| What’s Special: It’s no surprise that the variable speed version of this ever-popular pump would make the cut. The Super Pump has a long standing reputation for reliability and this model offers the added bonus of variable speeds with an integrated user interface. | What’s Special: Available in two models, one with a built-in programmable clock and another that integrates directly with ProLogic controllers. The clock offers up to 8 custom timer settings. Includes an alternate pump base that will properly align the TriStar to replace a Pentair WhisperFlo. | What’s Special: At 2.7 HP, the EcoStar offers more power than other Hayward VS pumps. Ideal for pool/spa combinations or the greater demands of water features. The SVRS model includes a safety vacuum release system. Digital interface with 24-hr timer can be rotated or completely removed from the pump for wall mounting. | What’s Special: Multiple control options, as one would expect from the makers of the Aqualink. Has a built-in 2-speed timer and display, or can be tied into Jandy’s Aqualink RS and PDA systems. A third option is the e-Pump Controller remote control with a range of 200 feet. The e-Pump also accommodates larger pipe sizes. |

This outperforms other pumps in all categories. Easy to install and program. | Customer Quote: I have personally installed some of these pumps in southern CA and they are excellent. Every install saves $55 – $105 a month. Pump is almost silent. |
