2. General Information

2.1. Introduction

This manual contains information for the proper installation and operation of the Hayward Super Pump Variable Speed Pump. The instructions in this manual MUST be followed precisely.

2.2. Primary Features

• Totally enclosed, permanent magnet motor
• Advanced hydraulic design
• Fully programmable with a self-contained 24-hour clock and up to 3 custom speed and timer functions
• Digital control interface mountable in two positions
• Motor drive includes built-in protection for high temperatures and voltage fluctuations, and is designed to withstand temperatures below freezing.

2.3. Product Dimensions

The pump has the following approximate dimensions:

• Length: 9.39 inches (7.63 inches for pump body, 8.63 inches total)
• Width: 9.31 inches (8.94 inches for motor base)
• Height: 10.88 inches (7.75 inches for pump body, 12.25 inches total with motor)

3. Energy Efficiency Overview

Pump energy consumption is measured in Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW). The Super Pump VS displays power consumption in Watts. To determine operating cost:

Power consumption (W) X Cost of electricity ($/kWh) / 1000 = Cost of Pump Operation per Hour

Example: A pump operating at 370 W with electricity at $0.10/kWh:

370 W = 0.370 kW

0.370 kW X $0.10/kWh = $0.04 per hour

Lowering pump speed drastically reduces power consumption. Benefits of running at low speeds include:

• Save electricity and money
• Improved filtration (slower water allows filter to capture smaller particles)
• Quiet operation
• Reduced Total Dynamic Head (less stress on equipment, potentially lengthening equipment life)

When determining pump speed, consider minimum requirements for sanitation and equipment/water feature functionality. It is recommended to filter all pool water at least once every 24 hours (check local turnover rate requirements). Running at lower speeds may require longer run times.

Equipment like heaters, skimmers, and chlorinators require minimum flows. Refer to individual equipment manuals for specific flow requirements.

After setting pump speeds, verify all other equipment/water features are functioning as intended. For example, check water flow over skimmer weirs during low-speed filtration. Use higher speeds for shorter periods for heaters or water features.

4. Installation and Wiring

[WARNING] - This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.

4.1. Pump Location

Locate the pump as close to the pool as practical, with direct suction lines to minimize friction loss. Suction lines should slope upward from the lowest point. Joints must be tight. Suction line diameter must be equal to or larger than the discharge line diameter.

Although designed for outdoor use, place the pump and filter in the shade to shield them from direct heat. Select a well-drained area that will not flood. Do NOT install in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep the motor clean and ensure free circulation of air for cooling.

4.2. Pump Mounting

Install the pump on a level concrete slab or other rigid base meeting all local and national codes. Secure the pump to the base with screws or bolts to reduce vibration and stress on pipe joints. The base must be level, rigid, and vibration-free.

Pump mount must:

• Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
• Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
• Allow for valves in suction and discharge piping.
• Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.
• Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.

4.3. Pipe Sizing Chart

The following chart shows maximum recommended system flow rate by pipe size:

Note: It is recommended that a minimum length of straight piping (equivalent to 5 pipe size diameters) be used between the pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings (elbows, valves, etc.).

When installing the Super Pump VS, ensure proper pipe and equipment sizing to handle the maximum flow required. Set the maximum speed to not exceed the maximum flow rate.

[WARNING] - Hazardous Pressure. Pumps, filters, and other equipment/components of a swimming pool filtration system operate under pressure. Incorrectly installed or improperly tested equipment may fail, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

4.4. Plumbing

1. Use Teflon tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. Use new or thoroughly cleaned fittings. Do NOT use Plumber's Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of plastic components.
2. When applying Teflon tape to plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the male fitting with one to two layers of tape, winding clockwise. Do NOT force hose connector fittings past the molded-in thread stops. Tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage (hand tight plus an additional 1 1/2 turns with a tool). Use care as Teflon tape reduces friction; do NOT over-tighten.
3. Fittings (elbows, tees, valves, etc.) restrict flow. Use the fewest possible fittings and avoid fittings that could cause an air trap. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to IAPMO standards.

4.5. Electrical

[WARNING] - All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC).

[WARNING] – Ground and bond pump before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground and bond can cause serious or fatal electrical shock. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line. Turn OFF power to pump before working on electrical connections. Fire Hazard - match supply voltage to pump nameplate voltage. Ensure electrical supply agrees with pump's voltage, phase, and cycle, and that wire size is adequate for amps rating and distance from power source. Use copper conductors only.

4.6. Electrical Specs

1. Voltage: 230VAC, 60Hz, Single Phase
2. Amps: 5.9
3. Speed Range: 600-3000 rpm

Use copper conductors only. For indoor & outdoor use. Connect pump to a 15 amp branch circuit in accordance with local codes, regulations, and the NEC. A disconnecting means located at least 5 ft. from the inside wall of the pool, spa, or hot tub must be provided.

4.7. Voltage

Voltage at the pump MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below nameplate rated voltage, or components may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% (207 V) or more than 110% (253 V) of rated voltage (230 V) when pump is running at full load, consult the power company.

4.8. Grounding and Bonding

1. Install, ground, bond, and wire pump in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.
2. Permanently ground pump using the green ground screw provided in the wiring compartment. Use code-required wire size and type. Connect to electrical service ground.
3. Bond pump to pool structure. Bonding connects all metal parts within and around the pool with a continuous wire, reducing the risk of current passing between bonded metal objects, which could cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards.
4. Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm²) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector on the motor housing and to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.

4.9. Wiring

[WARNING] - All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC).

1. Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are on the same circuit, add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the circuit breaker as the master On-Off switch.
2. If replacing a pump controlled by a mechanical time clock, connect the Super Pump VS directly to the line power supply, bypassing the time clock. The time clock can then be used to power other equipment (heater, heat pump, booster pump) that requires the filter pump to be operating. Set the time clock to power equipment during cycles when the Super Pump VS is operating at appropriate flow rates.

4.10. Digital Control Interface Orientation

The Digital Control Interface can be rotated to front or rear positions after installation. Loosen the four screws securing the interface to the motor drive (using a 3mm hex wrench), lift the interface, rotate it to the desired position, and retighten the screws. Avoid placing strain on wires. Ensure the o-ring seal is clean and properly located before reattaching the interface.

4.11. Installation Procedure

Please review sections 4.1 through 4.9 before continuing.

1. TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
2. Remove the wiring access cover on the motor drive by loosening the four (4) screws.
3. Connect 230VAC line power supply wiring to the terminal block and ground screw as shown in the Input Power Wiring diagram (Section 5.1).
4. Connect the pump to the pool bonding system using 8AWG (6AWG for Canada) wire. A lug for bonding is provided on the outside of the drive enclosure.
5. After all electrical connections are made, replace the wiring access cover on the motor drive, ensuring motor lead wires are routed without interference. Tighten the supplied screws.
6. Apply power to the system and proceed to the "Configuration Menu" (Section 6.6).

6.1. Prior to Start-Up

If a water pressure test is necessary to ensure plumbing system function:

1. Have a professional perform this test.
2. Ensure all Hayward pump and system components are removed from the system prior to performing the test.

[WARNING] - If circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during a water pressure test, do not apply more than 10 psi pressure. Release water pressure using the filter manual air relief valve before removing the pump strainer cover.

[WARNING] - All suction and discharge valves, as well as the filter air relief valve (if available), MUST be OPEN when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.

6.2. Starting/Priming the Pump

Refer to Section 6.6 for priming time selection.

Fill the strainer housing with water to the suction pipe level. If leakage occurs, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from the pump/filter and start the pump.

[WARNING] – Return to filter to close filter manual air relief valve when a steady stream of water (not air or air and water mix) is discharged. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.

[ATTENTION] - NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal. Running the pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and voiding the warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting the motor.

[ATTENTION] – Do NOT add chemicals to the pool/spa system directly in front of the pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage the pump and void the warranty.

[ATTENTION] - Before removing strainer cover:

1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system using the filter manual air relief valve.
4. Remove strainer cover and fill strainer housing with water.
5. Clean and lubricate strainer cover gasket with "Jack's 327" if necessary.
6. Replace strainer cover, flip up hand knobs, and turn clockwise to tighten. Tighten hand knobs by hand only.
7. OPEN VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.

Turn on power and wait for the pump to prime, which can take up to ten (10) minutes. Priming time depends on suction lift and pipe length. If the pump does NOT prime within 10 minutes, stop the motor and determine the cause. Ensure all suction and discharge valves are open when the pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.

10.1. Parts Diagram

The diagram shows various parts of the pump assembly. The table lists the reference number, part number, description, and quantity for each component.

11. Troubleshooting

11.1. General Problems

• Motor Will NOT Start:
  • Check terminal board connections against wiring diagram.
  • Ensure pump is wired for available field supply voltage (230VAC).
  • Check for and correct improper/loose wiring connections, open switches/relays, tripped breakers, or blown fuses.
  • Manually check motor shaft rotation for free movement or obstruction.
• Motor Shuts OFF:
  • Check for low voltage or power drop at the motor (often caused by undersized wiring). Contact a qualified professional.
  • If the pump experiences an intermittent power failure, the pump will stop the motor. Press RUN/STOP or cycle power to resume.
• Motor Hums, But Does NOT Start:
  • Impeller may be jammed with debris. Have a qualified professional open the pump and remove debris.
• Pump Won't Prime:
  • Empty pump/strainer housing. Ensure housing is filled with water and cover gasket is clean, properly seated, and lubricated.
  • Tighten pipe/union connections on the suction side. Check for suction air leaks (bubbles from return fittings indicate leaks).
  • Check for leaking O-rings or packing glands on valves.
  • Clean debris from strainer basket or skimmer basket. Refill strainer housing with water and tighten cover.
  • Check for suction side clogging. A qualified professional can check vacuum at the strainer cover (should be 5"-6"). If no suction is felt, check for line blockage. If the pump develops a vacuum, check for a blocked suction line or dirty strainer basket. An air leak in the suction piping may be the cause. If the pump does not develop a vacuum and has sufficient priming water, re-check strainer housing cover and threaded connections for leaks, check hose clamps, check voltage, and check impeller for debris. Replace shaft seal only if it is leaking.
• Low Flow - Generally:
  • Clogged or restricted strainer or suction line. Contact a qualified professional.
  • Undersized pool piping. Correct piping size.
  • Plugged or restricted discharge line or filter. Backwash filters or clean/replace cartridges as needed.
  • Air leak in suction (bubbles from return fittings). Re-tighten suction/discharge connections and check other plumbing connections.
  • Plugged, restricted, or damaged impeller. Replace the impeller and seal assembly.
• Noisy Pump:
  • Air leak in suction piping, cavitations from restricted/undersized suction line, leaks at joints, low water level, or unrestricted discharge return lines. Correct suction condition or throttle return lines.
  • Vibration due to improper mounting. Mount pump on a level surface and secure it.
  • Foreign debris in housing or loose stones hitting impeller. Clean pump housing.
  • Motor bearings may be noisy from wear, rust, overheating, or chemical damage allowing chlorinated water to seep into bearings. Replace shaft seals if leaking.

11.2. Error Codes

If an internal issue is detected, the drive will turn the motor off and display "Err" with an error code. If multiple errors occur, the screen will cycle through them. Investigate and resolve the cause before resuming operation. Press RUN/STOP or cycle power to resume.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the error, the problem may be internal to the motor/drive. Contact your local Hayward Authorized Service Center (HASC).
