I have a single speed Tristar that I need to replace. Is the variable a easy replace? Just take old out. Put new in. Hook up and good to go?

Easy to replace but do not buy the Hayward buy the Pentair. Hayward is very short life and unreliable.

I hired a Hayward tech to install my new VSP. It was pretty straight forward but required the use of over-sleeve pvc fittings to connect the new 2"piping to the old 2" piping. I have been quite happy with the install and new operating sysyem.

Yes, the variable speed wires in to the same 240 volt power just like your single speed pump. The EcoStar has more control options that can be utilized at your control box. I am using an older Jandy box as my main control unit and just using the onboard controls on the EcoStar to program time and speed settings.

The previous answer from Mitch is very well done, complete, and easy to understand. Use his info and you should have no problem. This is a very simple unit and easy to replace.

The wheel itself, its motor, and its housing all come as one integrated unit. You will remove the old unit and place the new one in. One important caution: The unit has two power leads. One of them has a plastic terminal clip, and it's self evident how it connects. The other is a flat cable. The terminal of the flat cable inserts into a slot and has bare metal exposed on one side and is coated on the other side. When you remove the old unit, be sure to take note of which side is the bare metal side. Otherwise, if you install the new unit with the bare metal to the wrong side of the slot, nothing will work. I know from experience, because I made this mistake and finally had to call a repairman, who went directly to the problem and fixed it in 10 minutes. You may also find that the rubber gasket on the new unit falls off when you try to insert the unit into its location. You may want to try adhering it to the unit with a light coating of rubber cement before installing the unit. The alignment of the unit is crucial, and if the gasket is out of place, the wheel may not line up properly with the light beam that goes to the projector lens.

Hello, this unit is a perfect match. I did it both ways, I cut out one and just replaced the fan/motor assembly on the other. Just remember to make sure the check valve on the discharge horn opens and closes fully. Everything else is simply total time for second option is 30 minutes. Hope this is of some service to you.

Not sure we just replaced the motor. I think it should tell you on box or go to YouTube and it will tell you how to do it. Sorry not much help. Works good!

I am not a small engine mechanic. It has been a while, but from what I remember it was a simple process. It comes as a kit. You take I believe for screws out. Take broken recoil off. And the new one is easily replaced. I was surprised. That is what I remember. Also, the Recumseh has worked very well since it was replaced. 2 years I think.

I've only used it to replace an original in a 1992 town car. It worked perfectly same as usual.

I am not terribly skilled but found it easy to replace the whole pump, just turn off the water and loosen and tighten some bolts. Replacing just the motor did not work at all. My plumbing supply house and I both recommend replacing the entire unit.

I am not really sure about that. The nameplate on my old motor read 1075 RPM so it was an exact match. If you do go with this motor, the increase in speed will require that the motor deliver more horsepower. If you do decide to go with this motor as a replacement, I would make sure that the horsepower rating of the replacement motor is at least 25% higher than the old motor.

Mine came in quickly, works flawlessly. My original quit after 6 years, thinking about getting a second as back up.

I just recently replaced my motor and have not had any issues so far. My initial motor still works, however, it was the gear box that crapped out .... lasted about five years and begin screeching and grinding (gears wore out ... unfortunately you can't find a kit to just replace the gears). So, I have a backup motor now.

I should be. Be very careful when replacing it. Go to someone who has experience with it if possible.
