Jacuzzi J-VSP150 & J-VSP250 Variable Speed Pump Overview and Programming Video

- I am a huge fan of Variable Speed pumps and I am always pushing them onto customers as the energy savings are tremendous over the old single speed pumps. I have reviewed various brands and today there are several major manufacturers with their own versions of VS Pumps. Jacuzzi is one brand that sells two very reliable versions in the J-VSP150 and the J-VSP250.
One thing that sets the Jacuzzi VS pumps apart is their warranty period. If purchased and installed by a pool service professional, you will receive a 2-year warranty on the pump. This is better than most other VS pumps currently on the market. If it is installed by Leslie’s Pool Supply the warranty is extended to 5 years. That is correct, a five-year warranty. And Leslie’s Pool will install the Jacuzzi Pump at no cost or no installation charge.
Here is more about the Jacuzzi Pump from the manufacturer:
“Reduce electricity costs while providing your family with a clean and clear swimming pool when you install the Jacuzzi® J-VSP150 or the Jacuzzi® J-VSP250 Professional-Grade Variable Speed Pool Pump! This pool pump is suitable for use on in ground swimming pools that require a more high-demanding application.
The J-VSP150 Variable Speed Pool Pump features a strong flow rate that’s efficiency circulates your pools water and backwashes virtually any sized filter system while still providing you with enough energy to power the suction on your pool cleaner. The J-VSP150 Variable Speed Pool Pump features an efficient wet end, basket check valve, easy to open lid, long-lasting Viton o-rings, carbon pump seal, and includes an adjustable base, unions and lid removal tool for ease of use.
Pool Pump Features
• Energy Star Certified: Save up to 80% on energy costs.
• Decreases run time and energy use while still working at a professional-grade level.
• Ideal for harsher weather conditions.
• Resists cracking and leaking for a longer lasting and more durable pump.
Warranty
Five (5) Year Limited Warranty on Product with exclusive Leslie's Equipment Protection Plan, see manual for a full description of warranty claims and coverage details.”
The J-VSP150 is a 1.5 hp VS Pump which should be enough for most pool owners. If you are running water features and a large attached spa you may want to opt for the J-VSP250 which is there 2.5 hp version. I think the majority of pool owners can get away with using the J-VSP250 but you can always email me your pool specs and I will let you know the best choice for your pool.
The pump itself is very easy to program and operate. The control panel built into the back is very simple and user friendly. The design of the pump is also very sleek, and the wet end pump basket area is large and easy to open. The included tool makes opening the pump lid very easy, although you can easily open it without it also. As far as the noise factor it is not as quite as the Jandy VS pump and sounds more in line with the Pentair Super Flo Vs pump. It will be quitter than your standard 1 speed pump for sure but not silent if that is a factor for you.
All in all the Jacuzzi VS pump is a solid choice and when you are comparing VS pumps don’t pass this one up without a second look.

It is clear you're so familiar with this pump, but would you consider making a "pump for Dummies" version,? and I'd hope
you pause between each step, and also push buttons from a position from facing the controller, your hand forward instead of
side ways as depicted here, so it will not cover some of the buttons. The many of us who are not familiar with this kind of device,
would so appreciate a slower depiction of the process. Thank you.
Yes, please slow down!!!! You set it for one thing--kept changing it--then changed it yet again! What should the settings be?
This pump doesn't come with an shock cycle override of auto mode. I had to fire a pool guy who turned the pool pump on manual after shocking the pool. He left it on for 3 weeks while we were out of town. Huge electrical bill in Arizona in the summer. Called Leslie and they admitted it was a huge oversight by Jacuzzi. When they installed it they took the new Jacuzzi pump out of the old manual timer box that an old single speed Hayward was on and had worked great for pool guys.
I can tell you from personal experience (250 model) that this pump is not a good pump. I've been through 2 of them (warranty). They crack easily and cause vacuum leaks. The compsite material is thin and cheap. After researching the pump I found out that the pump is actually an ASTRAL product and can be bought under the ASTRAL product name on Amazon for $300 less (ASTRAL Pool Viron eVo P580) . I felt completely ripped off and would like to let everyone know that Leslie's Warranty is a real pain because my pump was not replaced for a whole month. Also, the biggest complaint on the ASTRAL pump is that the viton seal fails after 2 years. I'm not looking forward to that.
Thanks for the feedback! 👍
My second one after only 2 years just went out...back to Leslie’s!
Thanks. I had similar issue. The impeller and seal melted after 4 month in service, and i never ran pump without water. These parts are not covered by warranty
Whenever I change the time it automatically reverts back and won't save, any thoughts?
Mine is doing the same thing. I can't seem to get the current time to save.
Any updates on how to fix the clock not keeping... My pump is off by 4 hours and there is no way of saving the real time.
i totally regret buying this!!! it's hard to program and they fly through the instructions so fast you can't understand. I have had them out to my house 3 times and I still can't get it right...! waiting on my next electric bill---see if I really am saving any month on the blasted thing........
I have no issues with mine. I actually use solar on med and low with a 2000watt inverter during the day. This video is simple and in used it when i first bought it
To run pump continuously on same speed I turned off the timer and looks like it's work.
will the 250vsp work as a replacement for a Hayward 2.0 hp Northstar single speed? I also have the Aqua Logic automation & chlorination system
Better to upgrade to a Hayward VS pump so that it can communicate with your Aqau Logic System.
@@SPL thankyou for responding, I'll follow your advise for my main pool pump; a friend will sell me a new Jandy for $200, but I will only need it as my 2nd pump for my spa; will I be able to turn it on with my automation & just set the pump to run on a single speed
The plastic lid that covers the controller has cracked, discolored and broke after 3 years. Should be no problem just replace the clear plastic cover that is basically a sacrificial part. The cover is not sold separately and you must by the complete controller assembly for $450.00, Strainer falls apart. The clear strainer lid yellows and they want $80.00 for a new one. Very hard to program and the programming instructions are wrong. Quiet when new but soon gets noisy. What a waste of $1500.00.
How you leave like on time out to running for 3 hrs and when the 3 hrs pass go back to Auto?
There currently is no Time Out Mode. But the newer version should have that mode.
Seem like Leslie's pushing jacuzzi brand more than other brands like hayward and pentair?
Yes. Mainly because they are in stock and available. The new line up is really good actually. Not there older stuff.
@@SPL hope they'll last just as long and durable as Hayward and Pentair?
Wow what a beautiful pump .......
Also Leslie's sold me the pump without the opening tool (plastics arm)
Maybe they can get you one.
How much does this pump cost
I see on this video a huge air bubble in the basket. I have similar issue from the day 1 after new pump was installed. The pump never 100% primed. I call to American leak detectors and they pressurized the suction lines and not found any leaks. Interesting that there no bubbles on returns, but water in the basket is about 3/4 of total volume. Do you have any idea why?
Would say it is the design of this pump. I have run into this with some Jandy pumps also.
@@SPL Thanks for response. Also I have sometime really loud sound. Hard to say from the pump or motor. For me sounds like a motor impeller touching the plastic housing, but not sure. Talk to Leslie's and they want to see the pump by end of the season. I still have 3 years of warranty, but really disappointed by the quality of this expensive pump
Is there any tips on timer set up? I have mine run at night. The guy before me ran it from 8-12on high and than 12-8 on low. I changed the settings to 4h-4m-4l. I have a diving pool in Arizona.
I think running in the daytime is better. That way you are circulating the water at the hottest time and when the sun is hitting the pool.
Are this instructions the same for the JVX300 pump? I just got mine installed and it also says to be blue tooth capable but so far I haven't seen no videos online how program it . any help or suggestions!
That is their newer version. I haven't put a video together for that one yet. I found this for you: cdn.lesliespool.com/wpdf/JVX-Pump-Bluetooth-App-Instructions.pdf
Any idea why the display would show “SAFE” and run at a lower speed?
No, but maybe you can call their support line.
Call me incompetent but how do I switch my timers between 1,2 and 3?
I have tried multiple times to figure it out on my own and looked through the manual. I must be completely blind and stupid but I am not finding it.
Justin Mosher Email me at SonoranSkyPools@Gmail.com I’ll walk you through it If you still have the issu
Can you do and egg timer on that pump to let it run for a couple hours after you service it?
It's a pretty basic pump so it technically doesn't have a "Time Out" Mode. What you can do it hit the "auto" power button and then a selected speed and it will turn on. Then the pump will run continuously until you turn it off. To get it back into it's timer mode you would hit the power button twice.
On my pump impeller melted in spite of I always ran the pump with water, never dry. And this part was not covered by warranty.
That is strange for sure.
@@SPL Also some time the pump make a loud noise and disappeared after couple minutes
same thing happened to me with JVX160. Could not figure out why
Hey this is Mark borosky I have a jvx300 and it just said I needed to update my firmware I need a four digit code to update my firmware does anybody know what the code is? And I am a certified pool
After priming I still have a big bubble under the lid. Is this OK? Pressure in send filter 12 bars. No air in the system and no bubles on return jets
I think you are fine.
@@SPL Thanks. Also I have another issue. After cleaning the basket and filling system with water the pump struggling to prime. So I just close the skimmer inlet and fill entire line with water. Than slightly open the skimmer and run to run the pump. This is helps but sometime is not. I never had this issue with my old pump. Also recently I had a pump leak and took pump to Leslie's. We find out that impeller and seal is melted after 4 month in service. NOTE: I never ran pump without water. Would you please explain? The pump & filter located about 50 ft. from skimmer and elevation about 27". The pump: Jacuzzi® J-VSP150
I run Jacuzzi J-VSP 150 pump with Jacuzzi J-SF24 sand filter with multi port. There is no air release valve. How to bleed air from the filter? Currently I'm using backwash
You may be able to install an air bleeder. Check with your local Leslie's manager.
@@SPL I did made the air bleeder and installed it. Interesting that when I primed the pump and checked air in the filter surprisingly found out that there no air. The bleeder bleed water without air. ;-) So there is no necessity to add air bleeder to Jacuzzi J-SF24 filter. lesson learned.
Just be aware there is a bug in the timer logic. I had my pump running for 2 year and then changed the start and stop time. The issue then was the pump didnt come on when it was supposed to. But I didnt know since it comes on at night when I'm at work. To fix it i had to go to the start time and go all the way down until it stopped. Then select the time - 10pm. Then do the same for the stop going all the way down till it stopped the. Going all the way up past 12am to get to 6am. The issue I think is it was making the stop happen before the start and then thought I dont have a stop so ill just not run. If any one else has seen this let me know.
Wonder if my issue is related? My VSP250 was tech programmed 2 years ago. I just decided to redo the timers etc, changing from 2 timers to 3 timers. The new settings started on time, high speed at 9pm. At 11pm it was supposed to change speeds on timer 2 to medium. At 11 the pump simply stopped running. It was all powered up still, just wan't running anymore. Screen showed 3450 rpm but not running. Dang. So I switched it to manual med speed to run overnight. Went out this morning and turned it OFF. Then switched it on to AUTO. On AUTO, it started right up into my Timer 3 settings on Low speed, going to 8 a.m. So Timer 1 worked, Timer 3 worked, but Timer 2 was "confused"... I'll have to try your method and see if I can get Timer 2 to run properly tonight.
I have a cuestión my pump doesn’t work it say error HIT do you know what happen?
Typically they have a 3 year warranty. Call your local Leslie's out.
Anyone know how to extend the Bluetooth range for this pump? TIA
same problem here
Does that come with a remote like the other Jandy pump
No remote and not compatible with automated systems. Just a basic VS pump.
Ok thanks 👍
Good afternoon. My question is about the starite pool pumps. Is there any other type of filter I can use for the starite or does it have to be the starite brand only.
Model # s7m120 starite
Any filter type will work.
@@SPL is their any filters you would recommend?
Depends on your pool size. How many gallons is it? And what do you currently have?
@@SPL it's a 20,000 gallon pool and right now I have the starite filters
You can replace it with a Pentair Clean & clear 420 Plus filter. Or you can switch over to a DE filter. I like the Pentair Quad DE filter.
What is the electric plug required
Hardwires into 220
Where can i get a jsp150
Most of these are now out of stock. I would go for the newer Jacuzzi version found at Leslie's
That pump seems loud. Compared to my single speed pump.
It's a bit louder than other VS pumps but pretty quiet at lower speeds,
On high i use my kreepy krawler. No booster pump needed
Same here. But sometime the noise is disappearing for several days and coming back for several hours. So there not continues noise
Any time out mode?
Not on this model.
@@SPL thanks I have one one my route and cant leave it running. Guess Im forced to leave it a little dirty without the chems getting stirred up. Im glad they're not common. I wish everyone had a vs intelliflo :)
How do i make it continuous run? And not turn off?
Program it from 1 pm to 12:59 pm. So it will run for 23:59 minutes. and then stay off for 1 minute and turn on again.
To run pump continuously on same speed I turned off the timer and looks like it's work.
@@dmitripress9853 How do you turn off the timer?
@@NLindellDC I don't remember exactly, but I think I put timer to Zero. This pump had a lots of issues and Leslie's exchange my Pump with newest Jacuzzi VSP165S made by Hayward for free. Just installed ;-)
HELP ! WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT TO MANUAL SO WE CAN PUT IT ON HIGH FOR 48 HOURS TO ADD PHOS FREE !!!!
There is no Time Out mode on this pump as far as I could find. You would just need to change a program to run 24 hours.
@@SPL Thank you for answering me... finally just held down the HIGH button, then it went back to the program - thanks !
