Compatibility / Fitment Notes
Pentair identifies the SuperFlo VST as a drop-in replacement for existing Pentair SuperFlo pumps and Hayward Super Pump applications. Confirm the current pump model, plumbing position, available electrical supply, required flow, total dynamic head, and automation interface before purchase. A similar footprint does not replace proper hydraulic sizing.
Installation / Use Notes
Have a qualified pool professional confirm the pump is properly sized for the pool’s hydraulic requirements and verify the existing plumbing footprint, voltage, bonding, and automation compatibility. Install and wire the pump according to the Pentair SuperFlo VST manual and applicable codes. After installation, program the three operating speeds and schedules for the pool’s circulation needs. Do not service the pump while it is energized or while the system is pressurized.
