Start-Up And Operation; Priming The Pump; Starting The Pump - Hayward TriStar SP3215VS Owner's Manual

Startup & 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
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
avaliable). 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
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 eight (8).
If the pump will not start or prime please refer to the trouble shooting section on page thirteen (13).
Selecting the correct speed setting
To maximise effiency and performance it is important to select the approporite 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 3000 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 fifteen (15) for further information.
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 acheive the Star Rating and Energy
Efficiency as shown on the Energy Rating Label.
This pump has been independently tested to AS 5102.
