1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This guide provides installation and operation instructions for this pump. If you have any other
questions about this equipment, please consult your supplier.
1.1 When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
•RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a professionally trained and qualified electrician if you
cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
•This pump is for use with permanently installed in-ground or above-ground swimming pools
and may also be used with hot tubs and spas with a water temperature under 50℃. Due to the
fixed installation method, this pump is not suggested to be used on above-ground pools that
can be readily disassembled for storage.
•The pump is not submersible.
• Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure.
1.2 All installations must be fitted with earth leakage or residual current protection
devices, having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
WARNING:
• Fill the pump with water before starting. Do not run the pump dry. In case of dry run,
mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking.
• Before servicing the pump, switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting the main circuit
to the pump and release all pressure from pump and piping system.
• Never tighten or loosen screws while the pump is operating.
• Ensure that the inlet and outlet of the pump are unblocked with foreign matter.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Pump Location
1) Install the pump as close to the pool as possible, to reduce friction loss and improve
efficiency, use short, direct suction and return piping.
2) To avoid direct sunshine, heat or rain, it is recommended to place the pump indoors or in the
shade.
3) DO NOT install the pump in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep pump and motor at
least 150mm away from obstacles, pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
4) The pump should be installed horizontally and fixed in the hole on the support with screws to
prevent unnecessary noise and vibration.
4.2. Piping
1) For optimization of the pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a pipe with size of 63mm.
When installing the inlet and outlet fittings (joints), use the special sealant for PVC material.
2) The dimension of suction line should be the same or larger than the return line diameter, to
avoid pump sucking air, which will affect the efficiency of the pump.
3) Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.
4) For most installations we recommend installing a valve on both the pump suction and return
lines, which is more convenient for routine maintenance. However, we also recommend that a
valve, elbow, or tee installed on the suction line should be no closer to the front of the pump
than seven times the suction line diameter.
5) Pump outlet piping system should be equipped with a check valve to prevent the pump from
the impact of medium recirculation and pump-stopping water hammer.
4.3. Valves and Fittings
1) Elbows should be no closer than 350mm to the inlet. Do not install 90° elbows directly into
the pump inlet/outlet. Joints must be tight.

4
* The pump inlet/outlet union size: optional with 48.5/50/60.3/63mm
2) Flooded suction systems should have gate valves installed on suction and return line for
maintenance; however, the suction gate valve should be no closer than seven times the
suction pipe diameter as described in this section.
3) Use a check valve in the return line where there is significant height between the return line
and the outlet of the pump.
4) Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with other pumps. This helps
prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.
4.4 Check before initial startup
1) Check whether pump shaft rotates freely;
2) Check whether power supply voltage and frequency conform to the nameplate;
3) Facing the fan blade, the direction of motor rotation should be clockwise;
4) It is forbidden to run the pump without water.

for more than 1 minute and the brightness of the screen is reduced by 1/3 of the normal display.
Short press to wake up the screen and observe the relevant operating parameters.
5.3 Self-priming
When the pump starts for the first time, the system performs the self-priming procedure to
analyze the flow range of the pipeline system in actual installation. The running capacity will go
up from 30% to 100% by 5% each step, and run for 180 seconds. (The period could be set
from 180s to 900s). This first-time self-priming is mandatory and only takes effect after the first
installation or factory reset. It will not start again when the pump is turned on again. After the
first-time self-priming, pump will automatically redefine the adjustable range of the flow range
(the default flow range of this pump is 5-30 m³/h), after the first-time self-priming, the range
may be redefined to 7-28 m³/h, user still could set the flow rate from 5 to 30 m³/h, 3 seconds
after the setting is completed, the flow rate will be automatically adjusted to the actual

7. PROTECTION AND FAILURE
7.1 High Temperature Warning and Speed Reduction
In "Auto-Inverter/Manual-Inverter Mode" and "Timer mode" (except backwash/self-priming),
when the module temperature reaches the high temperature warning trigger threshold (81), it
enters the high temperature warning state; when the temperature drops to the high
temperature warning release threshold (78), the high temperature warning state is released.
The display area alternately displays AL01 and running speed or flow
1) If AL01 displayed for the first time, the running capacity will be automatically reduced as
below:
a) If current operating capacity is higher than 85%, the running capacity will be automatically
reduced by 15%;
b) If current operating capacity is higher than 70%, the running capacity will be automatically
reduced by 10%;
c) If current operating capacity is lower than 70%, the running capacity will be automatically
reduced by 5%.
2) Suggestion for non-first displayed of AL01: check the module temperature every 2 minutes.
Compared with the temperature in the previous period, for every 1-degree Celsius increase,
the speed will decrease by 5%.
7.2 Undervoltage protection
When the device detects that the input voltage is less than 200V, the device will limit the
current running speed
When input voltage is less than or equal to 180V, the running capacity will be limited to 70%;
When the input voltage range is within 180V ~ 190V, the running capacity will be limited to
75%;
When the input voltage range is within 190V ~ 200V, the running capacity will be limited to
85%.
