Super Pump Appearance

[mohawk]

I purchased a super pump- 2 speed pump and was wondering if anybody elses looks like mine. It doesn't exactly look like the pictures I've seen. The front part of the pump where the water goes into the pump looks like all of the pics I've seen, but the motor is not gold it's black -and there is a black box that sits on the very top of the motor. The motor works ok, but I was wondering why it doesn't look like ANY picture that I've seen of that pump. Also, all of the model numbers match up for that particular pump.

I've only seen one SPII, and the motor is black. The SP is gold, but I think the II is black.

If you go to haywardnet.com, the company's web site, you can see it. The SP 2 speed can be as small as 1hp, but the smallest SPII 2spd is 1.5.

The SP has a gold motor. The SPII is all black, streamlined (a la the 30's) with a gold label on the motor.

IF the HP is right for you, I don't see an issue (unless they charged you more). If it's too much, you'll need to have them replace it.

Both should be full-rated pumps, so the hp can be compared.

This is a super pump 1 hp, not a super pump II. I'll try to upload some pics to show what it looks like. I just don't know why it looks different than ALL of the pictures I've seen.

The pump seems to run ok. Just looks different. I talked to Hayward and they said the pump hasn't changed in years. ?? Denise

I can only see the first picture--the other two don't load. It looks like a replacement motor--certainly not the original. Is this a used pump?

This is suppose to be a new pump. I'll try to reload the pics.





You can see on some of the pics that the paint has chipped off. It came that way to me. Denise
