- Page 3 CentriPro Residential Water IS THE UNIT SENSITIVE TO LIGHTING STRIKES OR VOLTAGE DISTURBANCES? Yes. Nothing can prevent direct hits from lightning, however, the Aquavar SOLO2 does use surge arrestors to prevent damage of indirect strikes and intermittent voltage fluctuations. These protective devices are the same as used in expensive residential surge arrestors for computers and electronic protection.
- Page 4 CentriPro Residential Water WHEN SIZING THE AQUAVAR SOLO² FOR USE WITH ANOTHER MOTOR MANUFACTURER, IS IT RECOMMENDED TO UPSIZE TO THE NEXT SIZE AQUAVAR SOLO², TO MAXIMIZE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PUMP? The Aquavar SOLO² is rated for use with most submersible motors for their given horsepower rating. Please compare the service factor amps (SFA) on the motor to the maximum output on the drive.
- Page 5 Yes, however the external pump requires its own power source. The Aquavar SOLO² can provide an output signal to control the metering pump. Please reference IM229 for additional set up.
