HaywardW3SP2307X10 MaxFlo XL Pool Pump, 1 HP

The new pump replaced an older digital control Hayward pump. The connections were the same, so all I had to do was shim it up 1/2” with vibration pads from Amazon, and wire it up. Programming was easy, after reading the directions, and it works really well. Also, I saved a lot of money not having to buy a direct replacement.

The media could not be loaded. Our last Hayward pump died during hurricane flooding so we were eager to replace it ourselves and ease of install was very important. We went from a single speed pump to this variable speed pump and found:- 10 minute install from our last Hayward pump- Simple variable speed settings (this is not programmable from a phone or tablet, so keep that in mind upon purchase)- Very quite (more than our last one, which our neighbors appreciate)I would recommend this if you are looking for a lower priced variable speed pump that is easy to install!

Great pump. Will buy another one in 5-8 years.

This pump has plenty of power and is really quiet. Very nice.

My 7 yr old Jandy croaked so I ordered this online to get it put in quickly. My pool guy connected it after removing the old one. Took him about an hour. Works great. Very impressive. My pool is very deep and has over 30,000 gallons. It is staying really clean. Well worth it. I do occasionally have to check to see if it is running because it is so quiet! lol. I have it set on the energy efficient 3 levels of power setting most of the time. Easy to program with only one button with instructions - so hold on to those.

This was a perfect fit and worked great until it didn’t. It just stopped working after 5 months and that is with 1 1/2 months of not using it because of vacation and weather.. i can’t return because it’s past the 30 days.. my only hope is the manufacturer warranty but I don’t know how that’s going to go. I’m guessing it won’t go well.. i will give an update if it does. I just contacted the seller and waiting for response but I don’t think it’s going to solve anything.. $$$

Electrical diagram on the motor itself was very clear. Enclosed leaflet less so. Of course, the couplings were different from the original pump - so PVC gluing was involved (I'm convinced the pump manufacturers conspire to ensure we never have matching couplings). A big plus for the coupling seals - my alignment wasn't good and I expected leaks - but it went together well, without leaks. Filled basket with water, and pump primed itself within 5 seconds (25ft inlet, pump 3ft above water level). HOWEVER, this pump will NOT run my Zodiac pool cleaner - it just cavitates forever, and the flow at the pool outlet is noticeably less than my old MaxFlow 1hp pump. But I'm going to keep it now that it's installed.

It did not take me, an average DIYer, long to install this pump, and it has been running great for several months. I saved at least $2k doing the installation myself. Plus, I was able to upgrade my mount, electrical, and plumbing.
