My pool was fitted with 1 1/2 inch piping but the new high efficiency pumps call for 2" piping. Can I still use one of these newer pumps and obtain the energy efficiency savings?

You could use the HCP3400VSP Hayward EcoStar Variable Speed Pump with 1.5" PVC pipe.  A reducer would be required and you would not be able to run the pump on its highest RPM.  This is ok because most pools are not able to run the pump on its highest RPM.  You would still reduce your operating costs using this pump.

Good Day. I have found the information needed for your question. It is located in the manual under section 5. More specifically sections 5.7 and 5.8. Please click here, Hayward Ecostar Owner's Manual, to find those parts of the manual that have your needed instructions.

My Hayward Ecostar pump had an error message "Emergency stop" check system. They told me to check the return lines and the filter. I checked the return lines/filter and turned the system off at the electrical breakers. After I turned the breakers back on the LED screen read starting up. However, the pump was not engaging. The Stop/Resume light would only turn red all others are blue when engaged.

Hello, I would recommend reading page 28-32 of this manual attached. It would be best to have a service tech check this unit. To ensure that there is not an electrical issue.

Hi, Kearney. If you forgot the password, the factory default password is 1234. The password can be reset to factory default by pressing and holding the Speed 1 and Speed 4 buttons at the same time while powering on the drive, or by resetting all parameters in the Configuration Menu. Then using the steps on page 19 (5.7. Timer Menu) of the Hayward Ecostar C Pump Manual to set the speed and duration.
