Happybuy Swimming Pool Pump 1 HP 110V Hot Tub Pump 0.75 Kw Water Circulation Pool Pump Spa Pump Above Ground Pool and Whirlpool Bath

I had this for a few months before I installed it. This was used to replace a Polaris booster pump and is being used to supply a pool fountain. We quit using the Polaris years ago. My grandchildren enjoy this fountain and this 1/2 hp pump is the perfect size for that. It was easy to install. I had to buy a few PVC adapters to plumb it down to the 3/4" (hoses) existing plumbing.

Great pump and very quiet.1) One thing to remember is that it is not self priming so the pump needs to be placed lower than the water (e.g hot tub or above ground pool). I am using for a pool water feature (waterfall) and am using a check valve that insures that water is stored in the pump for startup.2) It does not have standard fittings. The 2" fittings are not actually standard 2" and will not fit standard 2" PVC couplings. The specs say that they are 5cm/2.0". 5cm is actually 1.9685" and I don't think they are quite that large. Consequently, I used rubber coupling with stainless steel clamps. An acceptable compromise considering the price and apparent quality of the pump.

This works really well and is quieter than I expected it to be. Powerful suction and output resulting in a little over 4200 gal/hr.My biggest gripe is that the fittings are not US standard, resulting in having to custom configure this to work w/ what we can find at the hardware store. Like what others have mentioned, I used a rubber coupling to make the connection work with my 1.5 inch hoses.BUT I couldn't find any rubber coupling large enough to fit their claim of 2 inch pipe. The inner wall of that pipe is about 1.97 inches and the outer wall is about 2.12. I was fortunate enough to find an actual 2 inch pipe at Home Depot and was able to shove and pipe glue it into their included pipe. Not sure how that math works, but you can see Home Depot's measurement of 2 inches isn't really 2 inches either. SMHOnce glued into place, I was able to use a 2 inch rubber coupling and everything worked well from there. You can either do this or order that part another customer mentioned in their review. Included pic of my set up.

Please send the 1.5 inch rubber O-rings for the PVC fittings. This pump won’t work without them!

Changed this out in a Master Spa Balboa pump. It would have been a perfect swap, except that I had to put a 2x4 under the new pump to position it. Not bad for a universal replacement under $100.

The media could not be loaded. This product is great. But the fittings are odd size but will fit 1.5 pipes Maybe you are going to use this pump for a hot tub? It is recommended that you buy 2 more fittings the same size that way. You'll be easy to transition from the pump to the heater other than that works great.

Pump is loud audibly, much more than the original. Air locks when filter needs even a slight cleaning. That means is probably has a high rate of flow, but is not adjustable.

I bought this pump for my spa in June of 2022 to replace my previous pump of 12 years. This pump went out in March 2024. I do not recommend!!! Now I have to purchase another pump and pay someone else to replace it.
