The only difference is the warranty the W3 prefix indicates that if the pump was purchased online through the internet then the pump comes with a manufacturer’s warranty. If you purchase the version without the W3 through the internet then the manufacturer does not supply a warranty.
How do I read my Hayward model number?
You can identify this part number by its distinct format (example, SP-1620-Z1). Beginning with ‘SP’ followed by four numbers, sometimes ending with a suffix of numbers and letters, is how Hayward identifies most of their products.
What is difference between Hayward Super pump and Max Flo?
The Super Pump has a larger strainer basket and larger see thru lid. The Max-Flo produces slightly higher flow rates than the Super Pump, and also comes with unions for easy pump removal. Both pumps sit at 7.75 inches off the ground, measured to the centerline of the incoming port.
How can I tell what model Hayward pool filter I have?
All pool filters are labeled with an information tag on their tank. This tag includes the name of the manufacturer, model name, the various sizes of the filter in that line of models. The size of your specific unit should be marked or highlighted on this tag.
What do the numbers on a pool pump mean?
The FR of the pump motor is generally one of four configurations (48Y, 56Y, 56J, 56C). The number “48” or “56” denotes diameter of the motor casing. The letter at the end tells you the shape of the connection, “Y” is square, or “C” and “J” that note a circle flange.
What information is on a motor nameplate?
The nameplate contains information about the construction characteristics and performance of the motor. The types of information that are shown include the number of phases, rated operating voltage, service duty, efficiency code, frame size, IP rating, insulation class and more.
What is a Type P motor?
A ‘p’ type motor is a motor specifically designed to support and accommodate the proper form of ‘p’ type protection, so it can safely operate in a given hazardous gas environment.
Which is better Pentair or Hayward?
Their filters are user-friendly and reliable. They clean well and overall are very well designed. If you ever have to make a decision from a price perspective, then hands down Hayward is the better choice. However, I personally prefer Pentair products because they have a nicer design and are easier to use.
What is the flow rate of a Hayward Super pump?
Hayward Super Pump 2HP (1.5kw) Single Phase Pump – SP1622XE251 Flow Rate 20m3 hour.
What size pump do I need for my pool?
Determine how many gallons you need to pump per hour to clean all the water in your pool in eight hours. Divide the gallons of water your pool holds (answer from step 1) by eight. Using the example number of gallons previously given, this equation would look as follows: 24,000 gallons ÷ 8 hours = 3,000.
What is a variable-speed pool pump?
Variable-speed pumps let you control the speed, whether low or high or anywhere in between. Most of these energy-efficient pumps are powered by a different type of motor than the first two, called a permanent magnet motor. This type of motor is used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and electric cars.
How many rpms pool pump?
Most pool pump motors operate at 240 volts and generate 3,450 rpm when running at full speed (based on standard U.S. electricity, which is 60hz). A variable-speed pump motor offers an operating range of 172 rpm to 3,450 rpm.
What should my Hayward salt chlorinator be set at?
between 2700-3400 ppm
The ideal salt level is between 2700-3400 ppm (parts per million) with 3200 ppm being optimal.
What percentage should my salt chlorinator be set at?
We suggest you start your salt chlorine generator at 50 percent output and run it for a couple of days, then check the chlorine level. In a balanced pool, a good chlorine level is 1-3 parts per million. If your chlorine levels are low, you can raise the percentage, and if it’s high you can lower the percentage.
What should my salt generator read?
Average salt reading (ASR)
This is a 24 hour average reading of salt measurement during ON cycles. 2700-3400 ppm is the idea recommended levels. However, the reading can go up to 4000 ppm before the Hi Salt light appears.
How do I know what size Hayward filter I need?
Almost all filters have their model number listed on the exterior label. Note that many DE Filters will have each available size listed with corresponding model number. Hopefully your installer marked your unit’s size on the label.
How do I know which pool filter I need?
The filter flow rate must be rated at least the same GPM as your pump, or higher. With pool filters, it’s best to err on the larger size so it can handle the power of your pump. A helpful rule of thumb is to choose a filter with at least 1 square foot per 10,000 gallons pool capacity.
How do I tell what year my Hayward pool pump is?
The product ID tag and serial number can tell you the month and year it was manufactured, and for the Aquarite/Goldline SWCG cells the length of the warranty.
The 6th -8th number will be the year & month Example:
- 402 = 2004, Feb.
- 405 = 2004, May.
- 501 = 2005, Jan.
- 502 = 2005, Feb.
What setting should my pool pump be on?
The lever should be on the ‘Filter’ setting most of the time. This is the setting that provides normal pool filtration by pushing the water through the filter media (sand, glass beads or D.E) that then traps any dirt and debris before the water is returned to the pool.
What setting should my pool pump be on to vacuum?
For routine vacuuming, the filter valve is left in the normal “Filter” position. This directs dirty vacuum water through the pool filter to remove the contaminants, then conveys filtered water through return lines back to the pool. The “Filter” setting is used for light to moderate levels of pool sediment.
What happens if pool filter pressure gets too high?
Since pressure pushes water through the filtration system, a higher pressure reading means that the system is having to work harder to get dirty water through the system. It can indicate blockages such as a dirty pool filter, lime deposits, or broken parts inside the filtration system.
