This model has plenty of power. I replaced an old 1 hp single speed with this model. The savings has been amazing. I let the pump run 24/7 at 600 rpm. It cycles my 12500 gallon pool 1.25 times a day and cost me only $15 a month. I am saving about $900 dollars a year with this pump. It will easily pay for itself within a year. Not sure what state, county or city you are in but check with all 3. My electric company was offering a $100 rebate for installing a variable speed pump that was on the list. This model qualified.

I replaced my 1/2 HP pump with this one and it works great. I live in AZ also, this is good because you can change how long it stays at certain RPMs for longer so during monsoon you can up the pool vac a bit to get all that dust from the haboobs!

I live in Palm Springs Ca, and replaced my 1.5 hp pump with a sp2300vsp and am very happy with it. Runs my pool vac even on a lower rpm ( 1700) saves money on my electric bill also

I wish I could answer your question, but I am using my unit on a 1 3/4 hp pump for a 10,000 gallon in ground pool. The only issue I have is that the hose gets heavy wit the water and the cleaner does not make it all the way around my pool.

It depends on the draw of the pump. If the pump does not draw more than the 6 or 15 amps (depending on the model you purchase) then you should be good.

That is the exact pump we have and we use it. You may have to get attachment tubes that match fittings, ours fit without extra tubing. We also have a solar water panel that runs with it. No issues with any of it.

I use the haywward 3/4 hp booster pump for a polaris 280 vacuum.Works great! The only problem I had was finding the correct plumbing diagram. Once I got that piece of cake to install

The Sta-Rite you mention is a 1 HP unit, which is one of the models offered for this swim time pump, should be pretty close. I looked the sta rite unit up on the internet and it seems like the fittings and all are the same. I ordered the 1.5 hp unit. Once I turned the housing to make it a side-discharge, it attached to my ancient cartridge filter unit in 90 seconds and it creates a noticable current in my 24 ft/54 inch pool in about an hour. Hope that helped!

Yes it should. What horsepower is your current pump? I replaced a 1hp pump and my pool is about 30,000 gal.

I was going to up grade to a 2hp and the shop said no way! So I stayed with a 1hp pump. I have about the same size pool! Running a waterfall and skimmer 1.5" PVC wide open and does a perfect job. Did your old pump do the job? You would probably be ok, but remember more pressure gives the chance for ur canister to fail! Catch 22! Hope that helps.

It depends on the size of the wire and the cord. It should work. That size pump should have a #10 or #12 size wire and it must be grounded. There is not that much difference between 1/3 HP and 1/2 HP power requirements. It would be best to ask the manufacturer of your pump to be sure. Good luck!

I'm not sure what size hose connections your old pump has and as far as horse power, the replacement pump is 1/2 the horse power as your old pump. and the replacement pump can be switched to 1/2 of that. So based on the horse power rating, it may not be the best suitable replacement. the way i found mine, was to do a search with the name and horse power of the old puimp and then started going down the search list until i found one that was as close to mine and a price that was was reasonable. prices can vary greatly so be careful.

I'm wondering if you ever found out if this will replace the Hayward SP1607Z1M? We need to replace this same motor. If not what did you end up getting?

This pump has 4 speeds and will do a great job with what you are trying to accomplish. Depending on your pool's capacity and filter type, you will probably be able to run it normally at the second speed and then use the 3rd or 4th speed for when you run your rover. Since you are replacing a 1 HP with a 3 HP VFD, you will see a measurable difference.

Old pump was 2 hp and 3200 watts; new pump dialed down to 1450 watts or estimate 1 hp. Saves about $90/m at 8 hrs/day and $.33/kw in southern cal.

It should but I would find out the starting surge wattage of your pump first. I know a 1.5HP starting needs about 6000+ starting wattage which is too much for this as it's only a 4400 starting and 3400 running. However, if yours is only a 1/2HP, you might be okay. Check it out first.

I don't have the mercruiser number in front of me but I replaced the pump on my 7.4(310 hp) with this one and so far so good. When I was shopping for the replacement I did the research to verify that it was the right replacement. My engine is a 1998 vintage. Hope this helps.

Not sure. I would, as I did with the unit I bought was to Google search through Hayward for the compatible parts. Hope that helped.

I dont know. I actually could not find a reference to a Hayward SP15 pump via Google. Are you sure you have the model number correct? I used the kit on an older (more than 10 yrs old) Hayward Super Pump SP26xx series.
