Hayward Tristar VS 950 Variable Speed Pump

The Hayward TriStar VS 950 (model SP32950VSP) is engineered for maximum energy savings, hydraulic power, and retrofit flexibility. With a total horsepower of 2.7 and a dual-voltage permanent magnet motor (115V/230V), it delivers outstanding flow performance while dramatically reducing energy usage. Rated at a WEF of 10.1 (115V) and 7.3 (230V), this ENERGY STAR® certified pump can save pool owners up to $1,500 annually on electricity costs, making it one of the most efficient options in its class.

• Clear-View Strainer Basket: No-rib basket with a transparent lid lets you check and clean debris with ease.
• Ultra-Quiet Performance: Enhanced motor drive reduces noise by up to 30% during high-speed operation.
• High-Efficiency Hydraulics: Redesigned flow path offers enough power to replace pumps up to 3 HP with improved energy use.

• Rotatable Wall-Mounted Touchpad: User-friendly controller can be turned in four directions for flexible placement.
• Flexible Wiring Options: Rear and side conduit entries support both high and low voltage hookups for faster installation.
• Efficient PMM TEFC Motor: Features a permanent magnet motor with a fan-cooled, sealed housing for durability and consistent performance.

Designed for simple integration into new or existing pool pads, the VS 950 includes 2” x 2.5” CPVC union connections, dual base options, and side and rear conduit entries for flexible high- and low-voltage setups. Unlike other high-horsepower pumps that may require major electrical upgrades, the VS 950’s dual-voltage compatibility eliminates costly rewiring, making it an ideal solution for both new construction and retrofits.

Performance is at the core of the TriStar VS 950. Its advanced hydraulic design ensures powerful circulation—easily replacing older high-performance pumps up to 3.0 HP. The no-rib strainer basket with a see-through cover simplifies maintenance by making debris removal fast and hassle-free. A chemical-resistant Viton® seal provides robust internal protection against wear and corrosion, helping extend service life even in harsh pool environments.
