Pump Assy
Had a 2 1/2 horse power pump from Rec. Warehouse would only put out 10-12 psi and was very noise. Installed this Hayward SP1580X15 Power-Flo LX Series Pump 1-1/2 Horse Power. Putting out 15psi and very little noise from pump. Only draw back is it only has one speed HIGH. Getting ready to open pool up next week. Time will tell how well it works. I believe for the money you can not beat it Rec. Warehouse wanted over $300. The pressure coming out of the return hose is great. Hope this helps you!

Hayward 1 hp Pool pumpPump was exactly as advertised and met my needs. I didn't pay attention to the shipping details and consequently delivery took longer than expected. To be fair though shipping was prompt and delivery on time even though it was slower than I wanted.

constantly needs repairs
I have had my Hayward pool vac for about 3 years now. This pool cleaner requires constant maintenance. There are so many moving parts and they all wear out and are quite expensive to replace. At this point the pool cleaner just sits in one spot in my pool. I have tried adjusting the settings rearranging the hose replacing the feet and adjusting the pool suction. Its time to replace it and I wish I would have done it a long time ago because I have already spent more than what it would cost to replace with repairs.

Sometimes you need more power!Several years back we had our pool redone and my wife had a new Hayward pump and filter installed. While the filter worked well the pump never seemed to move the pool cleaner systems around the pool right. We tried a few different systems the Kreepy Krawley the Barracuda etc and I finally thought that I should get the Hayward and that might work better with the Hayward pump? It was the best at cleaning the pool floor but was the worst yet with the walls. Finally this summer the pump completely siezed up and after several tries at repairs I gave up and decided to by a new pump. I considered just getting a new motor but I had a thought that "what If the pump is just the wrong one?"
I have a pretty large pool for a back yard pool and the max flow pump was a 3/4 hp which seemed like not enough so after considering volume and distance I decided on the Super Pump 1 1/2 hp. It was a very simple switch just two wires(and a ground wire of course) and the plumbing was an exact match.
Now my Hayward pool vac system literally flies around the pool and does the work in much less than half the time it would have taken before and goes into every inch of the surface sides and bottom.
I wish I would have bought it sooner.
