SilensorPro VSD Pool Pumps with Bluetooth have adjustable speed settings
from 1500 – 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 a variable speed pump on your pool:
If your SilensorPro 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.
Important considerations when running the pump on Low Flow settings:
Many pool products rely on specific minimum flow rates for best operation
and/or efficiency. If you are using low flow settings on the SilensorPro pump
(e.g. Speed 1 - 4), Davey recommends that you check the compatibility of the
speed or minimum flow rate required to run specific pool equipment such as:
• Suction pool cleaners
• Ozone generators
• Pool Heaters
• Solar Heating systems
• Salt Water Chlorinator cells
• In-floor pool cleaning systems
