Installation Instructions

Pump Mounting

Install the pump on a level concrete slab or other rigid base to meet all local and national codes. Secure the pump to the 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 the pump inlet height to be as close to the 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 the pump and piping.

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.

Start Up & Operation

• Have a professional perform this test.

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 the suction pipe level.

If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, reinstall 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.

Starting the pump

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).

This table shows the approximate flow rate in litres per minute at the factory speed settings.

Recommended minimum speed for filtration

This table shows the minimum speed setting that werecommend to set the VSD to for filtration purposes, and Hayward HCP2500VSP 2.70 THP VS Pump Family is the speed used to achieve the Star Rating and Energy Efficiency as shown on the Energy Rating Label.

EcoStar Variable Speed Pump

• 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 range of EcoStar Variable Speed Pumps displays, 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 Hayward HCP2500VSP 2.70 THP VS Pump Family 200 W. Cost of electricity = $0.22 per kWh
200W = 0.2 kW
0.2 kW X $0.22/kWh = $0.04 per hour

Benefits of operating at low speeds

• Save electricity and money. A reduction in Pump Hayward HCP2500VSP 2.70 THP VS Pump Family Speed of 50% will reduce power consumption by up to 75%
• Better filtration – the filter can often remove smaller particles when the water moves more slowly
• Quiet operation, so 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

Maintenance

• Clean the 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.
• 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.
