I am a huge fan of Variable Speed pumps and I am always
pushing them onto customers as the energy savings are tremendous over the old
single speed pumps. I have reviewed various brands and today there are several
major manufacturers with their own versions of VS Pumps. Jacuzzi is one brand
that sells two very reliable versions in the J-VSP150 and the J-VSP250.
One thing that sets the Jacuzzi VS pumps apart is their
warranty period. If purchased and installed by a pool service professional, you
will receive a 2-year warranty on the pump. This is better than most other VS
pumps currently on the market. If it is installed by Leslie’s Pool Supply the
warranty is extended to 5 years. That is correct, a five-year warranty. And
Leslie’s Pool will install the Jacuzzi Pump at no cost or no installation
charge.
Here is more about the Jacuzzi Pump from the manufacturer:
“Reduce electricity costs while providing your family
with a clean and clear swimming pool when you install the Jacuzzi® J-VSP150 or the
Jacuzzi® J-VSP250 Professional-Grade Variable Speed Pool Pump! This pool pump
is suitable for use on in ground swimming pools that require a more
high-demanding application.
The J-VSP150 Variable Speed Pool Pump features a
strong flow rate that’s efficiency circulates your pools water and backwashes
virtually any sized filter system while still providing you with enough energy
to power the suction on your pool cleaner. The J-VSP150 Variable Speed Pool
Pump features an efficient wet end, basket check valve, easy to open lid,
long-lasting Viton o-rings, carbon pump seal, and includes an adjustable base,
unions and lid removal tool for ease of use.

The J-VSP150 is a 1.5 hp VS Pump which should be enough
for most pool owners. If you are running water features and a large attached
spa you may want to opt for the J-VSP250 which is there 2.5 hp version. I think
the majority of pool owners can get away with using the J-VSP250 but you can always
email me your pool specs and I will let you know the best choice for your pool.
The pump itself is very easy to program and operate.
The control panel built into the back is very simple and user friendly. The
design of the pump is also very sleek, and the wet end pump basket area is
large and easy to open. The included tool makes opening the pump lid very easy,
although you can easily open it without it also. As far as the noise factor it
is not as quite as the Jandy VS pump and sounds more in line with the Pentair
Super Flo Vs pump. It will be quitter than your standard 1 speed pump for sure
but not silent if that is a factor for you.
All in all the Jacuzzi VS pump is a solid choice and
when you are comparing VS pumps don’t pass this one up without a second look.
