Hayward’s best-selling Super Pump just got even better! The new variable-speed Super Pump VS takes efficiency to the next level with up to 80% energy cost savings over single-speed pool pumps.
VSPs are the ultimate way to save your customers energy. Most other variable-speed models, however, are oversized when compared to medium-head pool pumps. The all-new Super Pump VS is right-sized, particularly for applications with 1.5” plumbing, providing tremendous energy savings that result in an even faster return on investment.
Upgraded features such as a new built-in time clock make operation even easier. The intuitive user interface is now rotatable so it always faces the right direction and the new wiring compartment makes installation quick and reliable.
Upgrade your pools to Super Pump VS and help your customers save energy and money!
What is difference between Hayward SP2603VSP (which is a super variable pump “expert line”), or Hayward W3SP2303VSP or Hayward W3SP2603VSP?
Reply
They are the same thing. The "WS" is a Hayward number meaning it is sold online. But the product is the exact same thing. Hayward just likes to make things confusing with this :)

Thank you. That explains the difference in the beginning. But note that one ends in 2603 and the other in 2303. Isn't there a difference?

What pump should I order for a 29000 gallon inground pool? Looking at the hayward super pump VS model

Hello John, going with a variable speed does set you for success on something like this as you can adjust the speed hence flow rates that would best suit the pool circulation/turn over needs however, if you would like to calculate the exact single-speed minimum requirements here is a guide that we put together called "How to Size a Pool Pump for Your In-Ground Pool" that should further assist.

Hi, What is the best variable speed pump to replace my old Hayward super pump? My old pump is dead. The numbers are all faded so I can’t tell the model. I have attached a pic of what is visible. Call me let me anytime. Thanks

I have a 24000 gallon pool with 2 skimmers same line and 2 main drains same line that are about 70’ from filter. I have the Hayward variable speed sp2603vsp. What rpm should I run to change over once a day. Also have a Hayward t-15 salt generator and a Hayward 400 NG heater

Hi, Chris. Use our How To Measure Total Dynamic Head With Gauges guide to calculate the TDH of your pool. The use the Super Pump VSP Performance Curve to determine the GPM's to RPM data. If you need assistance Contact Us.

Hi, I have a 28K gal. in ground, 1.5" lines (2 skimmer, 1 main & 2 return) with approx. 50ft TDH. I want to upgrade my 20" sand filter to a Hayward 24" sand filter (62GPM). I currently have an old 3/4hp Hayward single speed pump and looking to upgrade to a larger variable pump to support the larger filer...is this a good choice?
Reply
Hi, Greg. Yes, this pump will be sufficient for your pool at full speed. However, with 50 TDH, you're unable to operate the pump below 3000 RPMs.

I have a 30k gallon 20x40 pool. Just added a Hayward heat pump and salt water chlorinator last year. Was running a 1.5HP Hayward single speed super pump through 1.5 in plumbing. This year installing all new 2 in plumbing and want to add a variable speed pump. What would be the best model?

I have a Hayward single speed pump and I would like to move to a Variable speed. Is it difficult to switch manufacturers. I was looking at Pentair brand over Hayward. is the install going to be much more difficult.
Reply
Hi, Sean. It is no difficult to switch manufacturers. You may have to replumb your system based on the pump you have and the pump that you'll be installing. Pentair has a very strict warranty policy.

I don't see a chart for this pump; rpm, output %, gpm
Reply
The manufacturer does not provide a pump curve for this pump due to the fact that it has various RPM options. The closest curves that may be relevant to it would be the various curves on all of the Super pump models.

The pool I plan on installing is roughly 19,000 gallons. I will have 2 skimmers, and 2 main drains (on same Line). 5 returns.
The pump will be roughly 40 feet from Skimmer 1 and the Main drains, and roughly 70' from Skimmer 2. I will have a return line for a automatic vacuum later on.
I can go either 1.5" or 2" pipe size depending on the size of the pool pump I will need.
My question is Will the Super Pump 700 work or do I need to bump that up to the TriStar 900

Hi,
I have a 23,500 gallon pool, 2886 GPH, 48 GPM and I think a Total Dynamic Head of around 20. I presently have a 1HP 230V AO Smith Century Centurion pump, and a Hayward Super Star Clear model C-4000.
Would the Hayward Super Pump VS Variable Speed Pump 230V in 1HP be a proper replacement pump?
Thanks

Hi I have a kidney shaped free form pool that is roughly 32000 gallons. I have a Hayward 200lb sand filter and currently a burned out whisperflo 2 hp pump. Was told the intelliflow 011018 would be to much for the 11/2" piping and the filter set up. What would you recommend ? I am looking at a VS pump to save on the electric bill. Also I have no extras running off the pump besides a kreepy krawly. Thanks
Reply
Hi, Jr. I would recommend the Hayward Tristar VS Variable Speed Pump - SP3200VSP.

What horse power is needed for a 27,000 gal pool? Thanks.
Reply
Hi. In order find out what horsepower is needed for your pool, you will first need to calculate the Feet of Head of your pool and turnover rate which can all be found in our How To: Size an In-Ground Pool Pump guide.

I have a 25000 gal pool with a 3/4 hp single speed pump w/1.5 in. piping and am looking at replacing with the intellifo 011018. If I went with the Super pup VS Variable Speed Pump what model would I need?
Reply
Kenneth, You can take a look at the SP2602VSP. Please note that the pump uses 230/240v only. Also, if you have a lot of elbows in your plumbing, the pump will not be able to circulate the water at the lower speeds.

We're planning a 10K gallon in-groud pool upgrade -- up from a 3K gallon in-ground swim spa and re-using our salt-chlorine generator (+ roof solar). We need to upgrade the pump/filter and hook it all to the time-clock. Questions: Which filter: C9002 or C12002? Would this pump pair well with either (+ 2in lines)? When connecting to the timer, would the SCG hook to the timer on the pump or would I need a separate time clock (and then bypass the pump timer)?
Reply
Hi Hunter, The C12002 filter will be better than the C9002. The Super Pump VS pump has 1-1/2" port but a reducer will be needed for 2" pipe. The pump has a built-in timer but the SCG will have to be powered by an external timer.

My 24,000 gal. pool has 1 1/2" piping. A local pool supply store recommended the intelliflo vs, which I see you said was overkill, and you recommend this pump instead. They also recommended a Clean and Clear 320 sq. ft. filter, which appears to be oversized for this pump, which filter would you suggest to match with this pump? Thanks!
Reply
Hi Liam, we always suggest going oversized on the filter as it puts less stress on your pump and you will have less time between cleanings. For these reasons we would suggest staying with the Clean and Clear Plus 320 filter.

I have a Hayward Northstar pump 1.5 HP SP1615-Z-1-BNSC. I want to replace it with a variable speed pump. What model do I get for a replacement, hopefully without changing the plumbing pipes
