Hayward Super Pump

The Super Pump is the pump most people inherit rather than choose. It has been on the back of American pools for decades, it is the one every service tech can rebuild from memory, and parts for it are on the shelf of every pool store in the country. That last point matters more than any spec on this page.

The parts diagram covers six models from 0.60 to 2.5 horsepower, and they are far more alike than the model numbers suggest. All six share the same housing, strainer basket, lid, gasket, shaft seal and drain plugs. What actually changes is the impeller and the motor — which is why ordering parts means knowing your exact model number, and why the table below is the useful part of this page.

The 1.1 HP SP2607X10 is the one most residential pools land on. It moves 66 GPM at 40 feet of head, a comfortable single-speed match for 2-inch plumbing.

The one genuine outlier is the SP2621X25. Despite wearing the Super Pump name it uses a different housing, diffuser and seal plate from the other five, so parts that fit the rest of the range will not fit it.

Six in the parts diagram, four on the spec sheet, one on the shelf

Worth separating, because all three statements are true and they answer different questions.

The parts diagram, ISSPSERIES Rev E, covers six models — SP2600X5, SP2605X7, SP2607X10, SP2610X15, SP2615X20 and SP2621X25. If you own one of those, parts are listed for it, and the table on this page is that diagram.

Hayward's current spec sheet lists four, and they are not the six minus two:

• SP2600X5 — 0.60 total HP, WEF 4.3
• SP2605X7 — 0.85 total HP, WEF 3.9
• SP2607X10 — 1.10 total HP, WEF 3.4
• SP2607X102S — 1.00 total HP, two speed, WEF 4.5

The 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 HP models are not on it. That is the same pattern the DOE rules produced at Pentair and Jandy, where the top of each single-speed range went and the bottom survived.

Hayward's own pool pump listing currently shows one single-speed Super Pump, the SP2607X10, alongside two Super Pump VS 600 models — a 1.65 HP and a 2.25 HP, both with OmniX built in, and both sharing this pump's housing, basket, lid, gaskets, seal and impeller part numbers. So if you are buying rather than repairing, the modern Super Pump is a variable-speed pump.

One number in that table is worth pausing on. The two-speed SP2607X102S is the most efficient pump in the range at WEF 4.5 — better than the smallest single-speed, at a nominal horsepower above it. Two speeds is not variable speed, but on this range it is the efficient choice, and it is the model people do not know exists.

Read the model number before you buy

Hayward sells this machine under two numbers, and the difference is the warranty rather than the pump.

SP2607X10 is the standard model, sold through pool dealers. W3SP2607X10 is the same pump as Hayward's Open Line, approved for online sale.

Buying the W3 online is sanctioned — this is not a void-warranty situation, whatever you read elsewhere. But the coverage differs by channel, and Hayward's longest parts-and-labor terms attach to the Expert Line, sold through authorized dealers. If a listing shows a W3 prefix, you are buying the online-approved version, and you should know that going in rather than after a failure.

Whether it is the right size

Almost nobody needs more pump than this, and a good number of people bought more.

Oversizing is the most common and most expensive mistake on a pool, because the penalty is not a failure — it is a bill that arrives every month for a decade. A pump that moves water faster than the filter can process it costs more to run, filters worse, and pushes your whole system harder for no benefit. Pump sizing is worth ten minutes before you replace like for like.

If you are replacing rather than repairing, worth knowing that Pentair markets the SuperFlo VST as a drop-in replacement for this exact pump — though it runs 1.5-inch ports against the Super Pump's 2-inch, so check your plumbing before believing the phrase.

The other question worth asking is whether a single-speed pump is the right purchase at all in 2026. Variable-speed models cost more up front and less to run, sometimes dramatically so, and how long you run the pump is where that difference actually shows up.

When it stops priming

The Super Pump's characteristic failure is a loss of prime, and it is usually the cheapest possible cause.

Air is getting in somewhere on the suction side: a strainer lid o-ring that has gone hard, a lid not seated, a low water level, or a drain plug backed out. Those cost about ten dollars apiece and ten minutes. Only after ruling them out is it worth looking at the impeller or the shaft seal.

The full diagnostic order matters here, because people replace the expensive part first and find the problem was a ten-dollar o-ring.
