Why it matters
The Jandy VSFHP185DVS 1.85 HP Variable-Speed Pool Pump is a 1.85 hp variable-speed pool pump.
Variable speed lets it run slowly for most of the day, which uses far less energy than a single-speed pump moving the same water, and speed up for cleaning or heating. It runs on 115/230v.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- In-ground pools
- Replacing a failed pump
Look elsewhere if
- Pools much larger than its turnover range
- Spa jets needing high head
