The ProMaster
TM
VSD Eco-Series has infinite speed settings from 1500
to 3600RPM, so you can circulate your pool or spa water at any speed
in between if required. Speeds can be adjusted to power a Suction pool
cleaner, In-Floor cleaning system & Pool Heaters. A Backwash setting on
the pump can be selected to backwash a media filter.
What to expect with VSD Eco speed pumping (energy efficient operation)
on your pool:
If your ProMaster
TM
pump is replacing a traditional AC motor pump, you will
need to run it longer than your old fixed speed pump. This is NORMAL and
you will save energy when using lower speed settings.
You may also notice that the pressure gauge on your filter is indicating
a much lower pressure than you are used to. This is also NORMAL. The
lower system pressure is simply a result of the lower speed and flow rate
produced by the pump.
While running at the lower speed settings you will also notice a significant
reduction in pump noise. This is a major benefit for you as it allows you to
run your pump during off peak electricity tariffs, which will also assist in the
reduction of your operating costs. Plus you will also have much happier
neighbours.
Important Considerations when running the pump on Low Flow settings:
Many pool products rely on particular minimum flow rates for best operation
and/or efficiency. If you are using the low flow setting on the ProMaster pump
(e.g.: speed 1 to 4) Davey recommends that you check the compatibility of
the speed or minimum flow rate required to run pool equipment such as:
• Suction pool cleaners
• Ozone generators
• Pool Heaters
• Solar Heating systems
• Salt Water Chlorinator cells
• In-floor pool cleaning systems
