Review: I NEVER Leave Reviews > If you're on the fence > READ - As per the headline/subject-line, I could give a s*** about leaving ANY reviews on anything I buy here - BUT, this one actually deserves it. ----- My pool is approx 35k gallons, 7.5 feet on the deep end - it's not small by any means. Original pump failed, was a HAYWARD 1.5HP. Looked at replacements locally and online, which start between $349.99/649.99 and up from there. ----- At the time, this thing was on sale for $192.59 total with same-day shipping - so I took a shot. That was in April 2024. It's now October 2024 and it's working like a champ. ----- Since the purchase, I've had moments at least (3) separate instances where the pool has turned swamp-green with a nice coat of algae on the floor due to a bad salt cell, amongst other factors (travel, self inflicted negligence). It's important to note because for me to clean up the mess, I've had the pump run for 3-4 days at a time non-stop. ----- This thing works just as well as the HAYWARD I had. Zero issues. ----- The only thing I'll speak on (only issue I had - which happened once), would be the interior "cage" which protects the impeller -- see image attachment. I had a ton of debris and small leaves that worked their way through the "cage" and jammed the impeller. Not a fault of the pump - my pool was unbelievably dirty. This is not exclusive to this pump BTW, it happens to all of them, specially after a series of big parties and extended use where hair builds up and passes through. Anyway, the cage made it difficult for, actually impossible for me to remove/access the debris on the impeller with my fingers. As a result, the pump doesn't prime and puts out a large "out-of-norm" humming noise. If this happens to you, take some "Dental Hook Probes" and work them through the plastic grid to remove the debris. ----- After that hiccup, it primed instantly and has been working perfectly since. ----- For the money and delivery time-frame, hard to beat this. ----- I can't speak on the longevity of it YET, but if you're in a pinch time-wise and money is tight...this will get the job done. ----- As a final note, I had to rework my original plumbing to get the fittings/pump to hook up. This is not exactly plug-n-play out-of-the-box...but then again...NO NEW PUMP IS. The benefit of hooking up the included fittings is that it makes the pump an easy twist-on/twist-off install and removal. MEANING...IF THIS PUMP GOES BAD - AND YOU BUY THE SAME ONE - you can pop-it in...in minutes. ----- If this goes bad at any point, best believe I'm buying it again - hands down. Hope it helps.
Review: Good value - Easy installation, no issues with the first time start up, and self priming. So far the pump is quiet and is working great.

### ⭐ It wasn’t as easy as the advertisement and I’m out $200
*by R***Y on July 16, 2025*

Ok changing gears on this pool pump mystery. I’ve been up most the night pondering over this and this morning. I should have gone with my first choice which was to fix the leak. The kit is like $24.95. But instead I thought it would just be easier to purchase a new one and just put the wires in. That turned out to be wrong it wasn’t an easy fix and now I’m going on two weeks and the pool is turning black which will take me another two weeks to get it right again having to clean the filter and vacuum the pool several times. I don’t have much time left here I have to be moved out completely by august 10th which is 26 days. I have to hire movers I have to empty all this heavy stuff out of the house and I have to locate a place somewhere on this continent that I can afford and then live out the rest of my life. None of this is your fault I’m just venting. So I took apart the pool pump from the skimmer and the gaskets are worn and the little seal needs to be replaced to stop the leaking. So I’m going to drop it off at the pool shop in hopes they can fix the seal and plug in the wires from the unit into the switch for 230. All I need you to do is to put all the electrical back to how is was originally so that all I have to do when I get the pump back is screw in the blue and white wire to the switch and turn it on. There are 6 equip running off the breaker. Pump 1, pump 2, blower, heater, timer, sprinkler. Hopefully I can get it back today but probably tomorrow or Friday most likely the way my luck has been going. Again no fault of yours or Teo I take full responsibility for the choices I make. So if you can help me put all the electrical back to how it was prior that would be great. I only disconnected 2 wires initially from the electrical cable to remove the old pump and now I have this huge issue. I’ll just chalk up the loss as a complete stupid decision on my part. It’s not the first time. I’m running out of time and now I’m in a panic to get this pool cleaned. I wanted to enjoy my last few days here at the house I was born in and swimming in the pool is a huge part of my life here. I’ll text you and keep you posted as to when I’ll get the pump back but if you could return the wiring back to pre-op as soon as possible I’d really appreciate it so that I can just hook up the refurbished and take it from there. Everything works over there. There was just a leak. I really created a problem from nothing trying to make it easier. That vivohome advertising was really convincing. They got my money and delivered nothing easy. Oh well lesson learned..
