I have a Hayward NorthStar that I am looking to replace. The only one's I see all have a threaded union connection. Do you still carry the one with the Quad lock?

Unfortunately Hayward discontinued the Quad Lock design on the NorthStar pump models in 2007. The housing on the newer pumps is a threaded design and re-plumbing would be necessary.

What is the replacement for this pump. Do you have a single speed and a dual speed version? I'd like to compare the prices. Thanks - Bob

Hi, Bob. You can use the Hayward Tristar Pump as a replacement. The Tristar - SP3215EE (Single Speed) or the SP32152EE (Dual Speed).

Looking to replace my 1.5hp Northstar pump with a variable speed pump. 25k gallon pool with in floor cleaning system. Any suggestions? Is the Northstar a high flow or high head pump?

Hi, Justin. You can use the Hayward TriStar VS Pump - SP3200VSP as an option. The Northstar Pump is a High Flow pump.

Hi Jerry, A comparable Whisperflo Pump would be a 2 HP Full Rate Whisperflo Pump you could also go with a variable speed pump like the 2.7 HP PureLine Prime Pump on the High Speed the PureLine Prime is comparable to your Northstar but you also have the ability to run the pump at much lower speeds to save a ton on your power bill. The PureLine Prime is Energy Star Certified which means a lot of local power companies are offering pretty sizeable rebates for switching to Variable Speed.

Hello Robert, we would recommend the IntelliFloXF Variable Speed Pump 022055. The IntelliFloXF™ variable speed pump packs more money-saving innovations into a single pump than any other. The difference is a breakthrough by Pentair; we pioneered XF pump hydraulics, optimizing interior passageways and impeller operation to decrease turbulent flow and increase energy efficiency. The IntelliFloXF pump comes packed with many more features to make it easier to use and last longer, including a super-quiet totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor, long-lasting EPDM seals, and our exclusive Cam and Ramp™ see-through lid that makes inspection and cleaning a breeze. It took computerized Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis to achieve it, and it gives you another great offering to attract customers who want the very best in energy-efficient technology.

I have a Hayward Northstar 1.5 Hp pump, installed in 2004, that has failed. What is the best reliable replacement?

Hello Miillan.  The Hayward TriStar 1 1/2 HP Energy Efficient Full Rated Pump model W3SP3215EE would be an excellent replacement for the Hayward 1.5 HP NorthStar Pool Pump.  Hayward published performance data for both pumps is almost identical.  Hayward TriStar 1-1/2 HP, Energy Efficient, Full Rated Pump - W3SP3215EE
