When the Quick Clean duration ends, the pump resumes the 24 hour schedule at the
point where it normally would be running at that time. The Quick Clean duration will not affect
the start or stop times of the 24 hour schedule. For example, if Quick Clean runs during a period
overlapping with a later part of SPEED 1 and an early part of SPEED 2, the start time of SPEED 3 is
not affected.

key for more than three (3) seconds will cancel Quick Clean
mode.
Note:
During the Quick Clean mode, the pump will not start with the priming sequence.
Note:
It is recommended that you do not set the Quick Clean duration to 0 HRS. Setting the
Quick Clean duration to 0 HRS will not allow you to change the duration setting while the motor
is running. The motor will have to be stopped in order to change the Quick Clean settings if the
duration is set to 0 HRS.

Figure 8: Setting Duration for Quick Clean
Quick Clean
The WhisperFlo VS 1500 Variable Speed Pump is equipped with a Quick Clean feature, which can be
engaged to temporarily run at higher or lower speeds ranging between 300 to 3150 RPM. Once the
Quick Clean duration has elapsed, the pump will automatically return to the programmed schedule.
The installer should set the priming speed to be sufficient for priming the pump from a
fresh install, but not so fast that there is a substantial waste of energy during the 5 minute
priming window. The time the pump needs to achieve prime can change based on local
environmental conditions such as water temperature, atmospheric pressure, and your pool’s
water level. All of these things should be taken into consideration when setting the priming
speed, however in most cases the pump will not need to run at 3150 RPM to successfully
prime itself.
Please test and verify chosen priming speeds more than once, letting the water drain from
the system in between each test.
Note:
The pump strainer basket should always remain full to the bottom of the inlet in order to
prevent air from entering the system.
Key lockout will not prevent the motor from being stopped by pressing the Start/Stop button. It
will then be unable to be restarted until the keypad has been unlocked. If the motor is operating
in Keypad Lockout mode, and being controlled through external controls, it can only run when
the Start/Stop LED is illuminated.
The WhisperFlo VS 1500 Variable Speed Pump user interface has a Keypad Lockout feature to
prevent unwanted changes to the settings. When locked, the keypad will only accept input from
pressing the
Display
button to cycle the displayed information on the screen and input to stop the
motor from a press of
Start/Stop
button.
The keypad can be locked by pressing and holding the“
1
” button and the
Quick Clean
button at the
same time for at least three seconds. “Loc On” will be displayed if successful.
To unlock the keypad press and hold the “
1
” button and the
Quick Clean
button at the same time for at
least three seconds. “Loc OFF” will be displayed if successful.
Note:
While operating in Keypad Lockout mode the motor can still be stopped by pressing the
Start/
Stop
button. However, the motor can not be started
again until the user unlocks the keypad.
