Congratulations on the purchase of a quality product from the Davey Water
Products range of Pool Equipment. You are assured many years of reliable
and super-efficient performance from your Davey ProMaster VSD Pool pump
with Bluetooth.
This pump is Bluetooth enabled, so you will be able to set and control the pump
functions from your smart device. Bluetooth is a wireless communication
protocol that enables communication between devices. This function is
supported by any device that can download an app from IOS or Android App
Store.
Read these instructions in their entirety before switching on this pump. If you
are uncertain as to any of these installation and operating instructions please
contact your Davey dealer or the appropriate Davey office as listed on the back
of this document.
The Davey ProMaster has been designed to circulate swimming pool and spa
water in conditions set out in the Australian Standard for swimming pool water
quality AS 3633 or equivalent. They should not be used for any other purpose
without first consulting your Davey Dealer or the Davey Customer Service
Centre.
Every Davey ProMaster pool pump is thoroughly water tested against a
number of flow, pressure, voltage, current and mechanical performance
parameters. Davey’s advanced pump manufacturing technology provides
reliable and efficient pumping performance that lasts and lasts.
Saving Energy with your Davey ProMaster VSD Pool Pump
The Davey ProMaster VSD pool pump is a super-efficient pump utilising a
state of the art infinitely variable AC motor that provides lower levels of noise,
reduced operating costs and lower greenhouse emissions than traditional pool
pumps.
Due to its ability to run at lower speeds than conventional pumps, your
ProMaster pump will also experience less mechanical wear and tear due to
less stress on the internal mechanical components.
To achieve energy efficient pumping is easy. Simply run the filtration
pump at a lower speed, but run it for longer (see table on page 5) than a
conventional fixed speed pump to “turn over” your pool water for
adequate filtration and sanitisation.
The result is lower energy use and lower operational costs.

ProMaster VSD Pool Pumps with Bluetooth have adjustable speed settings
(1500 – 3600rpm on PM200BT, and 1050 - 3100rpm on the PM400BT), so
you can circulate your pool or spa water at any speed in between if required.
Speeds can be adjusted to power a suction pool cleaner, in-floor cleaning
system & pool heaters. A backwash setting on the pump can be selected to
backwash a media filter.
What to expect with a variable speed pump on your pool:
If your ProMaster pump is replacing a traditional AC motor pump, you will need
to run it longer than your old fixed speed pump. This is NORMAL and you will
save energy when using lower speed settings.
You may also notice that the pressure gauge on your filter is indicating a much
lower pressure than you are used to. This is also NORMAL. The lower system
pressure is simply a result of the lower speed and flow rate produced by the
pump.
While running at the lower speed settings you will also notice a significant
reduction in pump noise. This is a major benefit for you as it allows you to run
your pump during off peak electricity tariffs, which will also assist in the
reduction of your operating costs.
Important considerations when running the pump on Low Flow settings:
Many pool products rely on specific minimum flow rates for best operation
and/or efficiency. If you are using low flow settings on the ProMaster pump
(e.g. Speed 1 - 4), Davey recommends that you check the compatibility of the
speed or minimum flow rate required to run specific pool equipment such as:
• Suction pool cleaners
• Ozone generators
• Pool Heaters
• Solar Heating systems
• Salt Water Chlorinator cells
• In-floor pool cleaning systems

Power Connection
Davey ProMaster is suitable for connection to a nominal 240 volt / 50Hz power
supply, and is equipped with a cable and 3 pin plug. If a power outlet is not
available within 3 metres of the pump, a 3 pin power point in a safe, dry place
may need to be provided by an electrician. Extension cords are unsafe around
pools - and shall be avoided. If the supply cord of this product is damaged it must
be replaced by the dealer or manufacturer, with genuine Davey spares.
This ProMaster pool pump incorporates motor overload detection designed to
protect the motor from overheating. If the motor gets too hot during operation, its
operating speed will reduce to bring it within an acceptable operating temperature
and then will speed up to the originally set speed.
To reset the motor, switch the power off for 30 seconds, and then return the power
from the mains switch.
All installations must be fitted with earth leakage or residual current
protection devices, having a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30mA.
CAUTION:
In the interest of safety, we advise that all brands and types of pool pumps
must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 known as the
national wiring rules or equivalent local standards. All electrical
installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
If the pump and filter are located below pool water level, it is necessary to
fit isolating valves in the pipe between the pump and skimmer box and in
return pipe from the filter to the pool.
The fittings on this product are constructed of ABS. Some PVC jointing
compounds are incompatible with ABS. Check compound suitability
before use.
Warning! Ensure that an electrical isolation switch is located with easy
access so that the pump can be switched off in an emergency.
Warning! Power supply to this pump needs to be through an
RCD, having a rated leakage current not exceeding 30mA.

Guidelines for Recommended Pump Operating Hours
Australian Standards AS3633: “Private swimming pools - water quality” states
that “The minimum turnover rate shall be a single turnover of the full volume of
the pool water, within the period that the pump would normally be operating….”
The tables below provide a guide only to the running times of your pump
while in filtration mode in order to achieve the minimum turnover rate:

Installation of the Davey ProMaster VSD Pool pump with Bluetooth
Location
The pump should be located as close to the water as practicable and mounted on
a firm base in a well-drained position, high enough to prevent any flooding. It is the
installer’s/owner’s responsibility to locate the pump such that the nameplate can be
easily read and the pump can be readily accessed for service.

1. Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet. Elbows should be no closer
than 250mm to the inlet.
2. Flooded suction systems should have gate valves installed on suction and
discharge pipes for maintenance, however, the suction gate valve should be
no closer than 250mm from the inlet.
3. Use a check valve in the discharge line when using this pump for any
application where there is significant height to the plumbing after the pump.
4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with another pump.
This helps prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

Weather Protection
It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather. Enclosures
should be ventilated to prevent condensation build-up.
Wiring Connection
Please refer to the below schematic for information on how to correctly install
your pump.
Pipe Connection
Barrel unions are provided for connecting to the piping from the pool. The
pumps are designed to accept 40mm/50mm PVC fittings.
When plumbing the discharge pipe, ensure that the pipework does not
interfere with the pumps speed dial.
The use of any pipe smaller than those specified above is not recommended.
Suction piping should be free from all air leaks and any humps and hollows
which cause suction difficulties.
The discharge piping from the pump outlet should be connected to the inlet
connection on the swimming pool filter (usually at the filter control valve).
Barrel unions need to be hand tightened. No sealant, glues or
silicones are required.

Using your ProMaster VSD pump with a Davey Salt Water
Chlorinator
Davey salt water chlorinators require a minimum flow rate of 80 litres per
minute (lpm) through the chlorinator cell for best efficiency and cell life. Please
refer to the performance graph below as a reference for the flow in your pool
and refer to the pressure indicated by the gauge on the media or cartridge
filter.
Ensure flow rate is sufficient to cover your chlorinator cell plates completely at
all times of operation.
