Hi! I'm new here! Here is my issue... I had a 1 speed Hayward pump that died a week ago(probably 10 years old). I went ahead and bought a used Hayward Maxflo Variable pump. I installed it this past weekend and when giving it power it shows on the display Err1 and that's it. The motor does not turn on and nothing else happens. I tried resetting it and nothing. I checked the wiring and everything seems fine. I really have no idea what could be the issue. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! Please HELP!!
Hayward Pool pump doesn't run!

Welcome to TFP!!!Well, you bought it used, are you sure it was functional to begin with?
Are you sure the correct voltage is being applied?
Hi, thanks!
Yeah... I did buy it used and no I wasn't sure if it was functional. At this point I'm just trying to figure out if I will be able to fix it... The correct voltage is being applied, which is 240. Any idea of what could be wrong? Thanks!

I am not sure. If the power is correct, then the electronics may be bad and I am not sure they are repairable for a reasonable cost.
Here is the manual: https://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/manuals/MaxFloVS.pdf
Page 22 lists the error codes. Err01 is undervoltage on DC link
No idea what that means.

I see... I guess I'll just have to get rid of it and get a NEW one this time... What pump would you suggest for my pool? I bought this one because I knew I couldn't go wrong in terms of efficiency but reading through the forum I might not really need it... My pool is a 16,000 gallon, 16X30. Would a 2 speed save the same in electricity? Thanks!
Looks like there may be a way to reset the motor and see if the error reappears.

A 2-speed would save most of the power over a single speed. They are also much less susceptible to damage from nearby lightning strikes. A 1HP 2-speed would be fine like the Hayward Super Pump or Pentair Superflo.
I may not give up on the VS just yet. See if the manual helps first.

Yup, I tried that... When calling Hayward they basically want to replace the whole thing.
