VIVOHOME2.0HP 6800GPH Dual Voltage Pool Pump, Self-Priming Energy Saving, 1.5" & 2" & 1.25"-1.5" Connectors w/Strainer Basket for In/Above Ground Pools

I bought the pump in May of 2024. It has been used a lot as well as being turned on and off a lot. It hs not failed,leaked,hummed, high pitched and has not over heated. I just turned it back on on May 12 of this year 2025. It came on instantly with no issues. It was used from May of 2024 through half of September. According to other reviews there has been issues, but occasionally there's issue with most of anything thats mechanical. At this point I would purchase it. I have to give it 5 stars.

As per the headline/subject-line, I could give a s*** about leaving ANY reviews on anything I buy here - BUT, this one actually deserves it.-----My pool is approx 35k gallons, 7.5 feet on the deep end - it's not small by any means. Original pump failed, was a HAYWARD 1.5HP. Looked at replacements locally and online, which start between $349.99/649.99 and up from there.-----At the time, this thing was on sale for $192.59 total with same-day shipping - so I took a shot. That was in April 2024. It's now October 2024 and it's working like a champ.-----Since the purchase, I've had moments at least (3) separate instances where the pool has turned swamp-green with a nice coat of algae on the floor due to a bad salt cell, amongst other factors (travel, self inflicted negligence). It's important to note because for me to clean up the mess, I've had the pump run for 3-4 days at a time non-stop.-----This thing works just as well as the HAYWARD I had. Zero issues.-----The only thing I'll speak on (only issue I had - which happened once), would be the interior "cage" which protects the impeller -- see image attachment. I had a ton of debris and small leaves that worked their way through the "cage" and jammed the impeller. Not a fault of the pump - my pool was unbelievably dirty. This is not exclusive to this pump BTW, it happens to all of them, specially after a series of big parties and extended use where hair builds up and passes through. Anyway, the cage made it difficult for, actually impossible for me to remove/access the debris on the impeller with my fingers. As a result, the pump doesn't prime and puts out a large "out-of-norm" humming noise. If this happens to you, take some "Dental Hook Probes" and work them through the plastic grid to remove the debris.-----After that hiccup, it primed instantly and has been working perfectly since.-----For the money and delivery time-frame, hard to beat this.-----I can't speak on the longevity of it YET, but if you're in a pinch time-wise and money is tight...this will get the job done.-----As a final note, I had to rework my original plumbing to get the fittings/pump to hook up. This is not exactly plug-n-play out-of-the-box...but then again...NO NEW PUMP IS. The benefit of hooking up the included fittings is that it makes the pump an easy twist-on/twist-off install and removal. MEANING...IF THIS PUMP GOES BAD - AND YOU BUY THE SAME ONE - you can pop-it in...in minutes.-----If this goes bad at any point, best believe I'm buying it again - hands down. Hope it helps.

We purchased a pool pump in August 2023, installed it in September and it stopped working by the end of January 2024. We had guests at the house who didn't want to be bothered with it, so we waited a few weeks to see if we can fix it, then contacted customer service on 2/27/24.I explained to customer service that the pool pump would not turn on at all. A little later I received an email asking for a video of the problem, which was a weird request for something that does not turn on, but I complied with the request, and sent in a vide of the non-working pool pump.I was advised that this has been sent to the factory and that someone would get back to me, but they never did.I sent an email again on 3/4, asking for a replacement and a return label for the broken pump so I can send it back. Next day I received and email stating that there's no need to send back the broken pump, they already processed a replacement for me and I should receive it in 5-7 business days.No confirmation number was given, so I decided to wait a couple of days, and after not hearing anything, called at 1pm on 3/7 and asked for a tracking number, or anything confirming a replacement was sent. I was told someone will call me back in an hour.No one did (notice the pattern?), so I called back after two hours at around 3pm. The girl, I believe her name was Norma, told me that I have go wait exactly 48 hours before they answer me, and since the last communication about the replacement was on Tuesday at 7pm, I have to wait until 7pm today.No one ever called me, and the next day I was e-mailed a fake tracking number.At this point it's obvious that I'm getting the runaround and will likely never see a replacement, so long story short, save yourself the headache and don't buy this junk. I can't believe Amazon allows this to happen on their platform

I’m giving a 2 star rating for the moment . I bought this pump in September of 2024 . It’s not had a lot of use between then and now . It died the other day . Turning it on it just hums and through the breaker . Most of us say hey thats a bad start capacitor ! But it checks out good . I spin the shaft and it starts up .I contacted the company and I’m waiting to hear back . Oddly which I didn’t catch was there’s no warranty info posted on Amazon nor the MF’s web site that I could find . Also it’s my fault that I didn’t realize what this company specializes in which is not pool pumps . LolAlso I’m not sure this pump is rated for outdoor use it sure does not look like it is . So I’ll see how they handle this if there’s no replacement then this review will stand and you should avoid this product without clear warranty info .I will say it’s quiet and its flow rate is good when running . lol wish it was a two speed .Update ; contact with company via email sent some possible repair options which worked . It involves some mechanical skills so be aware .Company response was fast so that’s another plus . Bottom line pool up and running again .😊
