The Hayward TriStar VS 1.85 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump is an energy-efficient in-ground pool pump designed to help reduce operating costs while providing reliable circulation performance. Built with a permanent magnet totally enclosed fan cooled motor, the TriStar VS is engineered for quiet operation, long-term durability, and improved efficiency compared with traditional single-speed pool pumps.

This variable speed pump features fully programmable touch-pad control, allowing users to set pump speeds and schedules for filtration, cleaning, heating, water features, or energy-saving circulation. The control interface can be rotated or mounted for easier access, and the pump can operate independently, with Hayward automation, or with compatible third-party systems through relay control.

The TriStar VS 1.85 is designed for medium to large in-ground pools and includes an extra-large strainer basket to help extend time between cleanings. It is a strong upgrade option for customers replacing older high-performance single-speed pumps with a more efficient variable speed pump.

According to EPA ENERGY STAR® 3rd party test data, Hayward TriStar® VS variable speed pool pumps are the most energy efficient on the market. Designed for medium to large pools, they can save up to 90% on energy costs or as much as $1500 per year, compared with single speed pool pumps.

Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended. Verify voltage, wiring, plumbing size, equipment pad clearance, and automation requirements before installation. Install the pump on a level, solid equipment pad with adequate ventilation and service access. Follow the Hayward installation manual for electrical bonding, wiring, priming, plumbing, programming, and startup procedures. Electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local codes and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Usage / Safety Information

Usage Instructions: 1. Confirm the pump is installed, bonded, wired, and plumbed according to the Hayward installation manual. 2. Confirm the pump strainer basket is clean and properly seated. 3. Fill the pump strainer housing with water before startup if priming is required. 4. Secure the pump lid and confirm the pump system is ready for operation. 5. Turn power on only after installation and startup checks are complete. 6. Use the pump control interface to set the desired pump speed and schedule. 7. Program lower speeds for normal filtration when possible to improve energy efficiency. 8. Use higher speeds only when needed for priming, heating, cleaning, spa operation, or water features. 9. Monitor flow, filter pressure, and pool performance after programming. 10. Clean the strainer basket regularly to maintain proper flow. 11. Review and adjust the pump schedule seasonally as pool usage, water temperature, and filtration needs change. Safety Information: Read and follow all Hayward installation and operation instructions before installing or operating this pump. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified professional. Turn off power at the breaker before servicing the pump. Relieve system pressure before opening the pump lid, filter, valves, or any pressurized pool equipment. Do not operate the pump without water. Do not operate the pump with the lid removed or loose. Keep hands, hair, clothing, and tools away from moving parts. Do not allow children to operate or service pool equipment. Verify bonding and grounding requirements before operation. Use only compatible replacement parts. This product may be subject to California Proposition 65 warning requirements. Important Notes: Verify voltage requirements before installation. Fresh Pool Supply currently lists this item as 230V, while Hayward’s current official specification lists 115/230V. Confirm the correct voltage configuration before publishing or installing. Verify plumbing connection size before replacing an existing pump. Actual flow rate depends on total dynamic head, plumbing layout, filter condition, valve position, and connected pool equipment. Pump programming should be matched to the pool system, filter requirements, heater requirements, cleaner requirements, and water feature needs.
