I purchased this variable speed pump a little less than three years ago when I had my in-ground pool installed. What a mistake! First, the power "savings". The manufacturer claims that this pump uses up to 80% less power but does not provide any data to back up the claim. While the pump uses less power when running at lower speeds, you are also filtering less water when the pump runs at lower speeds. Given that this variable speed pump costs about twice as much as a single speed pump, it will take years of power savings to recoup the added cost for this pump. As I mentioned before, I purchased this variable speed pump a little less than three years ago when I had my in ground pool installed. Last year, after less than two years in service, the pump started to shut down for some unknown reason. The variable speed control box was HOT, probably due to a combination of heat from sunlight absorbed by the black control box and heat generated internally by the pump itself. I suspect that this heat has “fried” the electronics in the variable speed control box. Fast forward to this year. I opened my pool about three weeks ago. The pump ran for about two days, and then quit. As of late, I am lucky if the pump runs for 6 hours on cool days. I have been waiting over 2½ weeks now for replacement parts from Hayward (poor product support). Fortunately, this repair is covered by the pool installer’s warrantee. If not, I would be looking at a $200 - $300 repair bill. Do yourself a favor, do not buy this pump!Read full review

I replaced my old single speed motor to this one. It was simple and the settings are simple as well.

Happy with purchase and performance. Easy to install. Setup was easy. I love the multiple settings you can save by day week and times. Very Quiet. Can't wait to see my savings on electricity.

The pump is very quiet and does a good job, but can find no one who can really set the timer

This pump is good for a small pool or spa with 1 1/2 piping. Not powerful enough for a large pool or pool with in ground cleaning system.
