Duplex Magflow Motor / Self-cleaning
The Hydratech Torrent pump has a unique impeller design. The self-cleaning
action impeller prevents large waste from blocking the impeller.
If an object becomes trapped the blades reverse direction cutting through soft
waste and throwing stones clear.
Duplex Magflow Electronic / Soft Start / Self-cleaning
Soft Start allows the motor to slowly accelerate when switched on and during
the self-cleaning cycle, increasing the life span of all moving parts.
IMPORTANT:
The duplex action of the impeller will cause noise and
intermittent flow on start up and during self-cleaning.
THIS IS NOT A
FAULT
. Electronic models incorporate a soft start cleaning cycle which
repeats every 30 seconds to clear the pump when blocked. Turning the
pump off and on may also restart the pump. If the self-cleaning action
cannot clear the blockage it will be necessary to manually remove the
object from the impeller following the maintenance instructions in section 6.
