Replacing the old pump was simple. I really didn’t understand why it is worth the cost or how it runs so quietly and does the job until I saw how effective and efficient it is. The old pump ran flat out all the time while this one keeps the pool clear and clean at half the speed and energy consumption. The control panel is exceptional — large, attractive easy to read. It can be turned in any of four directions and it can be removed and wall hung. They really put a lot of thought into the design. I find this kind of UI — (+-) confusing and I still can’t figure out the timer. Fortunately the presets work fine. But changing the speed and function on the fly is just a matter of pressing a button. “Quick Clean” runs the vacuum and skimmer for an hour at top speed. Review: Easy to do - I installed it myself runs nice quiet. My other Hayward pump lasted 11 years ## Features - The Hayward MaxFlo VS Variable-Speed 1.65 HP, 230V Pool Pump is the most efficient pump of its kind, according to EPA ENERGY STAR third-party testing, and maybe eligible for local utility rebates - Can save up to 80% on energy costs, paying for itself faster than larger, more expensive models - Permanent magnet, totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor delivers maximum energy efficiency and reliability - Simple drop-in upgrade that can operate in standalone mode or connect to any automation system (either directly or with relays) - Advanced hydraulic design offers incredibly quiet operation compared to single-speed pumps, especially at lower speeds - Power source type: Corded Electric ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SV9C7M4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #135,200 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #212 in Pool Pump Replacement Parts & Accessories | | Brand | Hayward | | Brand Name | Hayward | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 299 Reviews | | Flow Rate | 75 Gallons Per Minute | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00610377388016 | | Included Components | Filter | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 23.8"L x 9.69"W x 11.6"H | | Item Type Name | Pool Pump | | Item Weight | 45 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Hayward | | Manufacturer Part Number | W3SP2303VSP | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | W3SP2303VSP | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 23.8"L x 9.69"W x 11.6"H | | Product Style | W3SP2303VSP | | Style | W3SP2303VSP | | UPC | 610377388016 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Ounce | | Voltage | 230 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hayward - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Plastic - **Style:** W3SP2303VSP - **Product Dimensions:** 27.8"L x 11.9"W x 15.9"H - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Item Weight:** 45 Pounds - **Maximum Flow Rate:** 160 Gallons Per Minute - **Voltage:** 230 Volts - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00610377388016 ## Images ![W3SP2303VSP MaxFlo VS Variable-Speed In Ground Pool Pump, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61q4MDXmluL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Pump now not turning off via timer, it wants to run 24x7. Time is correct, time settings correct, no other timer is active? What gives?** A: I had the same issue with this pump as the instructions provided were not as clear to me. Once you setup the clock; the timer needs to be set per time zone. Yiu will need to disable the time zones you are not using and once you set the running time then you need to save it by pressing the + button. **Q: I need to replace my current hayward w3sp3202vsp, is this model compatible?** A: I think the difference between your existing pump and this model is the piping size and therefore the volute (the chamber with the impeller). Specs for your model list the unions as 2” X 2.5”, whereas the 3206 connects 1.5” X 2”. The main difference being in the rate of flow between the two models.I think it all comes down to the size of your pool. **Q: Does anyone know the nameplate amperage on the 230-volt 1.65 HP Model?** A: The nameplate on my Maxflo vs 500 variable-speed pump (230v, 1.65hp) states amperage to be 0.4 to 10.0. **Q: Is this a drop in replacement for the Hayward Northstar Older single speed pumps?** A: I had to raise this new pump about an inch to line up with the plumbing on my old 1.5 hp Northstar. This is a far superior pump to the single speed BTW. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great investment *by V***I on May 17, 2026* I love this pump. Replacing the old pump was simple.

My other Hayward pump lasted 11 years ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pump, instructions are lacking *by T***N on March 26, 2023* My noisy 1.24hp Jandy pump finally burned out, replaced it with this maxflo VS. I upgraded my filter at the same time, so it took a weekend to do the install and electrical. The suction is powerful, it runs my Polaris Atlas XT great even on low speed setting which is virtually silent. I did a wall mount without the optional wall mount kit. Here are my tips for a successful install: 1. Apply ptfe lubricant on the union orings to prevent leaks 2. When doing a wall mount without the optional kit, take detailed notes/pictures of the wire connections BEFORE replacing the 6 inch wire between the pump and display and reinstalling the 4 wire connectors (I used cat5 wire and an inexpensive weatherproof box) 3. For some reason my pump came the dip switch set to 1 and 2 positions on.. ONLY the 1 position should be on, all others off if you want the display to work properly ## Frequently Bought Together - Hayward W3SP2303VSP MaxFlo VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump, Black - Hayward W3S244T ProSeries Sand Filter, 24-Inch, Top-Mount - Hayward CL200 In-line Automatic Chemical Feeder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/148183384-w3sp2303vsp-maxflo-vs-variable-speed-in-ground-pool-pump-black](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/148183384-w3sp2303vsp-maxflo-vs-variable-speed-in-ground-pool-pump-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
