WARNING
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
****CAUTION  This pump is intended for use on permanently installed swimming pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do NOT use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. Though this product is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical components from the weather.
Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. It requires free circulation of air for cooling. Do not install in a damp or non- ventilated location. If installed within an outer enclousere or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa, adequate ventilation and free circulation of air must be provided to prevent overheating of the motor.

WARNING – Pool and spa components have a finite life. All components should be inspected frequently and replaced at least every ten years, or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified electrical contractor, and must conform to electrical regulations and AS/NZ 3000 Wiring Rules. All electrical circuits must be supplied through a Residual Current Device – RCD (Safety Switch), with a residual operating current of 30mA. Hazardous voltage can shock, burn and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to the electricity supply.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate the power cord to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
WARNING – Never operate the circulation system at more than (50PSI) 344Kpa maximum.
WARNING – Automatic restart. The pump motor is automatically protected from overload and overheating.
If such an error occurs the controller will automaticly try to restart the pump. If a power failure occurs while the pump is running, it will automatically restart once the power has been restored.

****WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start-up, normal operation, and after pump shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during pump start- up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover due to pressure in the system. This separation which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in the off position and the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve must be in the open position. Before starting the system pump, all valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change the Filter Control Valve position while the system pump is running. Before starting the system pump, fully open the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve. Do not close the Filter Manual Air Relief valve until all the air is expelled and a steady stream of water is discharged from the valve. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING – Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with the strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if system components are not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless the Filter Air Relief Valve body is in locked position within the filter upper body. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING – Suction Entrapment Hazard. Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers, which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards.
Hair Entrapment – Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment – A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of he limb.
Body Suction Entrapment – A differential pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.
Evisceration/Disembowelment – A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment – There is potential for jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, fingers, toes, or knuckles to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

WARNING – To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:

  • When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of 0.91 metres or three feet (3’) apart, as measured from near point to near point to avoid duel blockage by a user.
  • Duel suction fittings shal not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
  • Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
  • Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
  • In addition to installing two or more suction outlets per pump, follow all national, state and local codes applicable.
  • Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.

Installation Instructions

WARNING – This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.
Pump Location

Locate pump as close to pool as practical and run suction lines as direct as possible to reduce friction loss. Suction lines should have continuous slope upward from lowest point in line. Joints must be tight (but not over- tightened). Suction line must not be less than 50mm in diameter and must be equal to or larger in diameter than the discharge line diameter.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is advised to place pump and filter in the shade to shield them from continuous direct heat. Select a well- drained area that will not flood when it rains. Do NOT install pump and filter in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
Pump Mounting
Install pump on a level concrete slab or other rigid base to meet all local and national codes. Secure pump to base with screws or bolts to further 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.

  • NOTE : It is recommended that a minimum length of straight piping (shown as “L” in diagram to the right), equivalent to 5 pipe size diameters, be used between the pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings (elbows, valves, ect).

Plumbing
Only use Teflon tape or an elastomeric thread sealant suitable for plastic, to seal threaded connections on moulded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or thoroughly cleaned before use.
Note – Do Not use Plumbers Pipe Dope or Plumbers Putty as it may cause cracking of the plastic components.
The pump suction and outlet ports have moulded in-thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force threaded connector fitting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then use a tool to engage the fitting an additional 1½ turns. Do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause damage. If a leak occurs, remove the fitting and remove all traces of the sealing compound from thread. Re apply fresh sealing compound and
re-install the threaded fitting.
Note – If the pump is being installed using the standard Hayward Universal Union that is supplied with the pump then there is no need to apply any type of thread sealant. The union gasket supplied is suffice to seal.
Fittings (elbows, tees, valves, ect.) restrict flow. For better efficiency use the fewest possible fittings. Avoid fittings that could cause an air trap.

WARNING – If circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during water pressure test, do not apply more than 68 Kpa (10psi) pressure to the system. Be sure water pressure has been released, using the filter manual air relief valve, before removing the pump strainer cover.
Electrical
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified electrical contractor, and must conform to electrical regulations and AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules. All electrical circuits must be supplied through a Residual Current Device – RCD (Safety Switch), with a residual operating current of 30mA. Hazardous voltage can shock, burn and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to the electricity supply, or if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacture, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
CAUTION – Lightning Surge Protector Recommended. Due to the VSP containing electronic components like a personal computer, Hayward recommends that a surge protector device (SPD) is installed on the feed circuit to the pump by a qualified electrical contractor in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 Australian Wiring Rules.

Bonding
All conductive parts within and around the pool shall be connected together by equipotential bonding conductors and connected to the protective earthing conductor of the electrical equipment as stated in AS/NZS 3000.

Omni Logic to VSP – HUA Access Guide

Overview
Configuring the OmniLogic to control your variable speed pump (VSP) requires multiple steps that must be performed in sequence. If the procedure is not followed in the proper order, the pump will not operate as intended. Typically, the
configuration of the VSP would take place during the initial configuration of the OmniLogic. Read this guide and the Installation Manual before attempting to install your VSP.
Wiring
The OmniLogic can control the VSP whether it’s plugged directly into an outside GPO or to one of the OmniLogic’s HV relay controlled GPOs. Determine which method will be used and then install the pump according to the Installation Manual.
Configuration
Configuration steps will vary depending on which wiring method is used. In both cases, the pump will have to be powered before the OmniLogic can initiate communication. Once the VSP has been discovered and configured, the OmniLogic will take control based on the user settings (see OmniLogic Operation Manual). Read carefully and follow the steps below when installing the variable speed pump.

If VSP is Plugged into an Outside GPO

If powering from an outside GPO, it’s best to power the VSP continuously (we recommend NOT using a timeclock).
If the VSP will not be powered continuously, ensure that it will be powered throughout the intended run time.

  1. Turn on power to the VSP. If this is the first time it’s been powered, the pump will start in prime mode.
    If so, go to the pump and press the RUN/STOP button once to put it in Standby mode.

  2. On the VSP, enter the CONFIG Menu by holding down the DISP/FUNC button until CONFIG is displayed and then scroll through by repeatedly pressing the DISP/ FUNC button until “485” is displayed.

  3. Use the UP or DOWN arrow button to toggle between “y” & “nso the display reads “485 y”.

  4. Press the DISP/ FUNC button to save the selection. The VSP is now in RS485 Controlled Mode and will allow the OmniLogic to discover the HUA of the pump.

  5. At the OmniLogic, enter the the Configuration Wizard (no password is needed during initial configuration).
    If a password is required, use your MSP ID which can be found in System Info (see Operation Manual).

  6. Advance through the Configuration Wizard. When you get to “Filter Pumps”, configure the VSP as described in the OmniLogic Installation Manual.

  7. Save and exit the Configuration Wizard.

  8. You can now set a schedule for the VSP (refer to the OmniLogic Operation Manual).

If VSP is Plugged into an OmniLogic HV Relay Controlled GPO
If the VSP is contolled by one of the OmniLogic’s HV relays, it will not be powered until after the assigned HV relay is configured and set to operate. Without power to the pump, the OmniLogic will not be able to discover the VSP.
Therefore, configuring the pump requires two separate configurations; one for the HV relay (performed first) and one for the VSP (performed last).

  1. Enter the OmniLogic Configuration Wizard (no password needed during initial configuration). If a password is required, use your MSP ID which can be found in System Info and write it down (see Operation Manual).

  2. Advance through the Configuration Wizard.
    When you get to “Filter Pumps”, add the VSP but skip over blank HUA screen.

  3. Continue through the Configuration Wizard. When you get to “Accessories”, determine which HV relay is wired to the VSP GPO and configure it as an accessory named “VSP Power”.

  4. Finish the configuration, save and exit the Configuration Wizard.

  5. From the Home Screen, go to the “VSP Power” accessory and set a schedule to run from 12:00am to 11:59pm (this is the longest daily timer possible). This schedule controls the input power to the pump only, not the actual run time of the pump (see Step 12). Be aware that the pump will receive power immediately after this schedule is set.
    If this is the first time that the VSP has been powered, it will start in prime mode. If so, go to the pump and press the RUN/STOP button once to put it in Standby mode.

  6. On the VSP, enter the CONFIG Menu by holding down the DISP/ FUNC button until CONFIG is displayed and then scroll through by repeatedly pressing DISP/ FUNC button until “rS485” is displayed.

  7. Use the UP or DOWN arrow button to toggle between “y” & “in” so the display reads “rS485 y”.

  8. Press the DISP/FUNC button to save the selection. The VSP is now in RS485 Controlled Mode and will allow the OmniLogic to discover the HUA of the pump.

  9. On the OmniLogic go to System Info and write down your MSP ID. (this is the password when you enter the Configuration Wizard)

  10. Enter the Configuration Wizard and edit the existing configuration. Go back to the VSP configuration and there should now be an HUA for the pump.

  11. Select the VSP’s HUA, (for cross-reference the HUA is listed on the pump label found on the user interface) save and exit the Configuration Wizard.

  12. You can now set a schedule for the VSP (refer to the OmniLogic Operation Manual).

Start Up & Operation

Prior to start-up, if it is necessary to perform a water pressure test prior to the initial use to ensure the plumbing system is functioning properly, then the following criteria should be maintained for this test:

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

WARNING – All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as the Filter Air Relief Valve (if available) on filter, when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.

Priming the pump
Make sure to release all the pressure from the pump and the piping system using the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve (if available). Close the valves in the suction and discharge lines and remove the strainer cover. Fill the strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs re-install the strainer cover and ensure the Suction, Discharge, and Filter Air Relief Valves are open.
Stand at least 2.5 metres from the pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the pump.
ATTENTION – Never operate the pump without water. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal. Never run the pump dry. Running the pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and voids warranty. Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly to the pump housing or directly in front of the pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage the pump and voids warranty.

Starting the pump
To start the pump, make sure all the suction and discharge valves are open, and the Manual Air Relief Valve on the filter is fully open (if filter has one). Turn the power on at the power point and then press the “Run/Stop” button on the
motor interface. Stand back while the pump primes. Due to system variances like suction lift, and the length of the suction line, five minutes is not an unreasonable length of time for priming. Only close the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve
once a steady stream of water (not air or air mixed with water) is discharging from the valve. To adjust the speed of the pump please refer to the “User Interface Overview” on pages six (6) through nine (9).
If the pump will not start or prime please refer to the troubleshooting section on page fifteen (15).
Selecting the correct speed setting
To maximise efficiency and performance it is important to select the appropriate speed setting for your specific requirements. As shown on page eight (8) in the user configuration menu, speed V1, V2, and V3 can be easily adjusted and set at any speed from 600 rpm to 2850 rpm. Please consult a pool professional for correct sizing, model selection, speed adjustment/setting, and installation advice to suit your pool.

This table shows the approximate flow rate in litres per minute at the factory speed settings.
Note : All flow rates in this table are based on maximum speed at 8m Total Dynamic Head. Refer to performance curves on page seventeen (17) for further information.

Model| Flow Rate
l/min| Total Head
Loss M| RPM| Maximum total head
---|---|---|---|---
ESP2300HVS| 300| 7.| 2850| 14 m
238| 5.| 2280|
120| 1.0| 1190|

Recommended minimum speed for filtration
This table shows what the minimum speed setting is that we recommend to set the VSD to for filtration purposes and is the speed used to achieve the Star Rating and Energy Efficiency as shown on the Energy Rating Label.

Model| Speed V1
RPM| Flow
Umin| Total Head
Dynamic| Noise
dBA| Star Rating
---|---|---|---|---|---
ESP2300HVS| 1190| 120| 1 m| 46| 10

The pump has been independently tested to AS 5102.

Filter (V1 Low Speed) – This speed will meet the daily requirements for most private use pools, adjusted to correct pool size, depending on the model of pump used and the RPM it is adjusted too.
Boost (V2 Med Speed) – This speed can be used for the operation of Automatic Pool Cleaners, or to increase the flow for the operation of pool accessories or at times of heavy bather load.
Turbo (V3 High Speed) – Use this speed for backwashing and operation of accessories that may require extra flow for specific functions, such as Spa Jets and Water Features.

Energy Usage Overview

The energy consumed by a pool pump is measured in Watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). The range of EcoStar Variable Speed Pumps display, on the motor interface, the power consumption in Watts. Given this information it is very easy to determine the cost of operating the pump:

Power consumption of pump X cost of electricity = Cost of Pump Operation per Hour
Example: EcoStar Variable Speed Pump operating at 200 W. Cost of electricity = $0.22 per kWh
200W = 0.2 kW
0.2 kW X $0.22/kWh = $0.04 per hour

  • NOTE : The power consumption is greatly effected by the speed of which the pump operates. Lowering the speed of the pump can dramatically reduce the power that is consumed. Below are some of the major benefits of running the pump at lower speeds.
    Benefits of operating at low speeds

    • Save electricity and money. A reduction in Pump Speed of 50% will reduce power consumption by up to 75%
    • Better filtration – the filter can often remove smaller particles when the water moves slower
    • Quiet operation, so therefore it is very unlikely to be intrusive to your neighbours
    • Reduced Total Dynamic Head – less stress on equipment (e.g. filter) which can extend equipment life

When determining the speed(s) to operate your pump, you must also take into account the minimum requirements for proper sanitation and equipment/water feature functionality.
It is recommended you filter (”turnover”) all the water in the pool at least once every 24 hours. Check with local requirements for the minimum turnover rate. Running the pump at lower speed may require running the pump for a longer period of time in order to meet the turnover requirements for proper sanitation.
Equipment such as heaters, skimmers, and chlorinators require minimum flows to operate correctly. Refer to the individual equipment manuals for specific requirements for low flow operation.
After setting the pump speed(s), it is recommended you check all other equipment/water features are functioning as intended. For example, when running at low speed for daily filtration, verify that the water is adequately flowing over the skimmer weirs. Operate the pump at higher speeds for the shorter periods of time needed to operate a heater, water feature, times of increased bather load, ect.

Maintenance

  • Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike the basket to clean it. Inspect the strainer cover gasket regularly and replace it as necessary.
  • Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
  • Keep the motor clean. Ensure the air vents and fan are free from obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use water to hose off the motor.
  • Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced due to wear or damage. Replace with a genuine Hayward seal assembly kit only.
  • Do NOT use petroleum based lubricants on gaskets, o-rings, or plastic components. Use silicone based only.
  • NOTE – Tighten the strainer cover lock ring and the union nuts by hand only (no wrenches).

Shaft Seal Change Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

When servicing electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be observed including the following.
Failure to follow the instructions may result in injury.

  • Disconnect the pump motor power cord from the power outlet before beginning the shaft seal replacment.
  • Only qualified personnel should attempt to replace the shaft seal. Contact your local authorized Hayward Dealer or service center if you have any questions.
  • Exercise extreme care in handling both the rotating and stationary sections of the two-part replacment seal.
  • Foreign matter or improper handling will easily scratch the graphite and ceramic sealing surfaces.
  • See the “Parts Diagram” on page twelve (12) for the pump component locations.

Removing Motor Assembly

  1. Remove the four (4) 5/16” x 1.75” hex head bolts (item #6), which hold the motor assembly to the pump/strainer housing (item #4), using a 1/2” AF spanner or socket.
  2. Slide the motor assembly out of the pump/strainer housing (item 4), exposing the diffuser (item 9). Remove the three (3) diffuser screws (item #7), and pull the diffuser (item #9) off the seal plate (item #13) to expose the impeller. (item #10).

Removing the Impeller

  1. To prevent the motor shaft turning, insert a 6mm Allen Key through the center hole in the fan cowling and into the socket on the end of the motor shaft.
  2. Remove the impeller (item #10) by rotating counterclockwise.

Removing the Ceramic Seat

  1. Remove the spring seal assembly (item #12) and seal plate (item #13) from the motor by removing the four (4) 3/8” x 1” bolts (item #14) that secure it to the motor, using a 9/16” AF spanner or socket.
  2. Press the ceramic seat with rubber cup out of the seal plate (item #13). If tight, use a small screwdriver to tap the seal out from the back side of the seal plate.

IMPORTANT Clean all recesses and parts to be reassembled. Inspect gaskets and replace if necessary.

Seal, Impeller, and Diffuser Installation

  1. Clean and lightly lubricate the motor shaft seal and recess in the seal plate (item #13) with a dilute solution of non granulated liquid type soap. Gently wipe the polished face of the ceramic seal with a soft, lint free cotton cloth.
    Lubricate the rubber cup on the ceramic seat and press firmly into the recess of the seal plate (item #13), with the polished ceramic surface facing towards you.

  2. Reassemble the motor to the seal plate (item #13) using the four (4) 3/8” x 1” bolts (item #14) by tightening them in a cross pattern and torque to 11.5 N-m. ensure there is equal clearence between the motor shaft and ceramic seat.

  3. Gently wipe the black, polished surface of the carbon spring seal assembly (item #12) with a soft, lint free cotton cloth.

  4. Press the carbon spring seal assembly (item #12) onto the motor shaft, with black polished surface facing the ceramic seat.

  5. Screw the impeller (item #10) onto the motor shaft in a clockwise direction and tighten snugly by holding the motor shaft with the 6mm Allen key as explained earlier.

  6. Place the diffuser (item #9) over the impeller (item #10) and onto the seal plate (item #13), aligning the three (3) pins on the diffuser (item #9) with the three (3) holes on the seal plate (item #13). Note: Flat side of diffuser rim will
    face up. Replace the three (3) diffuser screws (item #7) and torque to 2.3 N-m.

  7. Replace the motor assembly into the pump/strainer housing in the reverse order of the removal steps. Ensure the housing gasket (item #11) is lubricated and tighten the housing bolts (item #6) in a cross pattern evenly and to a
    torque of 21 Newton Meters.

Troubleshooting

Motor Will Not Start

  1. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the power is switched on. If the pump still won’t start check the availability of power by plugging in another appliance and seeing if it will start.
  2. If the pump is controlled via a Chlorinator or Total System Controller, ensure that the controlling device is actually allowing the pump to start.
  3. Check for open switches or relays, tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.
  4. Refer to an Authorised Service Agent or another qualified professional.

Motor Cuts Out
Your Hayward pump motor is equipped with Automatic Thermal Overload Protection. The motor will automatically shut-off before heat damage buildup can occur due to abnormal operating conditions. The motor will auto-restart when a safe heat level is reached.

Pump Will Not Prime
1. Ensure that the length of time that the 2850 rpm priming cycle runs for is sufficient. This time is factory set to 2 minutes but can be adjusted up to 4 minutes (see page eight (8) for instructions how to change the length of time).
2. Make sure all the suction and discharge valves are open and unobstructed, that the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve is open, and that the pool water level is above all suction openings.
3. Make sure the pump strainer basket is clean.
4. Fill the pump strainer/housing with water to the level of the pump inlet. Ensure that the strainer cover o-ring is clean, seated correctly, and lubricated. Tighten the strainer cover lock ring by hand only.
5. Check for loose unions or damaged union o-rings on the suction side. Replace damaged o-rings and tighten the union nuts by hand only (no wrenches).

Low Flow – Generally

  1. Check for clogged or restricted strainer basket or suction line. If the suction line is blocked contact a qualified repair professional.

  2. The pool piping is under size. Correct the piping size.

  3. Check for a plugged or restricted discharge line of the filter or a partially closed valve (high gauge reading).
    Sand filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions; D.E. filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions;
    Cartridge filters – clean or replace the cartridge as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

  4. An air leak in the suction side plumbing (bubbles issuing from the return fittings). Re-tighten or re-seal threaded suction fittings with Teflon tape. Inspect other plumbing fittings and replace o-rings and tighten as required.

  5. Plugged, restricted, or damaged impeller. Replace the impeller, including a new shaft seal assembly.

Noisy Pump

  1. Cavitations caused by restricted or undersized suction line, an air leak at any joint, low water level in the pool, and unrestricted discharge return lines. Correct the suction condition or throttle the return lines, if practical. Holding your hand over the return fittings will sometimes prove this, or by putting in a smaller eyeball fitting.
  2. Vibration due to improper mounting, ect. Mount the pump on a level surface and secure the pump to the equipment pad.
  3. Foreign matter in the pump housing or fan cowling. Loose stones/debris hitting the impeller or the motor colling fan could be the cause. Clean the pump housing and the fan cowling.
  4. Motor bearings noisy from normal wear, rust, overheating, or water ingress due to a worn or damaged shaft seal. Contact a qualified repair professional to rectify.

Variable Speed Drive Error Codes
In the case that an internal failure has been detected, the Variable Speed Drive will turn the motor off and display a corresponding error code listed below. As well, the power LED will “FLASH” continuously. If more than one error has been detected the screen will flash between the errors.
The Variable Speed Drive is protected against overload and overheating. If such an error occurs, the controller will automatically try to restart the motor six (6) times. After failing the sixth time to restart the display will show the error message “Err20”.
The cause of an error should be investigated and resolved before continuing normal operation of the pump. When the issue has been resolved, press the RUN/STOP key to clear the error message.

Error Number Description Action Possible Action
1 Under Voltage. Please check mains supply. 1 1 = Drive Restart

2 = Drive Stop
3 = Drive Stop Special
2| Over Voltage. Please check mains supply.| 1
4| Maximum temperature exceeded Power Module.| 3
5| Over Temperature — Motor.| 3
7| Maximum Current exceeded.| 2
10| Current Measurement Fails Permanently.| 2
20| Overload during Startup Process.| 1
64| Internal Short Circuit Failure.| 2
98| Internal Communication Failure| 2

Action 1 = Drive Restart: – When the error is detected the Error code is to be displayed on the screen for 3 seconds before initiating a Drive Restart. If the pump is configured in “RS485 Controlled” mode, it will only start if a speed signal is being sent from the Hayward control system.
Action 2 = Drive Stop: – For any errors where the action is to “Stop” the Drive , the motor is to remain stopped while displaying the error code(s) until the user presses the RUN/STOP key to re-set, or the power to the motor is cycled off and back on. If the Drive is stopped due to multiple errors, the display shall scroll between each error displaying each error for 3 seconds whilst blinking on and off every second before moving to the next error code and repeating in a l oopuntil the user presses the RUN/STOP key to re- set, or the power to the motor is cycled off and back on Action 3 = Drive Stop Special: – For “Error 04 Maximum temperature exceeded Power Module”, or “Error 05 Over Temperature – Motor”, the Drive is to stop the motor and only allow it to restart once both of the over temperature situations have cooled to a pre- determined safe level. The display is to show the fault code and then proceed to the screens “ auto” and “r s t r t” displaying each for 3 seconds. This will constantly loop around until a favorable-start condition is sensed by the internal temperature probes.
If the pump is configured in “RS485 Controlled” Mode, it will only start if a speed signal is being sent from the Hayward control system.

Service Mode

When troubleshooting the pump or the pool system it may be useful to run the pump without other program functions like default speed settings and timers. This can be achieved by setting the VSD into Service Mode.
To enter Service Mode remove the power from the pump. Hold down the DISP/FUNC button and then apply the power to the pump. “tESt” will then be displayed on the screen before the motor RPM’s while all three speed LED’s will be
constantly flashing while the pump remains in Service Mode.
In this mode only the RPM of the motor can be changed between 600 rpm and 2850rpm and no speeds will be saved in this mode.
To exit Service Mode simply cycle the power to the pump on and off.
