Pool Pumps
Pool pumps, grouped by how they run: variable-speed pumps, single- and two-speed pumps, and the small booster pumps that drive pressure-side cleaners. Each page has the model numbers, the parts that change between models, the warranty and the manufacturer’s own manuals.

Variable-speed pumps
- HaywardHayward MaxFlo VS 400The most efficient pump in Hayward's 400, 600 and 800 series: the pumps it replaces, the torque its seal change needs, and what the LED flashes mean.
- HaywardHayward MaxFlo VS 500Hayward's newest MaxFlo: why it's a smaller pump on 115 V, the Pentair and Jandy controls it talks to, its seal job, and the earlier version still sold.
- HaywardHayward Super Pump VS 600Hayward's variable-speed Super Pump with OmniX built in: the priming run it does on its own, the button that overrides it, and what the LED flashes mean.
- HaywardHayward Super Pump VS 700Hayward's newest variable-speed Super Pump: a smaller pump on 115 V, the Pentair and Jandy controls it talks to, the seal job, and the right efficiency figure.
- HaywardHayward TriStar VSHayward's variable-speed pump in both sizes: what it gives up on 115 volts, the left-hand thread that snaps impeller screws, and dating one by serial number.
- HaywardHayward TriStar VS 800The TriStar in Hayward's OmniX 800 Series, in three sizes: the pumps it replaces, the riser bases that line it up with a WhisperFlo, and the left-hand screw.
- JandyJandy ePumpJandy's largest-body variable-speed pump in 2.7 and 3.8 HP: why the 3.8 isn't ENERGY STAR, the unions that grow, and the blue o-ring to throw away.
- JandyJandy VS FloProThe variable-speed pump that runs on 115 volts as well as 230: which sizes keep their full performance there, and what Jandy's own wire table says it costs.
- JandyJandy VS PlusHPJandy's 2.7 HP pump in the PlusHP body: what it gives up on 115 volts, relays that wait for 1,725 RPM, and the controller letters to check.
- PentairPentair IntelliFlo3 VSFBoth horsepower tiers, the parts that change between them, and why the identical pump is sold under two different names depending on who sells it to you.
- PentairPentair IntelliFloXF VSFPentair's variable speed and flow pump for large pools: how flow control works, the priming and thermal settings that trip people up, and the wet end it shares.
- PentairPentair SuperFlo VS and VSTPentair's own drop-in replacement for the Hayward Super Pump — which version you have, the two build dates that change the parts, and why the voltage matters.
- PentairPentair SuperMax VSThe SuperFlo VST in black, sold as a Sta-Rite: three efficiency ratings, a priming default worth changing, and new drive part numbers in the 2025 catalog.
- PentairPentair WhisperFlo VSTThe variable-speed WhisperFlo — three speeds, not eight, and a factory schedule that runs longer than the pump its savings are measured against.
Single-speed and two-speed pumps
- HaywardHayward PowerFlo LXHayward's long-running above-ground pump: the two sizes, why it has to sit below the water, what to replace an old one with, and how to change its seal.
- HaywardHayward PowerFlo MatrixHayward's above-ground pump: which of the four models to pick, why it isn't self-priming, the storable pools it isn't for, and how to change its seal.
- HaywardHayward Super PumpEvery Super Pump model and the parts that fit each — which four Hayward still lists, and the two-speed that is the most efficient of the lot.
- JandyJandy FloProThe Jandy single-speed line that lost its top half to the DOE rule, and the two-speed model that is the efficient one left.
- JandyJandy StealthJandy's single-speed pump, where the same machine is sold under two different horsepowers — and the parts list proves it.
- PentairPentair WhisperFloThe high-head pump in two generations — the WFE ladder people own, and the single DOE-compliant model that replaced all of it.
- PentairPentair WhisperFloXFDiscontinued residentially, still sold commercially — three service factors in one range, and an impeller chosen by the number, not the series.Discontinued
Cleaner booster pumps
- HaywardHayward Booster Pump 300Hayward's booster pump for pressure cleaners: the plumbing rules around heaters and solar, the timer offsets, and a manual written for its previous motor.
- PentairPentair Boost-RitePentair's other booster pump: five impeller stages against the LA01N's one, and the salt limit no rival publishes.
- PentairPentair LA01N booster pumpPentair's booster pump for pressure-side cleaners — why it is sold as ¾ HP and documented as 1.13, and the run-time offset that keeps it alive.
- PolarisPolaris PB4-60The booster pump a pressure-side cleaner cannot run without — the three ways to void its warranty in the first week, and the thirteen parts it is made of.
Compare pumps side by side
Pick two or three models. Every figure is the one on its product page, which links the manufacturer’s documents. Where a page gives a figure under its own label, such as design flow rather than maximum flow, that label is shown with it, and a figure the page gives for a whole range of models says so. Not sure what size you need? The sizing calculator works it out from your pool and pipes.
Pick two pumps to see them side by side. The table fills in as you choose.
