Controller Overview

The SuperFlo VS Variable Speed Pump
®
uses a premium efficiency variable speed
motor that provides tremendous program
flexibility in terms of motor speed and
duration settings. The pump is intended to run
at the lowest speeds needed to maintain a
sanitary environment, which in turn minimizes
energy consumption. Pool size, the presence
of additional water features, chemicals
used to maintain sanitary conditions, and
environmental factors will impact optimal
programming necessary to maximize energy
conservation.
This pump is for use with 220-240 Vrms
nominal, and in pool pump applications
ONLY. Connection to the wrong voltage, or use in other
application may cause damage to equipment or personal
injury.
The integrated electronics interface controls the
speed settings as well as the run durations. The
pump can operate at speeds ranging between
600 and 3450 RPM and is rated for 220-240 Vrms
at an input frequency of 50 Hz.
Program customization may require some trial-
and-error to determine the most satisfactory
settings as dictated by the conditions. In most
cases, setting the pump at the lowest speed
for the longest duration is the best strategy
to minimize energy consumption. However,
conditions may require running the pump at a
higher speed for some duration of time each
day to maintain proper filtration to achieve
satisfactory sanitation.
The control panel key pad is located on top of
the pump. To the right of the STEP buttons
is the OVERRIDE button. Use this button to
operate the pump at speeds outside of the
normal operating schedule.
Note: Optimize the pump to suit individual pool
conditions. Specific conditions including pool
size, other devices, features and environmental
factors can all impact the optimal settings.
