The strainer pot sits high on the right with a round lid and side tabs, and a large threaded union port projects straight out toward the right edge. A tall vertical discharge outlet rises near the top centre, behind the volute. The side of the wet end shows multiple brass toned inserts and hex head fasteners around the clamp ring. The motor extends leftward with pronounced cooling fins and a long rectangular control box on top, its lid closed, with warning labels and a white information sticker along the side. At the far left, the rounded motor end bell and fan cover are partly visible. The pump rests on a wide, rounded base rail with a slightly arched profile and broad feet. Rear facing view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump, isolated on a transparent background, centred on the motor end bell and fan cover. The circular black fan grille fills the lower middle with concentric vent openings, while above it a wide rectangular control enclosure sits like a cap, its lid closed and a white caution label centred on the front face. Two large round screw cap fittings protrude horizontally from the left side of the control box face, and a copper coloured bonding lug and small hardware sit on the right front corner. The wet end is mostly hidden behind, but the top of the strainer lid and the vertical discharge outlet are faintly visible above the control housing. The base feet are visible at the bottom left and right, creating a stable stance. Front facing view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump, isolated on a transparent background, showing the strainer pot end head on. A large circular opening sits in the centre with a perforated inner surface visible through it, framed by a thick ring. Above, the round strainer lid spans the top with two opposing side tabs, and the tall vertical discharge outlet rises behind the lid at the top centre. On the lower front of the housing, a wide orange and white warning label band runs horizontally. Brass toned inserts appear on both sides near mid height, and the heavy black base foot sits at the bottom with a broad, rounded front edge. Angled rear three quarter view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump, isolated on a transparent background, looking from the motor end toward the wet end. The circular motor fan cover sits at the far left with curved vent slots, while the motor body extends diagonally toward the right with deep cooling fins and a long control enclosure on top, its lid closed. The clamp ring and volute joint sit near the centre with multiple hex head bolts around the perimeter and brass toned inserts tucked into the housing pockets. The strainer pot rises at the upper right with its round lid and side tabs, and the broad base rail runs beneath everything with a raised arch under the motor. Side profile view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump, isolated on a transparent background, with the motor on the left and the wet end on the right in a straight horizontal layout. The motor body shows evenly spaced cooling fins and a closed control enclosure on top, tapering slightly toward the left end bell. The volute and clamp ring sit mid right with visible fasteners and brass toned inserts. The strainer pot rises at the top right with a round lid and side tabs, and a large threaded union port projects out to the far right. The entire assembly sits on a single black base foot with rounded ends and a central support arch beneath the motor. Top down view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump, isolated on a transparent background, with the control interface area visible but covered. The round strainer lid sits at the top centre with icons printed on the clear lid surface, and the vertical discharge outlet rises just below it. Beneath, the rectangular control enclosure occupies most of the lower half, its outer cover closed so the keypad is not visible. The moulded “HAYWARD” name is embossed across the upper front of the cover, and the unit’s edges show a slightly curved, hard plastic housing with visible hinge seams and small fasteners near the lower corners. Close up front view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump control interface, isolated on a transparent background, with the cover open. The black outer housing frames a blue keypad panel featuring a rectangular LCD display window near the top centre, a circular menu button and directional arrows in the middle, four labelled speed buttons stacked vertically on the left, and two larger function buttons on the right. A small Hayward logo appears in the top left of the blue panel, while the lower edge shows the hinged door lip and a central fastener beneath the keypad. Close up side view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump drain plugs and lower wet end, isolated on a transparent background. Two black twist style drain plugs extend horizontally from the lower right side of the housing, aligned one behind the other, each with a flat, rounded handle. The thick black base foot fills the lower portion with moulded contours and shallow recessed circles, while the textured composite housing rises above with a brass toned insert partially visible at the upper left edge. Angled side view of the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump strainer basket, isolated on a transparent background. The basket is white and cylindrical with a perforated mesh pattern wrapping around the body, a wide circular base flange at the bottom, and a moulded handle tab at the top. A round port opening protrudes from the front left side, and a rectangular scoop like opening sits at the lower front, indicating flow entry geometry and debris capture design. Wide layout view of Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump union and seal components, isolated on a transparent background, arranged in a straight line from left to right. Two thin black O rings sit at the far left, followed by a black flat gasket ring and a short black tailpiece. At centre, a taller black coupling piece stands upright. To the right, two larger threaded union nuts face inward with their internal threads visible, and a final wide ring sits at the far right, showing the full connection kit separated into individual parts for assembly. Angled product view of a Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump base or mounting support piece, isolated on a transparent background. The part is a matte black, elongated frame with rounded corners and raised edges, featuring two large recessed cavities: a circular opening on the left and a longer rectangular channel on the right. Small screw holes appear near the corners, and the underside slopes gently, suggesting it is designed to cradle or stabilise the pump body during installation. Side view of a Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump wiring lead and cable gland, isolated on a transparent background. A small black threaded cable gland sits at the far left, while a long coiled black cable stretches across the right side, bundled with bright red ties. The cable ends are stripped to expose internal conductors, including a visible yellow wire and bare metallic strands, indicating an electrical connection lead intended for pump power or control wiring.

TriStar VS

16" x 13.6" x 30.1"

According to EPA ENERGY STAR third-party test data, the Hayward TriStar VS Variable-Speed Pool Pump ranks among the most energy-efficient variable-speed pumps on the market. Built for medium to large pools, it can reduce energy costs by up to 90 percent, delivering potential annual savings of up to $1,500 when compared to traditional single-speed pumps.

A permanent-magnet, totally enclosed fan-cooled motor drives efficient, reliable performance while operating far more quietly than single-speed alternatives. The programmable touch-pad control allows flexible placement on the pump or wall and integrates easily as a standalone unit, with Hayward automation, or with other systems through relay control. An extra-large strainer basket simplifies debris removal and extends time between cleanings, helping maintain smooth, uninterrupted operation.
