OK final chapter. I replaced the pump with a Hayward Tristar SP3220EE single speed (selling the house soon). I picked it up from will call at the pump place and paid $647.00. Not bad counting Ca. tax. Installed the pump on the raises base from the old pump. The base is cement siding so I just...

Also I have heard different answers but do you bolt down the pump or not? I was told by a pool place that they don't bolt them down but what about torque on start up?

OK, I pick up my new pump tomorrow but I have a question about bases. When the pool was installed about 13 years ago. They used a pre-cast concrete pad for all the equipment. When the 2.0 hp Hayward Northstar died I replaced it with a 2.0 hp Hayward Super Pump (not the right pump). I now will be...

The two speed would be a good idea if I was staying but the house will be on the market soon and most home buyer will not understand the better pump.

I had just replaced my T 15 cell last summer and then this happened, no LEDs on the display and judging by the pic I have the same model as you. I see the price has gone up, I paid $2.00 for my thermistor a year ago;-). You would think pool service companies would learn this. They could charge...

Well looks like the quest is over. Just ordered a "Hayward TriStar High Performance Energy Efficient Pump 2.0HP FR | 115/230V | SP3220EE" so now I just need to install it. Thanks everyone for the advice. Wish I found this site a year ago but I did save a fortune with the $2.00 fix for my salt...

Just curios but how much did you put in? Just considering I need #300 of solar salt when ever I refill my pool I don't know what a little Epsom would do in the Jacuz but what do I know.

Yes it appears I replaced a 160 gpm @ 40' with a 100 gpm @ 40' pump. Wondered why the spa doesn't bubble. That pump is now dead because I believe the vendor screwed me with an open box deal some scratches on the pump but I think it landed on the shaft end and that lead to the untimely death. It...

The Northstar was a "full rated 2.0 hp" with a SF of 1.35 and total HP was 2.70. The Hayward SP3020EEAZ Super II is "full rated at 2.0hp" with a SF 1.25 and a total 2.5hp

It's not a Super II and didn't move enough water/ I did need to change the plumbing for the new pump. What would be a good replacement with no bell and whistles, I'm moving in a year. I'll pay for the work but I want to know what's up

Hello OK, I guess looking at what I have and giving as much info as I can will help. This is a multie part issue. The old pump, a Hayward Northstar 2.0hp self priming. Pump started making a loud noise and got louder and louder. I ordered a new single speed pump from an Ontario, CA (California...

My 12 yr old Hayward pump died and I replaced it with a new Hayward 2.5 hp pump just like the old one but it doesn't move enough water to make the spa bubble. Any thoughts?
