Hayward Tristar VS 950 Variable Speed Pump

The Hayward TriStar VS 950 (SP32950VSP) is optimized for high-efficiency performance, powerful flow, and adaptable installation. Its 2.7 total horsepower permanent magnet motor supports both 115V and 230V connections, delivering excellent circulation while minimizing electricity use. With WEF ratings of 10.1 (115V) and 7.3 (230V), this ENERGY STAR® listed model can lower utility bills by as much as $1,500 per year, making it one of the most cost-effective pumps in the high-performance category.

Easy-Clean Basket with Clear Lid: The no-rib strainer basket and see-through cover make it simple to check for leaves and debris—no need to open unless necessary.

Whisper-Quiet High-Speed Mode: Precision motor enhancements reduce noise by up to 30%, creating a more peaceful backyard environment.

High-Output Hydraulic Design: Delivers powerful flow performance suitable for replacing pumps up to 3 HP, with improved energy efficiency.

Adjustable Wall Controller: Mountable touchpad rotates in four directions for flexible access and convenient operation.

Universal Voltage Access: Rear and side conduit entries support both low and high voltage setups, simplifying the installation process.

Long-Life Motor Engineering: The permanent magnet motor in a sealed TEFC enclosure offers exceptional efficiency and reliability year after year.

This model is designed for seamless fitment in both new and existing setups. It comes with 2” x 2.5” CPVC unions, two pump base styles, and both side and rear conduit ports for easy wiring. Unlike other large horsepower pumps that often require electrical modifications, the dual-voltage setup allows for straightforward retrofitting without upgrading the breaker or panel.

The VS 950’s hydraulic engineering delivers strong, consistent water movement and easily matches the output of traditional 3.0 HP pumps. The strainer basket has no internal ribs and includes a clear cover for easy visibility, allowing fast and clean debris removal. A Viton® seal provides strong chemical resistance, helping to extend operational life even under tough water chemistry conditions.

Its TEFC motor design ensures smooth, quiet running during all programmed speeds. The digital control pad can be rotated or mounted on a wall, giving users flexible access to programming and monitoring. You can set custom speeds, adjust runtime schedules, and track energy usage in real time. It can run on its own or connect to Hayward’s automation platforms for smart system integration.

Supported by a 3-year extended warranty, the Hayward TriStar VS 950 provides long-term performance, top-tier energy savings, and installation versatility for large pools or setups with high-flow demands.
