I am going to go with the new Tristar. Hayward offering it at $729 + tax and install costs.

Hi. I had a Hayward VSP 3400 put in about 5.5 years ago. Worked great mostly. Last year there was a crack in the housing that was fixed for around $500 and then had some pump not priming last fall which was resolved by Hayward. Now I just got the dreaded Drive error pump stall error. Should...

Thanks for the response. Ill have to double check where it is. I could probably do it, but I would need help and Im gonna be out of town for a while. Im just going to have them do it. But if the part is $250, Ill assume the rate of around $500 is ok, because it includes their prior visit to...

Hi all, 1st time poster. I just had a hayward sp3400vsp pump put in. I previously had a single speed 3450 rpm pump that was running about 8 hours at night. I live in Phoenix with a peak off peak electricity plan. (My peak cost time is noon-7pm so I would like to avoid usage during this time). I...
