VARIABLE SPEED PUMP SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The variable speed pump controls out going variable pressures of the water for
better equipment operation by maintaining a constant pressure on the system.
The variable speed pump system is controlled by the AquaBoost II Controller,
Model 2AB2 (6.9A). The AquaBoost II is a self-diagnosing controller.
INSTALLATION
The following guidelines should be met at installation.
1. Install the variable speed pump system on firm level floor.
2. Inlet water supply piping should be equal or greater than the inlet pipe on
the variable speed pump system.
3. Outlet piping from the variable speed pump system should be
equal or greater than the outlet pipe on the variable speed pump
system.
4. Locate the variable speed pump controller on a wall as close to the
variable speed pump system as possible.
See controller mounting directions located on page number 5 of this
manual.
5. Align the connector on the end of the pressure sensor cable with the
mating connector on the pressure sensor and push it on. The tab will lock it
in place. (Refer to System Design Drawing on page number 2).To prevent
failure to the controller in the case of a leak, create a “drip loop” in the
cable. This will prevent water from following the cable and entering the
sensor connector.
6. Connect the wiring from the controller to the pump.
See AquaBoost II Contoller wiring diagram located on page number 9
of this manual.
7. Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes.
START-UP
See page number 7-8 for Starting the System instructions for the controller.

Note
The Motor Overload Switch is set when the Variable Speed Pump System is built. It should be
checked periodically. The DIP Switch Setting has been set at (1011) for a 5.8 AMP Motor.

A Blinking Green Status Code indicates that the pump is running. A Blinking or Solid Red Light
Indicates a problem with the controller. Refer to the access cover side panel or Diagram 6 for
Status Codes. See Troubleshooting Section on pages 11 & 12 for more details.
