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.

- 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.
- Select the VSP’s HUA.
- You can now set a schedule for the VSP (refer to the OmniLogic Operation Manual)’
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 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.
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 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 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.

Troubleshooting
Motor Will Not Start
- If the pump still won’t start, check the availability of power by plugging in another appliance and seeing if it will start.
- Check for open switches or relays, tripped circuit breakers, or blown fuses.
- Refer to an Authorised Service Agent or another qualified professional.
Motor Cuts Out
The motor will automatically shut off before heat damage buildup can occur due to abnormal operating conditions.
Pump Will Not Prime
- Ensure that the length of time that the 2850 rpm priming cycle runs for is sufficient.
- 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.
- Make sure the pump strainer basket is clean.
- 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.
- 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
- Check for a clogged or restricted strainer basket or Hayward 1B-ESP2300HVS EcoStar Speed Pump suction line.
- The pool piping is undersized. Correct the piping size.
- 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.
- 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.
- Plugged, restricted, or damaged impeller. Replace Hayward 1B-ESP2300HVS EcoStar Speed Pump the impeller, including a new shaft seal assembly.
Noisy Pump
- 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.
- Vibration due to improper mounting, etc. Mount the pump on a level surface and secure the pump to the equipment pad.
- Foreign matter in the pump housing or fan cowling. Loose stones/debris hitting the impeller or the motor cooling fan could be the cause. Clean the pump housing and the fan cowling.
- Motor bearings are noisy from normal wear, rust, overheating, or water ingress due to a worn or damaged shaft seal. Contact a qualified repair professional to rectify.
