What is the voltage on this unit? How long is the manufactures warranty? If the system requires repairs during warranty, what do I do?
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/4/2006 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

This pump runs on 115V power. This unit comes with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. If the pump needed repair, you would call Hayward directly and they would put you in touch with a warranty service station in your area.

Does this pump come with an on/off switch? What is the amp draw of the motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/11/2007 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

This motor does not come with an on/off switch.  We recommend the following timer for 1hp models:  http://www.inyopools.com/Products/02400001004822.htm.  For 1.5hp models, we recommend this timer: http://www.inyopools.com/Products/02200022032590.htm.   Amp draw for the 1hp motor is 13.8 amps, and 15 amps for the 1.5hp motor.

How many hours per day should I run my pump?
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/8/2013 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

There are many factors to consider; bather load, gallons of water, pump horsepower, type and size of filter just to name a few. A good guideline is 8-10 hours a day. On the cooler days and early and late season, you can cut the run time down to 4-6 hours because there is usually less swimmers and cooler water requires less chemicals. In peak season, when it is the hottest, raising the run time to 10-12 hours per day will help to keep the pool clean and circulating during it’s time of heaviest use.

sorry but no. You will need to at least look at the capacitor to get the mfd rating to match it up. You should be able to get the information without removing. If removing, be very careful & you will need to discharge the capacitor after removing the leads as it can still hold voltage.

What is the best pump for a 33rd round above ground pool?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/2/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Megan C.

If you are not restricted to use a certain pump as many of the pump/filter combos by Pentair, StaRite, and Jacuzzi will require the original pump that was sold with it to make the connections from the pump and filter. A 1.5HP or 2.0HP is a great choice (For round above ground pools over 24 ft.  (pools with more than 15.300 gallons) use a 1.5 HP pump.) The Hi-Flo Above Ground Pool Pump 1.5 HP 115V with CORD & 24 HOUR TIMER - PD11506-TIMER (Standard 3-Prong Plug) is a very nice pump that would work great for a 33' round pump.
