4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure the installation site is level, well-drained, and protected from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
- Verify that the electrical supply matches the pump's requirements (230V).
- Gather necessary tools: screwdriver, pipe wrench, PVC cement, primer, and appropriate wiring.
4.2 Plumbing Connections

- Apply PVC primer and cement to the pipe ends and the inside of the adapters.
- Securely attach the appropriate adapters to the pump's inlet and outlet ports.
- Connect your pool's plumbing lines to the pump, ensuring all connections are watertight.
4.3 Electrical Wiring
IMPORTANT: Electrical wiring should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before proceeding.

- Use a screwdriver to loosen the four screws on the control panel cover and gently remove it.
- Locate the junctions for L1 (Live), L2 (Neutral), and Grounding wires.
- Connect the L1 wire (typically white), L2 wire (typically black), and Grounding wire (typically green) to their respective terminals.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Replace the control panel cover and tighten the screws.
4.4 Priming the Pump
Before starting the pump for the first time or after draining, it must be primed to ensure it is filled with water.
- Ensure all valves are open to allow water flow from the pool to the pump.
- Remove the transparent lid and fill the strainer basket housing with water until it overflows.
- Replace the lid, ensuring it is securely tightened to prevent air leaks.
- Turn on the pump. It should begin to draw water and expel air. If water does not flow within a few minutes, turn off the pump, re-prime, and check for air leaks.
5. Operation
5.1 Control Panel Overview
The intelligent control panel allows for easy programming and monitoring of your pump.

The panel typically includes buttons for:
- Speed Selection (1-4): Allows selection of predefined or custom speeds.
- Time/Duration: For setting operational schedules.
- Quick Clean: Activates a temporary high-speed cycle for rapid filtration.
- Start/Stop: Manual control for turning the pump on or off.
- Display: Shows current speed, time, or error codes.
5.2 Setting Operating Schedules
The pump can be programmed to run at different speeds for specific durations throughout the day, optimizing energy consumption.
- Press the 'Setting' button to enter programming mode.
- Use the arrow buttons to navigate through speed settings (Speed 1-4) and their corresponding start times and durations.
- Adjust the RPM for each speed setting as desired. Lower RPMs consume less energy.
- Confirm settings to save the schedule. The pump will then operate according to the programmed schedule.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your pool pump.
6.1 Cleaning the Strainer Basket
The strainer basket should be inspected and cleaned regularly, especially after heavy use or storms.
