Hayward MaxFlo VS Variable Speed Pump
Hayward MaxFlo VS Variable Speed Pump
## Hayward MaxFlo VS Variable Speed Inground Pool Pump (1.5 HP)
Take the first step toward premium energy efficiency with the Hayward MaxFlo VS. Engineered as the ultimate "right-sized" upgrade for small-to-medium inground pools, this **1.5 HP variable speed pump** delivers up to **80% energy cost savings** over oversized, traditional single-speed alternatives. While many variable speed models on the market are needlessly oversized for standard pools, the MaxFlo VS is hydraulically optimized for 1.5-inch and 2-inch plumbing systems, ensuring a significantly faster return on your investment.
Equipped with an advanced permanent magnet motor and full **pool automation compatibility**, the MaxFlo VS outperforms the legacy Super Pump VS series by offering superior control, smoother integration, and bundled quick-connect plumbing unions—all at a more affordable price point.
### MaxFlo VS vs. Super Pump VS: The Smart Advantage
* **Bundled Quick-Connect Unions:** Ships complete with 1.5" / 2" union slips for seamless, tool-free plumbing alignment (Super Pump VS does not include unions).
* **Automation System Compatible:** Fully ready to pair with external pool automation control panels for centralized scheduling (Super Pump VS operates strictly standalone).
* **Intelligent Footprint:** Features a slightly taller design for easier basket access while maintaining the exact same connection centerline heights as standard medium-head pumps for effortless retrofitting.
### Advanced Mechanical & Digital Features
* **Real-Time Power Feedback:** The intuitive, integrated digital control pad displays instant wattage consumption data, allowing you to fine-tune operational speeds for maximum daily savings.
* **Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) Reliability:** Driven by an industrial-grade TEFC permanent magnet motor that runs cooler, seals out ambient moisture, and ensures exceptionally quiet performance.
* **Fully Programmable Timers:** Tailor specific run speeds, priming durations, and customized multi-tier schedules to effortlessly meet strict efficiency standards like California Title 20 and APSP-15.
* **ENERGY STAR® Certified Partner:** Officially certified to lower regional grid strain, qualifying homeowners for localized utility company energy-efficiency rebates where available.
* **Integrated Safety Controls:** Features an onboard mechanical On/Off toggle switch for quick equipment pad servicing and clear-view lid with a **4.1" x 7.6" debris basket** for rapid visual checks.

### 📊 Calculate Your Financial Return
Running this 1.5 HP permanent magnet motor at lower, optimized RPMs drops your power consumption exponentially due to the affinity laws of fluid dynamics. This massive drop in energy means the MaxFlo VS can entirely pay for itself within just one or two pool seasons.

### ⚠️ Installation & Strict Factory Warranty Guidelines
* **Factory Warranty Policy:** Backed by a 1-Year Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty covering factory replacement parts only, issued at the manufacturer's discretion.
* **Licensed Installation Mandate:** To validate and preserve active warranty protections, this high-voltage 230V mechanical system 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 process any future factory parts claims.
* **Application Boundary:** The unit must be strictly paired with a functional swimming pool or spa circulation loop; improper horizontal dry-running or unvented configurations instantly voids all coverages.
