It runs in tandem with your primary circulation pump to give pressure-side cleaners their own dedicated water supply, separate from the main filtration loop. Vertical or horizontal discharge. Includes 3\/4\" hose barb union adapters, 1-1\/2\" plumbing union fittings, and a motor\/pump stand. Uses up to 40% less electricity than comparable booster pumps. Not self-priming; only operates when the main pump is running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHayward Booster Pump W36060 - Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe W36060 is Hayward's primary residential booster pump, compatible with all pressure-side cleaners that require a dedicated booster circuit including the Polaris 280, Polaris 380, and similar models. The tall mounting base increases motor ventilation and provides protection from minor flooding at the equipment pad. The vertical or horizontal discharge orientation means it fits most equipment pad layouts without repositioning your plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: W36060\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-year limited warranty; professional installation recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 HP; 1.25 THP; 3450 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e115V \/ 230V dual voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 40% less electricity than comparable booster pumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical or horizontal discharge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: 3\/4\" hose barb union adapters, 1-1\/2\" plumbing union fittings, motor\/pump stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHose installation kit (6060HKIT) sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all pressure-side cleaners requiring a booster pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot self-priming; must only run when the main circulation pump is running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall mounting base for motor ventilation and flood protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal overload protection built into the motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHayward Booster Pump W36060 - Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eHayward 3\/4 HP Pool Booster Pump W36060 - Technical Specifications\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW36060\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor Horsepower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4 HP (1.25 THP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePump Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3450 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115V \/ 230V dual voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmperage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.0A at 115V \/ 6.0A at 230V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDischarge Orientation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVertical or horizontal (field selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet\/Outlet Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-1\/2\" NPT; 3\/4\" hose barb union adapters included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-Priming\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo; requires main circulation pump to be running\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 40% less than comparable booster pumps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4\" hose barb union adapters, 1-1\/2\" plumbing union fittings, motor\/pump stand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional Accessory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHose installation kit (6060HKIT), sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure-side automatic pool cleaner booster duty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Cleaners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll pressure-side cleaners requiring a dedicated booster pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL Listed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 year warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHayward Pool Booster Pump W36060 - Installation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe W36060 installs in-line on the return plumbing, downstream of the filter, with a dedicated line running to the pressure-side cleaner. It is not self-priming and must only operate when the main circulation pump is running. Most pool owners wire the booster pump to a timer so it runs during the cleaner's scheduled hours, typically 2 to 4 hours per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump requires its own dedicated electrical circuit at 115V or 230V depending on motor wiring. A licensed electrician should handle the wiring connection. Mount on a level, firm surface and prime before first startup to protect the mechanical seal. Hose connection retrofit is possible using the 3\/4\" hose barb union adapters included; for flexible hose installations, the optional 6060HKIT provides additional fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHayward W36060 Pool Booster Pump - Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need a booster pump if I already have a main circulation pump?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your pressure-side cleaner specifies a booster pump. Cleaners like the Polaris 280 and 380 are designed to run on a dedicated booster circuit, not shared return pressure from the main pump. Running them without a dedicated booster pump results in poor performance and premature cleaner wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan this pump run continuously?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe W36060 is rated for continuous duty, but most pool owners connect it to the same timer as their pressure-side cleaner and run it only during cleaning cycles, typically 2 to 4 hours per day. This is the most energy-efficient approach. It must not run when the main circulation pump is off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat plumbing size does this pump use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump includes 1-1\/2\" plumbing union fittings and 3\/4\" hose barb union adapters for flexible hose connections. Standard 1-1\/2\" PVC pool plumbing fits directly.
