OPERATION
NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and
flooding. Fill pump with water before starting motor.
Freezing conditions will damage the unit, as water expands as it freezes. Ensure
that the Ecoclear® 800-VS Pool Pump is located so that it is not prone to freezing,
or ensure that the product is disconnected and dried of water during cold
conditions.
Trapped air in system can cause explosion. Ensure all air is out of the system
before operating or testing equipment.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures. To reduce the
risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the
pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at least 20
minutes before trying to work on it.
Small children using pool must ALWAYS have close adult supervision.
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do
not use or operate pump, pool/spas if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken,
or loose. Follow the guidelines below for a pump installation which minimises risk
to users of pool and spas.
NEVER tighten or loosen trap lid while pump is operating.
1. Priming the pump
It is not necessary to lubricate
the O-ring. The original
equipment O-ring contains a
permanent internal lubricant.
c. Remove the trap lid (turn anti-clockwise).
d. Fill trap tank with water.
e. Check the lid O-ring and sealing surface, ensure there is no dust or debris on either, and
replace the lid (turn clockwise to tighten by hand only - no wrenches!).
f. Open the shut-off valves on the suction and discharge pipes, if present.
g. Release all air from filter, pump and piping system (refer filter owner's manual). In a
flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), pump will prime itself when
suction and discharge valves are opened and air is released.
h. Switch on power to the pump to start.
i. Pump should start to prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical height of suction lift
and horizontal length of suction piping but is generally between 30 seconds to 3 minutes
under normal installation conditions.
j. The Ecoclear® 800-VS Pool Pump will start slowly but ramp up to high speed for the first
2 minutes to assist priming. It will then switch to the selected speed.

a. Before removing trap lid, SWITCH OFF
POWER SUPPLY to pump.
b. CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES on suction and
discharge pipes, if present.
*Should the pump not prime, ensure that all valves are open, lint trap is
clear of debris and suctions and suction pipe end is submersed in water,
and that there are no leaks in suction pipe. See troubleshooting guide.
