Hayward SP32950VSP Tristar VS 950 Pump | 2.7HP

Hayward Tristar VS 950 Variable Speed Pump

The Hayward TriStar VS 950 (model SP32950VSP) is built to deliver exceptional hydraulic performance, maximum energy efficiency, and versatile retrofit capability. Featuring a 2.7 total horsepower dual-voltage permanent magnet motor (115V/230V), it provides strong flow rates while significantly cutting energy use. With a Weighted Energy Factor (WEF) of 10.1 at 115V and 7.3 at 230V, this ENERGY STAR® rated pump can help pool owners save as much as $1,500 per year in electricity, making it among the most efficient pumps in its category.

• Hassle-Free Basket Access: Ribless design with a see-through lid allows quick visibility and removal of trapped debris.
• Reduced Operational Noise: Upgraded drive cuts down high-speed noise levels by 30%, making your pool quieter.
• Hydraulic Power Meets Efficiency: Engineered for superior flow, this unit can match or exceed the output of pumps up to 3 HP.

• Versatile Control Pad Mounting: Touchpad mounts to the wall and rotates in four directions for optimal positioning.
• Simplified Electrical Setup: Multiple conduit access points at the back and side ease the wiring process.
• Advanced Motor Design: Permanent magnet motor with a TEFC build offers long-term efficiency and reliability.

Engineered for easy compatibility with existing or brand-new pool systems, the VS 950 comes equipped with 2” x 2.5” CPVC unions, dual mounting base options, and conduit ports on both the side and rear to support either high- or low-voltage configurations. Its dual-voltage capability means no need for expensive rewiring, offering a seamless solution for both new builds and upgrades—especially where electrical updates would otherwise be required for higher-horsepower models.

Performance drives the TriStar VS 950’s design. Its efficient hydraulic architecture produces strong circulation, making it an excellent replacement for older high-output pumps up to 3.0 HP. The strainer basket, designed without ribs and covered by a clear lid, allows for quick, effortless debris removal. Internally, a chemical-resistant Viton® seal guards against corrosion and wear, promoting longer-lasting operation even in chemically treated pool environments.

Save Big with Advanced Energy Efficiency

The TriStar® VS 950 is part of the most energy-efficient variable-speed pump family on the market, helping homeowners save as much as $1,500 annually on electricity. Its ENERGY STAR label also makes it eligible for many local rebate offers.

Tough on Corrosion, Gentle on Maintenance

With a premium Viton® seal designed to withstand harsh pool chemicals, the TriStar VS 950 is made for endurance. It also includes a 3-year warranty to ensure continued performance through every season.

Retrofit-Ready Versatility
