To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
BEWARE OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In order to prevent a ground fault from occurring in this unit, a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) must be installed on its supply circuit. The installer should install an appropriate GFCl and test it regularly. When you press the test button, the power supply should be interrupted, and when you press the reset button, the power should return. lf this is not the case, the GFCl is defective. lt is possible that an electric shockmay occur if the GFCl interrupts power to a pump without the test button being pressed. Unplug the pump and contact a qualified electrician to replace the GFCl. Never use a pump with a defective GFCl. Always testthe GFCl before use.
CAUTION For Above Ground Pool pumps, it is for use with storable pools only. Do not use
with permanently-installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.For In Ground Pool pumps, Unless otherwise noted, this pump is intended for use with permanent swimming pools and hot tubs and spas if they are appropriately marked. It should not be used for storable pools.

Drive Overview:
The pump is equipped with a variable speed, high efficiency motor that provides flexibility in terms of motor speed. There are settings for duration and intensity. Pumps are designed to run continuously maintaining a sanitary environment at the lowest possible speed, minimizing the consumption of energy while protecting the environment.
DANGER
Pump is rated for 115/208-230 Volts nominal, Only for pool pumps. Connecting incorrect voltage or use in
other applications may cause damage, personal injury or damage to
equipment.
The integrated electronics interface controls the speed and the duration of the run. The pumps can operate at speeds ranging from 450 to 3450 revolutions per minute (RPM). The pump is designed to operate within the voltage range of 115/280-230 volts at either 50 or 60Hz input frequency.
It is usually best to set the pump following our factory setting in order to minimize energy consumption; the fastest speed for the longest duration leads to more consumption of energy. However, the optimal settings can be influenced by a number of factors, such as the size of the pool, environmental conditions and the number of water features. Pumps can be programmed according to adapt to your specific needs.
First Start
1. Before starting the pump, make sure the pump basket and pipes are
completely filled with water, and that the water level in the basket is high.
2. Place the wet end lid in position and turn it counterclockwise until the
90°
lid’s ears are 90 degrees from the pump.
3. Check the pipe joints for leaks, then start the variable speed pool pump.
7. CAUTION To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pool.
Wiring Position: We recommend 12AWG Wire gauge and a regular 20A GFCI. If the 115V input trips, replace with a regular GFCI with 15A or more.
For 115V/60HZ input: Terminal L1 (Live Wire), Terminal N (Neutral Wire), Terminal G (Ground Wire). This applies to SHP130-VS & SHP130-VSC & SFP220-VS.
For 208-230V/60HZ input: Terminal L1 (Live Wire 1), Terminal L2 (Live Wire 2), Terminal G (Ground Wire). This applies to SFP220-VS & SWP390-VS.
WARNING- Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
WARNING-To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
WARNING-Beware of accidental leakage, do not place the water pump in the open environment.
WARNING- To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet. 11.WARNING Risk of Electric Shock. For Above Ground Pool pumps, Connect only to a grounding type receptacle. This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. If replacement of the plug or cord is needed, use only identical replacement parts.
For 208-230V/50HZ input: Terminal (Live Wire), Terminal (Neutral Wire),Terminal Wire). This applies to SFP220-VS & SWP390-VS.
