The Hayward Super Pump VS Variable-Speed Pump (W3SP2603VSP) brings variable-speed efficiency and dependable circulation to in-ground pools, pairing a TEFC motor with fully programmable speed control for efficient, reliable operation.
IMPORTANT: DUAL-VOLTAGE CONFIGURATION
This pump is rated 230/115V at 60 Hz. Voltage at the pump must be within +/-10% of the motor nameplate rating — confirm wiring with a qualified electrician.
Unique Features & Technology
-
Heavy-duty, high-performance motor designed for efficient, reliable operation.
-
Fully programmable control with a self-contained 24-hour clock and up to 8 custom speed/timer functions with day-of-week scheduling, plus a digital display that shows live power consumption in watts and selectable RPM or % of full-speed readouts.
-
Adjustable speed range of 600–3450 RPM, with four default preset speeds (1150, 1725, 2300, and 2875 RPM) that are each independently adjustable to match circulation, cleaning, or heating needs.
-
Hand knob sets (SPX1600PN) on the strainer cover allow tool-free, hand-tighten removal.
- Includes a strainer basket (SPX1600M) housed under a strainer cover (SPX1600D) with cover gasket (SPX1600S) for easy access.
- Motor drive includes built-in protection against high temperatures and voltage fluctuations and is built to withstand below-freezing conditions.
- Hayward notes this variable-speed platform is designed to help lower pump energy use versus running a pump at a single fixed speed; refer to the WEF and DOE ratings below for this model's certified efficiency standing.

Pool Size & Application
Suited for new construction, renovation, and aftermarket installations on in-ground pools, the Super Pump VS is built to serve as the primary circulation pump, with speed programmability to match output to filtration, spa jets, or cleaning cycles as needed.
System Integration
The Super Pump VS is compatible with Hayward automation systems including OmniLogic, ProLogic, ECommand 4, OnCommand, OmniHub, S3 Omni, and OmniPL. Its digital control interface rotates to four positions on the pump itself, or can be relocated up to 500 ft away using the optional wall-mount kit. For non-Hayward automation, the pump also accepts third-party relay control to select from up to 8 programmed speeds.
Poolaroo Pro Tip
Set your lowest usable speed as the default "filtration" preset and reserve the higher presets for spa jets or pressure-side cleaning — running the Super Pump VS at its lowest effective RPM for daily turnover is the single biggest lever you have over its programmable speed range. Also keep an eye on the strainer cover: periodic visual checks let you clean debris before flow is restricted, without needing tools to remove the hand-knob cover.
