Hayward TriStar Variable Speed Energy Efficient Inground Pump
Hayward TriStar Variable Speed Energy Efficient Inground Pump
## Hayward TriStar VS Variable Speed Inground Pool Pump (1.85 HP)
The Hayward TriStar VS 1.85 HP stands as the gold standard in high-performance, energy-efficient pool circulation. Specifically engineered to replace standard full-rate high-performance pumps (up to 1.5 full-rate or 2.0 max-rate HP) installed today, this versatile unit delivers an immediate, rapid return on investment. According to independent EPA ENERGY STAR® third-party testing data, the TriStar VS platform ranks as the most energy-efficient pump family on the market—allowing pool owners to slash operational electricity costs by up to 90%.
Driven by an advanced integrated variable-speed drive paired with a premium Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) permanent magnet motor, it provides ultra-quiet, industrial-grade reliability while cutting average utility bills by up to $1,500 annually compared to traditional single-speed units.
### Advanced Engineering & Installation Flexibility
* **Rotatable / Wall-Mountable Digital Interface:** Features a fully programmable digital control pad that can be unbolted and rotated into four distinct positions on the pump, or completely removed and wall-mounted for effortless eye-level access and convenience.
* **Heavy-Duty TEFC Reliability:** The industrial-grade, permanent magnet, Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) motor runs cooler and resists environmental debris infiltration, ensuring long-term mechanical resilience.
* **No-Rib Extra-Large Strainer Basket:** Outfitted with an expansive debris chamber measuring 9.5"L x 6"W x 6"D. The smooth, no-rib interior design ensures effortless leaf and waste clearing while extending the active runtime between cleanings.

### ⚠️ Installation & Strict Factory Warranty Guidelines
* **Professional Mandate:** Backed by a 1-Year Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty covering factory replacement parts only, evaluated at the manufacturer's discretion.
* **Warranty Integrity:** To preserve active warranty protections, this 230V high-performance variable speed pump must be anchored, wired, and plumbed exclusively by a **certified, licensed pool technician or professional electrician**. Proof of professional, licensed installation is strictly mandatory to validate any future factory parts claims.
* **Application Boundary:** The unit must be strictly paired with a functional swimming pool or spa circulation loop; improper dry-running, unvented configurations, or installation on soft-sided pools (e.g., Intex, Coleman, Bestway) instantly voids all coverages.
