Helping a friend replace their single speed pool pump to VS pump. Hoping to get some varied input on what pumps TFP crew is a fan of? Cost is a big consideration. It’s a 1.5hp Pump for a 20,000 gallon pool with 500 gal spa. What’s the latest feeling in SVRS? I’ll be installing for them.
Here’s the list:
Pentair’s Versions:
-011018 IntelliFlo 3hp, $960 8 speed
-011012 Intelliflo VS VF High Performance $1200 3hp 16 speed
-011017 IntelliFlo w/SVRS 3hp $1250
HAYWARD:
-SP2602VSP Hayward SuperFlo $636 SALE (1.5hp?)
-SP2303VSP Hayward Max-Flo (1.65hp) $689 Amazon
-SP2603VSP Hayward Super Pump VS- (1.5hp) $815
-SP3202VSP Hayward Tristar VS Variable Speed Pump - ($880-$1200) 1.85hp
-SP3400VSP Hayward EcoStar VS ($879) 2.7hp
I’ve been very happy with my Hayward Tristar VS (installed 2015). When I was shopping, the Pentair Intelliflo (Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo) was too much juice (3 hp) and I liked Tristar’s 1.85hp for my sized pool. I see Pentair now offers the Superflo VS (Pentair 342001 SuperFlo VS Variable Speed Pool Pump, 1 1/2 Horsepower). What’s the difference?
Thanks all!
