XtremepowerUS 2HP In-Ground Swimming Pool Pump Variable Speed 2" Inlet 230V High Flo w/Slip-On Fitting

This item was working great. It was quiet. We bought this on June 22, 2026 and on August 22, 2026, we had a storm come through and knocked out our power. The pump burnt up and I had gone through Amazon to try and get it replaced and they said the return policy had already passed back in July. I contacted the actual seller Xtreme Power US and they responded promptly and they are replacing our pool pump. If you buy this product go onto Xtreme Power US and register your product. We are happy with our purchase. If we need another one we will definitely buy from Xtreme Power US.

To start out, I bought and installed this pump 2 years ago. It seems there is a new version for this pump, which might be better than the one I received two years ago. During the first year, the pump worked great and you couldn't hear it from the pool. I noticed after the first year the pump got a little louder. I'm not sure what caused this. I have a fence that seperates the pump from the pool, and the pump is roughly 20 feet away. After 1.5 years, you could definately hear it from the pool. The scariest thing is how it stopped working. I went out to switch the pump on manually, and suddenly the pump motor emitted sparks, smoke and made several loud popping sounds. The electrical burn smell was terrible. I turned the pump off, thinking maybe the controller box had a short or overload. After running a few tests, the controller box and circuit breakers were fine. I flipped the pump switch back on, thinking maybe there was a lizard (I live in TX) or some other critter in the pump windings that created the short, but even more sparks, smoke and pops were emitted than before. This pump motor sat less than 6 inches from my house. If this pump would have caught fire during it's normal run time, and my house was made of something other than brick or motor, it could have caused a house fire. This pump should have some sort of safety breaker or switch that disables power from the pump when it overheats or has a short. I gave up on trying to figure out what happened to the pump and bought a different one that does have these safety features. My final thoughts... I would spend a few more dollars and buy a pump with more safety features built in. If this pump would have never caught fire and continued to run, I would have given it 4 stars.

Powerful, Quiet, and Efficient Pool Pump Upgrade I recently upgraded to the XtremepowerUS 2HP variable speed pool pump, and it has been a big improvement for my in-ground pool system. Installation was straightforward with the slip-on 2" fittings, and once set up, it started running smoothly right away. What stands out most is the motor—it’s powerful enough to handle high-flow circulation, yet runs much quieter than my old single-speed pump. The variable speed feature has been the biggest advantage. I can adjust the speed for different needs—higher when vacuuming or after heavy use, and lower for regular filtration—which not only keeps the pool clean but should also help with energy savings over time. The pump body feels solid, and the clear lid makes it easy to see when the basket needs cleaning. One thing to keep in mind: since it’s a 230V pump, make sure your setup matches the electrical requirements before purchasing. Also, the instructions could be more detailed, especially for those not used to pool equipment installs, though most pool owners with some experience will manage fine. Bottom line: This XtremepowerUS 2HP variable speed pump is a strong, efficient, and quieter replacement that delivers excellent flow and flexibility. A worthwhile investment for anyone looking to upgrade their pool system.

Had this pump now for a year. I waited a year to write this review for a specific reason. Prior to this pump I had a Hayward 2 speed pump ($$$$$) that lasted a whopping 3 years. Hayward pumps are pricey and don’t seem to last. So we decided to try this pump. Here is what we found: You will have to re-plumb your pump and slightly adjust some of the piping locations; this pump does not have the same dimensions as a Hayward. This pump does not have the power of the Hayward that I had; both are rated the same though. However, this pump definitely has enough power to run my pool vac, skimmer, and filter and keep the pool clean. This pump is definitely a lot quieter than the Hayward pump. Even on high speed. This pump is a LOT cheaper than a Hayward pump. I figured if I could get this pump to last a year, my costs would be even with the Hayward. Even having to replace this one annually (which I have not had to do so far) would be slightly cheaper than a Hayward that only lasts 3 years. If this pump lasts 2 years I will make out like a bandit compared to the Hayward. I don’t have hard numbers to back it up but my electric bill is lower since I installed this pump. Of course many things can affect that bill. Overall so far this pump is a big win for us. The only drawback is the slightly less power than the Hayward but for the cost I can overlook that. We are running this pump @ 240v with a 2 speed controller (not the built in switch on the pump).

First I’d like to say that this pump is on the top 10 list. I’m old school, been hooking up these motors for some time, the thing that confused me at first was there was no Thermal Protection, No capacitor. I don’t see this information anywhere, so I’m passing it on to you to save you the research, I’ve had to go through. Then I googled some information, that California has some new power consumption ordinates. THIS MOTOR does not have a capacitor. “According to Section 1605.3(g)(5) of California's Appliance Efficiency Regulation, California requires: Pump motors that are made after January 1, 2006, cannot be split-phase or have a capacitor start-induction run type. Motors with a total horsepower greater than. 75 must operate at two or more speeds.” So after this was established I hooked the pump up to my pool system, found the High, Low and Common from my pool control relays. (My Pool System is controlling this pump completely automatically) Hooked the pump up, not using the High Low switch contained. The Pool pump is very pleasingly quiet and powerful. What I love most about this pump as it’s very quiet. My old Hayward pump was loud, annoying to relax in my back yard, this pump, it’s so quiet, you hardly know its running. All in all, I hooked this pump up myself, as the warranty requires you to register within 14 days with a receipt from an electrician, which I didn’t do. It’s about the 3rd of the cost of a Hayward. I will be purchasing this pump for my future pool pump needs. (Especially since I re-plumed my pool equipment for this pump). I just installed it this weekend, so I don’t have a longevity report yet. I’ll post more information in about a year. My last Hayward lasted 9 years, my neighbor states he's been changing his newer Hayward pumps about every year or two. I've found Replacement Haywards between $500 - $1200 not installed. So that makes this an incredible value. Hope you find my review helpful. UPDATE: 5/24/2023 I purchased this pump Jan 20, 2020, and it's still going strong!!!! I will order another one when needed. I will get a little bigger pump, but other then that absolutely NO COMPLAINTS!!!! An update my pump quit 08/15/2024 I ordered another one just like it. It ran for 4.5 years non-stop!!!! GREAT PUMP!!! The bearings dried out and pump motor froze. GREAT Value!!!!
