Hi All - I'm looking to upgrade the motor on a 2Hp Hayward MaxFlo XL pump to a variable speed pump and after thoroughly confusing myself I'm hoping to get a little confirmation before I pull the trigger on a new motor - manual here https://ca.hayward.com/media/akeneo_connector/asset_files/I/S/IS2300_RevE_d94c.pdf.

I'm looking at getting the following two pieces to do the upgrade
- This 2.25 HP VSP from Nidec NIDEC NEPTUNE VAR SLEED MOTOR 2.25 HP NPTQ225
- This GO kit Aladdin GO-KIT1V for Hayward Max Flo Pump Series 1800-2800

My questions are, is this all I need to do the replacement? I understand the pump needs a '48Y' flange, is this motor correct? Anything else I need to know or should get in advance?

Thanks for all advice, eager to give this a shot but I'm really a complete newbie to this type of thing.
 
Looks good.

Final question (I hope) - I just realized the 2.7HP version is the same price, any benefit to getting the larger motor? I assume it'll be cheaper to run, but would this mean I need to swap the impeller in the pump?

No. You cannot get a larger impeller for that pump than the one you have. The 2.25 is just fine.
