Waterco Hydrostorm ECO-V 150 Operating Manual

Hydrostorm ECO-V 150 "8 Star Energy Rated" Variable
Speed Pump Operating Guide
Hydrostorm ECO-V 150 is equipped with the very latest 3 speed permanent magnet brushless DC motor; Hydrostorm ECO-V is capable of
lowering its energy usage & reducing its operating noise levels.
Energy Saving
A pool filtration system does not require to be operated at a pump's maximum water flow rate. In fact, your pool's filtration efficiency
improves at lower flow rates. As a pool's filtration cycle occupies 99% of the run time of a pool pump, you can operate the Hydrostorm
ECO-V 150 on its low (ECO) speed setting for a majority of its running time, leading to 80% savings in energy.
Hydrostorm ECO-V 150's Variable 3 speed options
Hydrostorm ECO-V 150 has 3 factory set speed options ECO (Low), MED & HIGH but with the additional advantage of fine adjustment in
operating speed with 25 RPM increments, allowing fine tuning of the pump's motor speed to perfectly match the flow requirements of the
swimming pool, maximising energy savings and minimising pump noise. The Hydrostorm ECO-V 150 operates most economically and with
the lowest noise level using the ECO (Low) speed option.
The Hydrostorm ECO-V 150 has a variable speed control, ranging from 1000 to 2850 RPM (revolutions per minute). The pump's RPM can
be viewed on the control panel display.
ECO (Low 1300 RPM): Filtration – 99% of the time
Most economical speed for the purpose of operating the pool's filtration system without any ancillary
pool equipment attached to the re-circulation system. E.g. suction cleaners.
Medium (2400 RPM): Automatic pool cleaners
This speed will enable the operation additional pool equipment for pool cleaning functions that
require the use of suction cleaners and low pressure spa jets.
High (2850 RPM): Vacuuming and backwash – 1% of the time
Power speed selection for use with backwashing granular media filters (e.g. sand filters), manual
pool vacuuming and operating pool equipment with high water pressure requirements. E.g. water
features and spa jets.
Stop: This will cancel any variable adjustments made outside of the above three factory settings.
Power: This will be lit whenever the pump is operating.
Error: If this is lit you will be required to contact your pool equipment supplier/store for maintenance
advise.
Note: The ECO (Low) speed option is specifically designed to operate a standard pool filtration and
recirculation system, but can be fine tuned with 25 RPM increments to suit an individual pool's flow
requirement.
Adjusting Low (ECO), MED and HIGH Speed Settings
1. While the Hydrostorm ECO-V 150 is operating press and hold the required speed setting button for 3
seconds or until the indicator light is flashing. This will allow the factory setting to be adjusted either down
or up in RPM's.
2. To decrease the speed of a factory speed setting select and press the speed button, the indicator light
will begin to flash. Press the ECO with down arrow button, to decrease the RPM by 25 RPM each time you press the
button, until you reach the desired operating RPM.
Note: The minimum operating RPM limit is 1000 RPM.
3. To increase the speed of a factory speed setting select and press the speed button , this will then have the flashing indicator
light. Press the HIGH with up arrow button as this will increase the RPM by 25 RPM each time you press until you reach the
desired operating RPM.
Note: The maximum operating RPM limit is 25 RPM less than the next factory speed setting.
Example: Low (ECO 1900 RPM) upper RPM limit is 2375 RPM, 25 RPM below MED factory setting of 2400 RPM.
4. To save this variable speed adjustment hold MED/OK button for 5 seconds to return to normal operating mode.
Please ensure that the correct pump speed is selected in accordance to the pool equipment and adequately meets the pool's
requirements.
