Section 2. General Description
2.1
Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation, operation, and maintenance of Jandy
ePump Series variable-speed pumps. Procedures in this
manual must be followed exactly. To obtain additional
copies of this manual, contact Jandy Customer Service
at 800.822.7933. For address information, see the back
cover of this manual.
2.2
Description
The ePump is a variable-speed pump that can be run
from 600 RPM to 3450 RPM. When connected to the
Jandy ePump controller, up to eight (8) speed settings
may be programmed and recalled. This allows you to
select the most appropriate speed for your application.
Even more versatile programming is possible when you
use a Jandy AquaLink
RS controller.
®
Jandy ePump Series Pumps are designed to meet
the needs of today's more hydraulically demanding
pool equipment. The pump housing, backplate, diffuser,
impeller, and hair and lint pot (pump debris filter
basket) are all made from high quality thermoplastic
materials. These materials were chosen for their strength
and corrosion resistance.
The pump is driven by an electric motor directly
attached to the pump impeller. As the electric motor
turns, it causes the impeller to turn, which forces water
to flow through the pump. The water flows through the
pump inlet and then into the filter basket. The basket
assembly pre-strains/traps large particles. The water
then enters the center of the pump housing, flows
through the impeller into the diffuser, and flows out the
pump discharge port.

3.1.1 Preparation Information
1.
Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for
damage. Open the carton and check the pump for
concealed damage, such as cracks, dents or a bent
base. If damage is found, contact the shipper or
distributor where the pump was purchased.
2.
Inspect the contents of the carton and verify
that all parts are included. See Section 7.1,
Replacement Parts List and Exploded View.

3.1.2 Pump Location
1.
Jandy recommends installing the pump within one
(1) foot above water level. The pump should not
be elevated more than a few feet above the water
level of the pool. A check valve is recommended
on the suction line to the pump.
WARNING
Some Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS)
devices are not compatible with the installation of
check valves. If the pool has an SVRS device, be
sure to confirm that it will continue to safely operate
when any check valves are installed.
NOTE To achieve better self-priming, install the
pump as close as possible to the water level
of the pool.
2.
If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both the suction and
return lines to prevent back flow of pool water
during any routine or required servicing.
3.
The pump and other circulation equipment must
be located more than five (5) feet from the water.
Choose a location that will minimize turns in the
piping.
NOTE In Canada, the pump must be located a
minimum of three (3) meters (approximately 10
feet) from the water (CSA C22.1).
4.
The pump must be placed on a solid foundation
that will not vibrate. To further reduce the
possibility of vibration noise, bolt the pump to the
foundation, or place it on a rubber mat.
NOTE Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends bolting
the pump directly to the foundation.
5.
The pump foundation must have adequate drainage
to prevent the motor from getting wet. Protect the
pump from the rain and sun.
6.
Proper ventilation is required for the pump to
operate normally. All motors generate heat that
must be removed by providing proper ventilation.
7.
Provide access for future services by leaving a
clear area around the pump. Allow plenty of space
above the pump to remove the lid and basket for
cleaning.
8.
If the equipment is in a potentially dark area,
provide adequate lighting.
