Types of pool pumps offered by Hayward

Hayward is one of the leading manufacturers of pool pumps. There are two broad categories of pool pumps that they have:

  • Inground pool pumps
    They are usually large in size as they are made to handle huge volumes of water at higher flow rates. Most inground pumps are usually located 2-3 feet above the water level, which means that they should be capable of lifting water vertically.

They have a flow rate of 75-150 gallons per minute. They are more expensive than aboveground pool pumps.
  • Aboveground pool pumps
    This type of Hayward pool pump is situated below water level and as such, makes use of gravity and atmospheric pressure to suck in water. Being immersed in water, the aboveground pool pump does not require a lot of suction or vacuum. They are designed to produce flow rates of 30-60 gpm.
  • Ideally, a pool pump should turn over the water in your pool every 8-10 hours. Buying the right size of Hayward pool pump determines the efficiency and life of your equipment and also saves energy. In addition, the pump flow rate must match filter flow rates – if the water is moving too fast through the filter, filtration suffers and the filter media can be damaged.

    A Hayward pool pump comes in three speeds:

    • Single speed
    • Double speed
    • Variable speed

    The motor of a single speed pool pump spins the impeller at only one speed according to the horsepower of the motor. They consume more power than double speed and variable speed pool pumps, which can be run at two or variable speeds as the name indicates.

    Hayward pool pumps come in both designs of filter mounting house and are available from 90 to 220 volt and above. Make sure you select the wattage and horsepower according to the specs of your pool. One of the recommended models of Hayward pool pump is the Hayward SP1580X15. It is equipped with power, quality, and a long battery life. In addition, it is energy saving, and 100% drip proof.
