6. Switch on power to the pump-motor to start. There will be a delay of six to twelve (6 to 12) seconds as
the pump powers up.
7. The unit will automatically run on high speed for two (2) minutes to prime the pump. After the two
minutes the pump will default to low speed. Note: When you press the medium or high button after the
two (2) minute priming, the pump will then run for two (2) hours on the speed you selected then default
back to low. If full prime has not been achieved after initial 2 minute prime cycle, refill the pump with water
and start on High speed and allow pump to run on High speed for up to 5 minutes to allow air trapped in
the suction line to be purged.
8. The pump has three (3) speed settings - low, medium, and high.
High: Used when vacuuming the pool or
operating the spa jets or some water
features such as water falls.
Medium: Used for gentle spa jet action, or filtration
for the pool.
Low: Recommended for everyday filtration of
your pool. (This speed will achieve the
lowest operating costs with the lowest
noise level.)
9. If the power is turned off or the pump is stopped, it will repeat this process. (See number 6 & 7)
10. If the pump does not prime and all the instructions to this point have been followed, check for a
suction leak. If there is a leak repeat Steps 2 through 6.

Changing the Default Speed

The pump is factory set with a default speed of LOW. However, it can be modified to medium speed as
required by minimum flow pressure requirements of various pool side equipment/features as defined by
the manufacturer specifications. The default speed should be modified during the first two minutes of
applying power to the unit.
Please follow all local/state regulations regarding pool motor and timer speeds settings when
choosing the default speed.
1. Allow the pump to achieve prime if starting the system for the first time.
2. Turn the power off using the off button on the controller once prime is reached. Allow the pump to sit in
the off position for at least 30 seconds.
3. Turn the pump on and allow the motor to come to full speed.
4. Press and hold the high and medium buttons simultaneously until the low speed LED indicator light
begins to blink and then release.
