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

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

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!

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.

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)?

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.
