Alphaflo ECO-V 100 Variable Speed
Pump Operating Guide
Alphaflo ECO-V 100 is equipped with the very latest variable 3 speed permanent
magnet brushless DC motor; Alphaflo ECO-V 100 is capable of lowering its energy
usage & reducing its operating noise levels.
Energy Saving
A pool filtration system does not require to be operated at a pump’s maximum water
flow rate. In fact, your pool’s filtration efficiency improves at lower flow rates. As a pool’s
filtration cycle occupies 99% of the run time of a pool pump, you can operate the Alphaflo
ECO-V 100 on its low (ECO) speed setting for a majority of its running time, leading to a
potential 80% savings in energy.
Alphaflo ECO-V 100’s Variable 3 speed options
Alphaflo ECO-V 100 has 3 factory set speed options ECO (Low), MED & HIGH but
with the additional advantage of fine adjustment in operating speed with 25 RPM
increments, allowing fine tuning of the pump’s motor speed to perfectly match the
flow requirements of the swimming pool, maximising energy savings and minimising
pump noise. The Alphaflo ECO-V 100 operates most economically and with the lowest
noise level using the ECO (Low) speed option. The Alphaflo ECO-V 100 has a variable
speed control, ranging from 1000 to 2850 RPM (revolutions per minute). The pump’s
RPM can be viewed on the control panel display.
ECO (Low 1900 RPM):
Filtration – 99% of the time
Most economical speed for the purpose of operating
the pool’s filtration system without any ancillary pool
equipment attached to the re-circulation system. E.g.
suction cleaners.
Medium (2400 RPM):
Automatic pool cleaners
This speed will enable the operation additional pool
equipment for pool cleaning functions that require the
use of suction cleaners and low pressure spa jets.
High (2850 RPM):
Vacuuming and backwash – 1% of the
time
Power speed selection for use with backwashing granular
media filters (e.g. sand filters), manual pool vacuuming
and operating pool equipment with high water pressure
requirements. E.g. water features and spa jets.
Stop:
This will cancel any variable adjustments made outside of the above three
factory settings.
Power:
This will be lit whenever the pump is operating.
Error:
If this is lit you will be required to contact your pool equipment supplier/store
for maintenance advise.
Note:
The ECO (Low) speed option is specifically designed to operate a standard pool
filtration and recirculation system, but can be fine tuned with 25 RPM increments to
suit an individual pool’s flow requirement.
Adjusting Low (ECO), MED and HIGH Speed Settings
1. While the Alphaflo ECO-V 100 is operating press and hold the required speed
setting button for 3 seconds or until the indicator light is flashing. This will allow
the factory setting to be adjusted either down or up in RPM’s.
2. To decrease the speed of a factory speed setting select and press the speed button,
the indicator light will begin to flash. Press the ECO with down arrow button, to
decrease the RPM by 25 RPM each time you press the button, until you reach the
desired operating RPM.
Note:
The minimum operating RPM limit is 1000 RPM.
3. To increase the speed of a factory speed setting select
and press the speed button , this will then have the
flashing indicator light. Press the HIGH with up arrow
button as this will increase the RPM by 25 RPM each time you press
until you reach the desired operating RPM.
Note:
The maximum operating RPM limit is 25 RPM less than the
next factory speed setting.
Example:
Low (ECO 1900 RPM) upper RPM limit is 2375 RPM, 25
RPM below MED factory setting of 2400 RPM.
4. To save this variable speed adjustment hold MED/OK button for 5
seconds to return to normal operating mode.
Please ensure that the correct pump speed is selected in accordance
to the pool equipment and adequately meets the pool’s requirements.
