Hayward Tristar 2- speed pump

[rstandi]

Hi,

I built my pool 5 years ago and got the Hayward Tristar 2-speed pump for it. The pump was supposed to be 110/220 according to the dealer, like my previous super pump. When we went to wire it in, there was no option for 110. In order to get it running, I just used my old super pump and decided to run the wiring at a later date. Well, Like I said, that was 5 years ago. My super pump just died, and I would like to use the Tri-Star. The question is, after looking at many threads here, is there a way to use a switch for this pump or does it have to be used with an automation system?

Thanks for the help...

Rod,

You can use a switch to select low or high speed, or you can install a mechanical two-speed timer. There is no need for an automation system.

On the pump should be a diagram of how to wire it...

I assume that you are going to install a 220 volt line to your equipment pad... You could just have the electrician hook the pump up while he is there.

Thanks for posting,
