The TriStar volute and impeller geometry reduces internal turbulence compared to standard pump designs, which means lower noise and lower energy draw at a given flow rate across the full speed range. OmniX Bluetooth connects directly to the Hayward app for scheduling, speed control, and water temperature monitoring. No centralized controller required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eWho Needs the VS 820 vs. the VS 815\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe VS 815 at 1.85 HP handles most large residential pools. The VS 820 at 2.25 HP makes sense when the pool is above 35,000 gallons, the plumbing run is long (60+ feet between pool and equipment), or the system adds significant hydraulic demand from in-floor cleaning, a raised spa spillover, or multiple simultaneous water features. If a previous 1.85 HP pump was running above 2,800 RPM during normal filtration, that is a clear sign more horsepower is the right move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward TriStar VS 820 W3VSP32820 Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"spec-list\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSKU \/ Model\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eW3VSP32820\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eMotor Horsepower\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e2.25 HP\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eMotor Type\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003ePermanent magnet variable speed\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eSpeed Range\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e600 to 3450 RPM\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eProgrammable Speeds\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eUp to 8 speed and schedule programs\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e115V \/ 230V dual voltage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eMax Amperage (230V)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e14.9A\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eBuilt-in OmniX Bluetooth; Wi-Fi remote access via optional OmniX Gateway (sold separately)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eAutomation Compatibility\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eStandalone; Hayward OmniLogic; third-party systems via relay\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePorts\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e2\" union plumbing (inlet and outlet)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eStrainer Basket\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eExtra-large capacity with clear cover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePool Application\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eIn-ground residential pools\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eHousing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eGlass-reinforced thermoplastic\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eEnergy Certification\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eENERGY STAR certified; DOE, NSF, UL compliant\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e1 year; professional installation required for warranty validation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eHayward TriStar VS 820 Variable Speed Pool Pump Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes OmniX use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBluetooth.
