Great Pump
By Ron_S on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2012
I recently purchased a home with a pool, and the system that was in place barely worked at all. It used a sand filter paired with an undersized pump, and the only thing it did well was spin my electric meter. I had a pool installed at my previous house several years ago, and the builder used this Hayward pump and a C-4030 cartridge filter. These worked perfectly and never gave me a lick of trouble, so I opted to put the same system in here. I removed the old parts and installed this pump, a cartridge filter, new timer and in-floor cleaning heads, and the results were night-and-day. The pool went from cloudy green to crystal clear in 2 days, and my electric bill dropped $10 per month. I'm running it 4 hours/day right now as it is winter, but will bump it to 6 hours come about April. The pump is quiet, very powerful, and I've had no issues with the strainer lid, vibration, or anything else. If my previous experience is any indication I expect this unit to work well for many years. I love Hayward products.

Decades of Experience with Hayward pumps and poor quality
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020
When I was a teenager in the '80's I took care of our pool. I remember taking many a Hayward Pump to have motor rebuilt throughout the years. I thought nothing of every couple of years going through this process. When my parents built their new house circa 2000, of course Haywards were installed for the water sheers and the filter. As of a couple of months ago, I had two that were fried and just sitting there since the small engine company went out of business years ago. So after this last one died, I thought I'll get another Hayward from Amazon since it's all measured and plumbed for the Super II. My sister and I spent a lot of time installing. Didn't work. Ended up calling an electrician, then a pool company. The unit was defective. So returned and we re-plumbed for a Pentair (spent hours again, BTW). There were some manufacturing defect issues with the Pentair pump and the Amazon seller was going to help us, but it works and so incredibly QUIET. So I decided I just couldn't muster spending anymore time installing another pump this year. BOTTOM LINE: Take it from someone with DECADES of experience with Hayward pumps, go with another pump manufacture. And if Hayward has issues with this, I have a graveyard of pumps they can have back. To their credit every other Hayward item seems to be of quality and last for years.
