Operating the Pump While Running
If power is connected to the pump motor, pressing any of the following buttons referred to in this section could result in
the motor starting. Failure to recognize this could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
Pressing the
Display
button will cycle through the current parameters.
Speed —
current run speed
Time
— current time of day
Duration
— amount of time remaining at the current run speed
Watts
— amount of watts currently being consumed
Pressing any of the Speed Buttons (
“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “Quick Clean”
) while the pump is running will act as temporary
override. It will run the speed and duration that is programmed for that button. Once completed it will default back to the
appropriate point in the programmed schedule.
NOTICE:
If you adjust the speeds of the schedule while the pump is running, it will run the adjusted speed for the
rest of the current duration, but will not save the adjustments.
MAINTENANCE
DO NOT open the strainer pot if Variable Speed Pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the
strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain
scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal
injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open
with extreme caution.
To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets
regularly.
Pump Strainer Basket
The pump strainer basket (or ‘strainer pot’, ‘hair and lint pot’), is located in front of the volute. Inside the chamber is the
basket which must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View basket through the ‘See Through Lid’ to inspect
for leaves and debris.
Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the basket at least once
a week.
Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket
1.
Press the
Start/Stop
button to stop the pump and turn off the pump at the circuit breaker.
2.
Relieve pressure in the system by allowing the water to cool.
3.
Gently tap the clamp in a counter-clockwise direction to remove the clamp and lid.
4.
Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace the basket if it is cracked.
