Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pool Pump 1.5HP 230V, Variable Dual Speed Pumps 1100W for Above Ground Pool, Strainer Filter Basket, 5400 GPH Max. Flow, Energy Saving Swimming Pool Pump

For the price, this is a great Pump! I replaced my 1 hp Pentaire with this pump and it works great. As always when you change manufacturers you will have to re-pipe the filter to the new pump. The pump came with its fittings for the intake and output and it didn't take much to adapt it. I have solar heating panels on the roof of my house that peeks at @ 14' the pump has no problem holding the pressure as it pumps up to the panels. The pump is quiet and primes itself. Just remember it is not necessarily about the HP as it is about the Gal.Per.Minute

Quietly moves just as much water as the 14 year old Doughboy pump with howling bearings and a leaky seal that it replaced. It has vents on the bottom side that are right next to motor windings and make me question whether it's really safe to have in a wet and/or outdoor location. I verified my GFCI circuit breaker was working and mounted the new pump inside the outer plastic housing of the old pump to make myself feel better about this - the motor diameter was the same, so this could be done with only a moderate amount of effort. If it starts tripping the GFCI all the time, I'll update this review. The factory extension cord is attached under the "end cap" with spade connectors that make this easy to integrate with old wiring. The end cap hardware is quite magnetic - so not corrosion resistant and this is all going to rust in the presence of chlorinated pool water. There's no seal, gasket, or O-ring under the end cap. Another questionable safety decision. Another reviewer mentions that the white plastic hose adapters are not the right thread type. I can confirm this. With egregious amounts of teflon tape, you can slow the leak to a drip, but not stop it. You'll need to get different fittings. This reflects poorly on the outfit that got this wrong, but the people packaging the fittings with the pump are probably not the same ones who designed and built the pump - which appears to be perfectly reasonable quality. Spectacular quality for the price paid.

This pump works great love it, 2.0 HP

This pump works great! Exactly what we needed. We have a 24” round above ground pool. Wayyyyy quieter that outr old pump . From our deck, I can’t tell if if it’s on ! The only downside were that directions are not clear for turning the return outlet horizontally (instead of vertical). We figured it out on our own after a bit but directions on this are next to nothing (and we’re incorrect) if you are trying to install it yourself.

Very good price for the pump power

The product was delivered very quickly. It looks like a quality piece. The electrical cord had a small section where the outer casing had scraped off but still very useable. Amazon would have accepted a return for a replacement but I did not have the time to wait. Another consumer of this product reviewed it as 1 star. Clearly they did not understand the principals of a centrifugal pump. This pump will not self-prime and must be situated below the water level. Vent off the air be cracking the lid open slightly while filling with water. Start the pump after being properly filled and it works great. The white fittings that come with this pump are not the correct thread for the pump housing. The white fittings are pipe thread (sealed by using Teflon tape) while the pump housing has straight threads that seal with the use of an O-ring. The pump comes with a standard straight plug on its electrical cord. Electrical Code in my area requires a twist-lock connection. Overall the pump seems to be of very good quality. Easy to install other than the need to swap fittings and cord from my old pump to this one. It operates quietly and smoothly. It has strong discharge pressure. The only reason for not giving a 5-star rating is that I am not sure of its longevity.

I like this 2.0 hp VEVOR pump that replaced my 6 year old Hayward 1.0hp pump. This sucker really moves the water with a lot of force. The only drawback is that it doesn't have an on/off switch, which is fine as I use mine connected to a timer with a remote control. I can turn it on and off with the remote or set it to run for 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours at a time. The only time you need the on/off ability is when you are backwashing the sand filter. I've only had this pump for 3 days now, but so far so good.

I wish I had a video but i exchanged it so fast with my old one i didnt have yime. It has a lot better flow tha. The other i had and cleaned the pool in record time so heck yea its an awesome buy.

This pump does the job it’s meant for. Easy to install and get working. Very cost effective pump. Connect it right, use it for specifications meant for and you won’t go wrong.

Just got it up and running. No issues whatsoever with the pump, it is quiet and efficient. The cables provided were not quite compatible with my other cable terminals; at first I thought that we solar panels did not work. Found out that somehow the mc4 connectors did not actually connect. Rewired and the pump worked right away.
