Hayward Tristar VS 900 Pump | 1.85HP | SP32900VSP

Hayward Tristar VS 900 Variable Speed Pump

The Hayward TriStar VS 900 (SP32900VSP) is a premium ENERGY STAR® rated variable-speed pool pump designed for homeowners seeking maximum energy savings without sacrificing performance. Its 1.85 total horsepower dual-voltage TEFC motor (115/230V) makes it ideal for replacing older pumps rated up to 1.5 full-rate or 2.0 max-rate HP. With leading Weighted Energy Factor scores of 12.9 at 115V and 8.3 at 230V, it can help reduce annual energy costs by as much as $1,500, depending on pool size, run time, and utility pricing.

• Easy Basket Maintenance: A rib-free debris basket with a see-through lid makes cleaning fast and hassle-free—no guesswork, no tools.
• Efficient, Quiet Motor Design: The enclosed, fan-cooled permanent magnet motor runs more efficiently and lasts longer than traditional options.
• High-Capacity Hydraulic Output: Optimized water flow delivers the power to replace pumps up to 1.5 HP full-rate or 2.0 HP max-rate models with ease.

• Mountable, Multi-Angle Control Panel: The included touchpad can be mounted to the wall and rotated four ways for comfortable access.
• Flexible Electrical Installation: Dual conduit entries at the rear and side support both high- and low-voltage hookups for streamlined setup.
• 30% Quieter at High Speed: Upgraded motor drive design significantly reduces sound at high speeds—ideal for noise-sensitive areas.

Durability and water-moving power are key strengths of the VS 900. It uses a Viton® chemical-resistant seal, precision hydraulic design, and strong flow dynamics to ensure consistent circulation in pools of varying designs. A clear lid and smooth, rib-free basket simplify cleaning by making debris removal easy. At higher speeds, the permanent magnet motor operates up to 30% quieter than similar models for a noticeably more comfortable backyard environment.

Its installation flexibility allows it to fit a variety of pad layouts. This model includes standard 2” x 2.5” CPVC unions, a choice of two pump bases, and conduit openings on both the side and rear to accommodate low- or high-voltage setups. The top-mounted wiring option further speeds up the retrofit process, whether replacing a Hayward or other brand pump.

Top-Tier Efficiency That Saves: The TriStar® VS 900 is part of Hayward’s ultra-efficient pump lineup, offering ENERGY STAR® certified performance that can cut energy costs by up to $1,500 annually. Bonus: online shoppers may qualify for local utility rebates.

Rugged & Long-Lasting Design: Engineered with a corrosion-resistant Viton® seal and backed by a 3-year warranty, this pump is built to last. Its durable build resists harsh pool chemicals for worry-free operation season after season.

Upgrade Made Easy: Whether you’re upgrading or installing new, the TriStar VS 900 fits in easily thanks to its 2" x 2.5" union connections, adjustable pump base, and convenient top-mounted wiring access—making retrofits a breeze.
