General FAQ's for All Hayward Pumps

How does my in-ground Pump operate?

• Hayward in-ground pumps are self-priming centrifugal pumps. These pumps have a vacuum chamber, commonly known as a pump housing. The pump housing must be filled with water in order to create a vacuum, resulting in the pump drawing the water out of your pool or spa. The pump housing will remain full of water while the pump is on, and will remain full or partially full when the pump is shut off.
• When powered on, the motor will begin to rotate. Two-speed pumps will power on a pre-selected speed or with some controllers, it will cycle at high before changing to the lower speed. The motor spins the pump impeller, located inside the pump volute. While the motor is rotating, the tips of the impeller are hydraulically sealed inside the pump diffuser, which is responsible for self-priming.
• Self-priming can only occur if the pump has a diffuser--all in ground Hayward pumps have an internal diffuser. It helps to eliminate any air approaching into the pump housing from the suction piping. As all the air is removed from the system, you will notice bubbles returning to the pool through the return fittings. A full prime occurs when the bubbles stop returning to the pool and the pump basket is full of water. The filter pressure will rise as the pump reaches full prime. The actual gallons per minute (GPM) vary with the type of pump, horsepower, pipe size, distance from pool and other restrictions within the plumbing system.
• Hayward self-priming pumps are very dependable and simple in design. They require a sufficient supply of water from the pool or spa, and no air in the suction lines. Air could come from a loose strainer cover, a leak in any valve, a pinhole in any suction line or a crack or loose connections in the underground piping.

Do I need to have a strainer basket in my pump pot?

• Yes. Without the strainer basket, debris will clog the impeller in the pump volute causing the pump to cease moving water. Be sure to clean your strainer basket, as well as the skimmer baskets, so water flow is not obstructed and the pump is not overworked.

How do I winterize my pump?

• To winterize a Hayward Pool pump, turn off the electrical circuit breaker that supplies power to the pump. Also, make sure that there is NO water left inside the pump. All Hayward pumps are equipped with drain plugs that will allow excess water to drain once the plugs are removed. Contact your local Hayward dealer for proper winterization procedures.

How many hours per day should I run my pump?

• There are many factors to consider; bather load, gallons of water, pump horsepower, type and size of filter just to name a few. A good guideline is 8-10 hours a day. On the cooler days and early and late season, you can cut the run time down to 4-6 hours because there is usually less swimmers and cooler water requires less chemicals. In peak season, when it is the hottest, raising the run time to 10-12 hours per day will help to keep the pool clean and circulating during it's time of heaviest use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes you need more power! September 13, 2009

By G. E. Williams VINE™ VOICE

Size Name:1-1/2-Horsepower

Several years back we had our pool redone, and my wife had a new Hayward pump and filter installed. While the filter worked well, the pump never seemed to move the pool cleaner systems around the pool right. We tried a few different systems the Kreepy Krawley, the Barracuda etc, and I finally thought that I should get the Hayward and that might work better with the Hayward pump? It was the best at cleaning the pool floor, but was the worst yet with the walls. Finally this summer, the pump completely siezed up and after several tries at repairs, I gave up and decided to by a new pump. I considered just getting a new motor, but I had a thought, that "what If the pump is just the wrong one?"

I have a pretty large pool for a back yard pool, and the max flow pump was a 3/4 hp which seemed like not enough, so after considering volume and distance, I decided on the Super Pump 1 1/2 hp. It was a very simple switch, just two wires,(and a ground wire of course) and the plumbing was an exact match.

Now my Hayward pool vac system literally flies around the pool, and does the work in much less than half the time it would have taken before and goes into every inch of the surface sides and bottom.

I wish I would have bought it sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pump, great price June 28, 2010

By Peter Mueller

Size Name:1-Horsepower|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this after my old pump (not sure how old, it was there when I bought the house) started to leak. You can spend an afternoon poking around for seal parts, etc..., but Amazon's got some great pricing on this pump. Look at it this way: Spend $100 refitting an old pump, or $300 on a new one. It'll last you >10 years, so think of it as a $30/yr investment... You'll be glad you did.
Another thing I'd recommend is don't wait too long to swap it out. The longer you let your old pump sit there, the more it's corroding on the inside, and the harder it'll be to reuse your current plumbing connections. In the grand scheme, it's those plumbing connections that will really cost you in time/money down the road, not the pump.
A few have commented on loudness of the pump. All I can say is it seems pretty quiet - almost impossible to hear from 20 feet away.
Remember: the pump comes pre-wired for 220V. You can use 110V, but you have to make a small adjustment inside the pump. It's no biggie, but it's important you know what you have.
One more thing: Don't use getting a new pump as an excuse to 'upgrade' in terms of HP. Assume that the previous installer knew what they were doing. Going for that 'extra 1/2 HP' might muck up your plans, even if it seems cheap to do. What you really care about is flow-through. Make sure that the Gallons per Hour (only calculable with a host of other information about your pool) will cycle through all your water every 8-10 hours your pump is on.

3.0 out of 5 stars It could last longer May 12, 2010

By David Johnson

Size Name:1-1/2-Horsepower

I have now purchased three of these beasts. Amazon is the best price, but I sure wish the pumps would last longer. I replaced the first after some 6 years of service because it began running very hot. The second ran for only a couple years. It complete seized while being idle for almost 20 months. I suspect some chlorinated water slipped past the seal and corroded the shaft. I also considered a motor only replacement, but with shipping and a new seal, the savings weren't enough for the couple hours needed to strip one of the pumps and replace the motor/seal.
