DOUBLE SPEED PUMP
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The main characteristic of the double-speed pump is the possibility to select the speed to work with, depending on the
usage needs.
As a thumb rule, the filtering process will be performed in a low-speed mode with the aim to take advantage of the
energy-save characteristics, low-noise level and better filtering quality. According to these facts, you will need to roughly
double the filtering times as the flow rate decreases to the half when working in low speed.
It is very likely that you have some accessories in your pool that require the pump to be in use for them to operate. These
elements can be varied as cleaning systems, heat exchangers, chemical dosing, etc.. In most of the cases these devices
can work properly at low speed (ECO) (provided that the minimum flow of operation is less than 6 m3 / h). If not, you
can normally operate the equipment at high speed (TURBO) for the time necessary to fulfill its function.
In the case of performing chemical shock treatments or cleaning operations, is suggested to use high speed. The filter
backwash operations should be always performed at high speed.
With the above comments, you should set your time programming in the control panel considering not only the operating
time but also the operating speed.
HOW TO MOVE FROM A SINGLE-SPEED TO A DOUBLE-SPEED CONFIGURATION
Generally, the most of the operating time will be spent on a low-speed (ECO) mode, but a part of the period will be kept
to work at high-speed (TURBO) condition. A good starting point could be to work at a 90%-10% ratio.
It means that 90% of the high-speed (single-speed) will be moved to a low-speed (ECO) condition, which will mean
that the time will be doubled. The remaining 10% will be kept in high-speed (TURBO).
STARTING CONDITION
Single-speed pump with a working basis of 4 hours per day.
Working hours: 12:00h to 16:00h.
PROPOSAL
We will take 3,5 of the 4 working hours and we will move them from single-speed to the low-speed (ECO) mode. It will
mean that the working time will be 7,5 hours.
Half an hour of high-speed will remain in the same condition.
WORKING PROPOSAL
Low speed “ECO” : 10 to 11,30h and 12 to 17h
High speed “TURBO”: 11,30 to 12h
This planning could be changed depending on specific needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. ¿THE SUCTION VACUUM HEADS COULD WORK IN LOW SPEED (ECO) MODE?
The range of vacuum heads available is very large, and so the flow-pressure needs for each of them. In most of the cases
the vacuum head start-up needs to perform a balancing between the skimmers, suction and pool bottom inlet.
According to this, it is very likely that your vacuum head could work in lo-speed (ECO) mode, after performing a correct
balancing. However, if it could be not possible, the operation could be always done in high-speed (TURBO) condition.
2. ¿MY HEATING SYSTEM COULD WORK IN LOW-SPEED?
Generally yes. Most of the heat exchangers need a minimum flow of 6 m3/h to work properly. This minimal flow
rate is always assured (except in case of filters needing a backwash).
3. ¿MY CHEMICAL DOSING SYSTEM COULD WORK IN LOW SPEED?
Most of the chemical dosing systems need a minimal flow rate from 3 to 5 m3/h,. These flow rates can be achieved
in all the conditions.
4. ¿SHOULD I INSTALL AN SPECIFIC ELECTRICAL CABINET TO OPERATE THE DOUBLE-SPEED PUMP?
Yes. As the pump is capable to work in two different speeds, the electrical cabinet must be designed to decide in
which moment and for how long the pump should be stopped or in one of the speeds.
5. ¿IS IT NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION AND PIPING TO INSTALL THE DUAL-SPEED PUMP?
The fact of installing a double-speed pump does not involve any special dimensioning or any change in the installation design.
As the connection dimensions are the same, it is not necessary to do any change in the installation if you have a
Sprint, Victoria or Victoria plus pump already installed.
In case of having another pump, probably the hydraulic installation should be slightly changed I order to fit to the
double-speed pump connecting dimensions.
6. ¿CAN I INSTALL THE DOUBLE-SPEED PUMP IN AN INSTALLATION WITH A SYSTEM VRAC AUTOMATIC SELECTING VALVE?
Yes, but the following operation should be taken in mind.
The selection valves System VRAC automatically detect the need for a filter back wash
The presostate should be adjusted to the high-speed condition (TURBO).
Once the backwash need condition is achieved, the selecting valve will force the electrical cabinet to stop the pump.
To do so, the valve will have to be connected to the electrical cabinet according to the instruction manual. The wiring
should give the priority to the pump control timers.
After stopping, the valve will move to the programmed position and will let the pump to work again, until the
washing period is finished.
It is important to program at least one high-speed (TURBO) cycle per day, in order to let the filter do its maintenance
when needed.

7. ¿DO I HAVE TO TAKE ANY CARE IF I WANT TO USE ONLY THE LOW-SPEED (ECO) CONDITION?
In case of not desiring to use the high-speed (TURBO) speed in any moment, it must be taken into account that the
pressure inside the filter will be always lower than the “washing needed” ones. In this case, it is recommended to lower
the “filter washing” condition pressure to the one needed in this new condition, together with a visual check of the filter
cleanness.
However, it is recommended to program at least one high-speed (TURBO) per day.
8. ¿ THE LIGHTING SYSTEM COULD BE AFFECTED BY A DOUBLE-SPEED PUMP?
No, the electrical circuits are independent.
DIGITAL TIMER (45869)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The digital timer function is to select the pump speed depending on the user needs.
Thanks to its programming capability, the user could select the speed to suit it to the filtration needs with different
programs depending on the day of the week or the season, having a bigger energy reduction and the possibility of a
better filtering.
In the same way, the digital timer provides the possibility to use two specific programs for filter maintenance.
The digital timer includes also an external input to stop the filtration process if needed (automatic valves, water level
sensors, alarms, etc…). This external input is prepared to receive AC or DC signals from 12 to 230 V.
DIGITAL TIMER CONNECTIONS
•Power supply
•External input
•Output (relays)
The connections scheme is described in the annex.
DIGITAL TIMER FUNCTION MODES
The digital timer could be used in two different modes, MANUAL or AUTOMATIC.
The selection between these two modes could be done in all the conditions by pressing the MAN/AUTO button.
If the manual mode (MAN) is selected, the user could choose the functioning speed: STOP, ECO (low-speed) or TURBO
(high-speed) by pressing the STOP/ECO/TURBO button.
If the automatic (AUTO) mode is selected, the digital timer will select the speeds according to the programs.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
The digital timer has two special programs named BACKWASH and RINSE. To perform these special programs, the user
has to select the manual mode and press the special program button.
