump for the set up you explained. The Prime has 2" plumbing like your Jacuzzi Magnum, the plumbing ports are not in the exact same spot but they are close, meaning you will just have some minor re-plumbing. You are correct you will see big energy savings by going with a variable speed pump. With a variable speed pump you will have a full range of HP you can dial the pump into anywhere from .5 HP to 1.65 HP so for the majority of the time you will try to run the HP as low as possible to save on energy but you always have the ability to ramp up the HP as needed for things like vacuuming.

I want to replace a Pentair 011774 Whisperflo WF-28 2 HP, I feel the Pentair pump was over sized, the pool is aprox 16000 Gallons, and it was on for no more than 3-4 hrs a day to keep the pool clean , have a FNSP 60 Pentair Filter

Hi Luis, That does seem like a large pump for the sized pool that you mentioned unless you have other things the pump is powering like spa jets or a waterfall. I really like this PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pump as it gives you the flexibility to ramp the HP all the way up to 1.65 HP if you ever ran into any demanding situations or you needed the extra HP to run a suction cleaner, spa jets or water features. The majority of the time, you would try to run the pump at the lowest HP possible while still maintaining good water clarity, this will save a ton on your power bill. I would check with your local power company to see if they are offering any rebates for switching to an Energy Star Variable Speed Pump, if they are then the PureLine Prime would qualify for Energy Star VSP Rebates. If you decided you wanted to go with a standard single speed pump then you could go with the 1 HP PL2601 PureLine Prime

I need to replace a Hayward Northstar 1.5 hp pump and would like to replace with a variable speed with a timer. would this pump be a good choice?

We will need to know if your motor is full rated or an uprated model. That will affect the best variable speed pump we'd recommend. You can call in with that service factor specification that should be listed on your motor label or even your motor model, part or catalog number so we can confirm. You can also email that information in if you would like to upload@inyopools.com.

I have a 1.5 hp pentair whisper flo and want to buy a pure line. Which one can I get does it matter if I get 1.5 or 2 in pipe if I use reducer
Reply
Hi Tony, My suggestion would be this PureLine Prime 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pump. I really like this pump as it will save you a ton on your operational costs. The variable speed pumps also give you a lot of flexibility as they allow you run the pump from any RPM level between 600 - 3450 unlike single speed pumps where they run a the max RPM's of 3450 whenever they are turned on. This pump has 2" ports like your current whisperflow pump so you should be all set with your plumbing, however if you do need to use a reducer that is fine and would not be a problem.

Hi Bryan, Yes the PureLine Prime Variable Speed would work as a replacement for your pump and would be the pump we would suggest for you. You may have a little bit of re-plumbing as the plumbing ports on the pump are not in the exact same spot as your Richardson Pump but it should not be too bad.

Hi George, Based on the pool you described this pump will be a great fit. This pump will save you a ton on your power bill as you can dial it into any RPM speed between 600 - 3450 RPM's this also gives you a lot of flexibility with programming the pump for optimal efficiency.

Hello, Lori. The PL2605 will work for you based off of your current pump. However, I would not recommend running it at higher RPMs for extended periods of times due to the fact that it has a stronger HP than your current pump, which can damage your system. The warranty on this unit is 18 months for the motor and 12 months for the pump housing.

Hi Gary, This pump would be a great replacement for your current pump and would actually be the one we suggest. With this variable speed pump you will save a ton on your power bill. Also since the PureLine Prime is now Energy Star Certified you may be eligible for additional rebates with your local power company. With not knowing the model of your Hayward pump we can't guarantee that the plumbing ports will be in the exact same location, but worst case you would just have some very minor plumbing.

Hi Peggy, Thanks for the question! Based on all the info. you supplied I would suggest the PurelIne Prime PL2606 2.7 HP Variable Speed Pump The nice thing about the PL2606 is that you have the ability to ramp the pump all the way up to 2.7 HP if you need to for things like vacuuming, spa jets, water features, solar, etc... but for the vast majority of the time you will have the pump dialed down to a very low HP for general pool filtration and this is where you will see all of your energy savings. Typically you can see a savings of 50% - 75% operational cost savings over a single speed pump. I hope this helps!

If this pump is hooked to a timer, will custom settings be lost every time it shuts down?

I wired ours direct and turn it on/off with the breaker. It is wired with saltwater system. It seems to do a pretty good job remembering the previous setting every time I turn it on. I only use the preset (1-2-3) or "Override" setting which is max speed, but on Override you can customize the speed. It usually remembers the preset but sometimes I have to hit the Start button. I love this pump. It was a direct fit for the old Hayward I replaced this year and was easy to install. It is quiet and does a great job pushing water. I do have to keep it on Override or setting 1 to push enough pressure for the heater to work.

If I install this pump myself, does it void the warranty like other brands? I'm looking to replace a 1.5 HP flotec, that doesn't have enough power to operate the main drain and both skimmers. It's also about 15 years old and beyond retirement... I would prefer something variable speed and programmable. I can't decide between the 1.95 Andy the 2.7hp...
Reply
Hi Michael, No if you install the PureLine on your own, then the warranty is not voided. I like the 2.7 HP Variable Speed PureLine Prime as it gives that extra HP just in case you need it. You still have the lower HP range that you can use for everyday filtration and this will really cut down on your operational cost.

I think the PL2605 would be a great option for you, especially if you are running the pump 24/7 as you can run the pump at lower speeds for longer periods of time saving your on your operational costs. You may also want to install a Pool Timer which would allow you to schedule the pump to come on and off at certain time of the day allowing you to run for say 12 hours and not 24 hours.

I tested this pump 6+ months before submitting this review.
Overall, I am pleased with the product and would recommend it to others if seeking a replacement or as a first pump. My pool is a 10K gallon inground fiberglass unit with 2-inch PVC piping, no lengths exceeding 50 feet in total length. This 1.65 HP Pureline replaced a 1.5HP Jandy single speed and pumping performance is equal to or better based on sand filter pressure at similar RPMs.
The variable speed capability is a nice feature and allows a homeowner to customize operation based on the seasons and situations (e.g., evening pool party – normally off). I operate the pump for 10 hours total run time each day in warm weather, 2 hours at near maximum RPM for initial start and skimmer cleanup, followed by 8 hours at mid-range RPM for circulating through the sand filter and chlorine production with the salt cell.
The automatic low RPM operation at 39 degrees F is perhaps the second-best feature that eases your stress and labor when cold weather hits. The pump controller keypad is easy to use however, I still need to refer to the owner’s manual when making changes because some steps are not intuitive. I created a brief written procedure for my wife to place the pump in standby and return to operation when backwashing and rinsing the sand filter.
She added this to her smartphone and doesn’t need my assistance now for these routine evolutions. Installation of the pump required new anchor bolts in the concrete pad, minor wiring changes (i.e., terminal ends, length), and new PVC pipe configuration for the discharge to the sand filter.
If you have average weekend warrior skills as a homeowner, you can do this yourself. Make absolutely sure all power to existing wiring is dead before starting the job and expect to visit the hardware store more than once as you get smarter.

I purchased this pump to replace my Hayward 1hp Super pump for my 25,000 gal pool. The costs of running the single speed pump for 8 - 10 hours a day from June to Mid September was killing me. The initial cost of a variable speed pump was putting me off until I found Inyo Pools and the PureLine Variable speed pump. With the Electric company rebate of $200 and reduced electrical costs, this pump has easily paid for itself in less than a year.
Installation was a breeze since it fits into the footprint of the Haywards Super Pump. All I needed to do was:
1:Uninstall the Hayward Super Pump
a: turn off the power to the pump
b: unhook the electoral wires from the super pump
c: Unbolt the super pump from the concrete footing
d: Unscrew the PVC fittings from the super pump
e: remove the super pump
2: Install the new PureLine Variable Speed pump
a: Bolt the PureLine pump to the concrete footing
b: Attach the PVC fittings to the Pureline pump
c: Hook up the electrical wires to the Pureline pump
d: Fill the skimmer basket with water
e: turn on power to the PureLine Pump
f: Push the start button on the PureLine pump
g: Program the pump per the directions
3: SAVE MONEY
That's it. I am no handyman. Although I can do minor repairs this was one of the easiest jobs I ever did.

I removed the old pump, replaced with the variable speed pump. The wiring was tricky; the two holes for wiring on my old pump didn't fit the new pump setup. Luckily there were three holes for wiring on the new pump so I made an adjustment that works fine. The new pump was about one inch lower than the old pump, so I needed to raise the new pump up a little. Twenty minutes total time for the replacement.

Pros: smooth, quiet, easy DIY connection
Cons: none, so far...
I replaced an older Hayward SP with this one. I had replaced the old induction motor with a Marathon Impower motor, but the motor electronics failed and parts are not available. Since I was already sold on the power savings of the high efficiency motors, I was not going back. This pump and motor is impressive right out of the box. The connections were easy and it runs smooth and quiet. I hooked it up to my old trusty Intermatic timer which also turns my salt system on at the same time. With more RPM choices than my old motor, I will probable save even more. Programming is actually easier than the manual suggests. BUT... the best part of the deal was the customer service! Thanks!

Reviewed By: ()
Just got it running yesterday so not sure about quality and how long it will last. I replaced a 5 year old Super Pump 2 that was over sized. First thing I noticed was the Pureline is a lot quieter. Thought it was broke when it first spun up :) Next, my pump pressure went from 15 to 8 but the spa waterfall still works great and I am running it around 3100 RPM's but will probably drop it more and I experiment. Wish it had a clock but since my speed won't vary a lot not that big of a deal, now I drop it a few hundred RPM's at night. Last thing is it runs cool. My old pump motor was hot to the touch this one has a fan and seems almost cold, which is a good thing. I am debating adding a cover over the pump to help keep water sun and junk from hitting it. Little worried about the panel even though it's under a strong metal cover.

Replaced a Hayward SP2600VS with the PL2605. I can tell you the the ports lined up with my existing piping perfectly. I took a chance and bought reducers 2" x 1 1/2 bung type and was able to tighten everything enough and reconnect without cutting one piece of PVC. A second observation was that the 2605 was noticeably heavier than the Hayward on the motor side. Just going to call that a plus. The Hayward was installed in Jan 2014 by the previous homeowner who left us all the documentation and it almost made it 5 years so I'm not knocking the brand and have no knowledge of how the new Hayward or the others are built. But, I would recommend giving this line a try and save yourself some money. They ship fast and being a Florida resident I had mine in two days. P.S I have not tried to program anything yet. I was so happy the install went so well I primed it and pushed start. It primed and let it go to work using the built in programming for now.

This pump was so easy to install. And the cost savings were immediate. I noticed an immediate and significant drop in my electrical usage after moving from a single speed pump to this variable speed pump. I used to run my pool from around June 1 to Sept 15 for 8 - 10 hours a day. Now I open the pool in early March and run til the end of September and run the pump for 24 hours a day (I run it very slow at night just to keep the water circulating. I estimate the cost to run it for 12 hours overnight at very slow speed to be about $3 per month)

So far we rate the product with 5 stars. However, we are just now installing the pump so we have not had any runtime yet. Our pool is 18 x 36.
