VIVOHOME 2.0HP 6800GPH Dual Voltage Pool Pump, Self-Priming Energy Saving, 1.5" & 2" & 1.25"-1.5" Connectors w/Strainer Basket for In/Above Ground Pools

Five Star. Doing a review after using it for a full season. Great pump for the money. Very quiet and never was hot. Worked awesome. Highly recommend.

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.

I purchased this pool pump in May 2024 and installed it in June. It worked perfectly for the first four months of use during the swimming season. Afterward, I disconnected it and stored it indoors for the winter. When I reassembled and started using the pump again in 2025, it began leaking after just 12 days. The leak appears to be coming from the junction where the motor and the upper housing meet—a common failure point often related to a worn shaft seal or degraded gasket. This was unexpected, especially given the careful storage and limited use. For anyone considering this product, be aware that it may not last beyond a single season without issues. Disappointing experience—buyer beware. Update: complete motor failure.

The price point on this product was perfect. 1500 dollars for a pool pump? Crazy. I'd rather spend the 400 dollars for this all-in-one pump and be done! The installation was so simple, I had it ready to go in less that 30 minutes. It fit perfectly where we replaced the over-priced Haywood pump, The pump is much quieter, and the filtration is just as good. It looks just as sleek as the expensive pump it replaced. Lets see how long it lasts.

Depuis une semaine, la pompe fonctionne très bien et silencieuse en remplaçant l'ancienne pompe Hayward super 2 1 hp. L’installation est facile mais en achetant d’autres raccords afin de ne pas changer la tuyauterie existante. Les raccords de la nouvelle pompe n’étaient pas compatibles avec ma tuyauterie. J’espère qu’elle va durer longtemps.
