My Hayward Ecostar just got a "pump stalled" error. After reading about this on the internet I consider myself lucky that I got 5.5 years out of it with absolutely no problems. It might be because I have a PS3000 Intermatic surge protector installed, and because I rarely ran the pump at speeds over 2900 RPM. But now I need to move on and buy another pump. I would like to buy a Tristar VS 950 (Model SP32950VSP with 4-year warranty), but I don't want to do it unless the electronics are more reliable than the Ecostar electronics. Does anyone have experience with the Tristar VS 950 (regarding reliability and differences between the Ecostar and Tristar electronics) that they can share with me?
I also looked at Jandy VS pumps. The only one that will fit into my setup is the Jandy Flopro (the Epump and PlusHP are too long). Do you think the Flopro would be a better investment than a Tristar?
