Hello,
About 9 years ago, I switched my brothers pool over from a single speed Pentair 2hp pump to the tried and true Pentair 3hp 3050 VS pump. It has worked flawlessly until recently. He was so happy with the savings over the years using the VS pump, that his natural decision was to replace it with same pump. Guess what, nobody has them in stock and nobody can tell us when they will be in. With that said, he a very basic pool with no water features and he only runs a suction side cleaner as his only extra thing running. We have called around and can get a Hayward pumps, so he is willing to switch.
Can someone suggest a Hayward replacement VS pump that will easily fit in place of the Pentair 3050, using the following specs.
- No waterfalls, no spa, chlorine pool
- 35' x 19' rectangle x 12ft deep end gunnite pool, about 30K gallons.
- No floor drain.
- (3) standard returns, (1) skimmer
- 2" equipment pad pvc piping, pad is 8 feet from pool
- No automation, 230v subpanel for pump
- suction side cleaner.
I know the Pentair 3hp VS pump was probably overkill at the time, but they were only $825 at the time. Now the price has doubled, but he would still buy one if he could.
Thanks..
