START-UP PROCEDURE
Your ECO pump (variable speed pump) is designed for maximum energy efficiency whilst still
keeping your pool crystal clear. To maximise the energy efficiency, the ECO pump should be
run at the lowest speed setting possible to efficiently filter your pool water. It is recommended
that the first speed setting
(Green Button)
should be set to this filtration speed and used for at
least 6-8 hours per day, whilst the second speed setting
(Pink Button)
is set for use only with
automatic suction cleaners and used once a week only. The third speed setting
(Blue Button)
should be set to maximum speed and only used for backwashing and manual vacuuming.
Once the pump has been plumbed in and the glue has cured, it is time to prime the pump.
Follow the instructions below:
1.
Check all the connections are hand tight
2.
Remove the lid from the pump by turning the lock ring anti-clockwise - put these aside for
later use
3.
Fill the hair and lint pot with water to the bottom of the inlet (around 4 litres)
4.
Refit the lid and lock ring ensuring the O-ring is in place
5.
Open any inline valves. Make sure the filter multiport valve is not in the closed position.
6.
Switch on the power at the power supply and the ECO pump will automatically run the
“priming” mode (full speed) for 3 minutes. The pump should automatically prime within
this period but if it doesn’t please follow steps 1 through to step 6 again. Once the pump
has primed, select the first speed setting
(green)
and adjust the speed for best filtration
flow ensuring the salt chlorinator cell (if fitted) has filled with water.
NOTE: If pump has not primed after the second attempt, please contact your pool
professional to prevent damage to the mechanical seal occurring from insufficient
water flow.
