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 SilensorPro 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 SilensorPro 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 SilensorPro 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 SilensorPro VSD Pool Pump
The Davey SilensorPro pool pump is an 8-star 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
SilensorPro 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 7) 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.

3
SilensorPro VSD Pool Pumps with Bluetooth have adjustable speed settings
from 1500 – 3600rpm, 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 SilensorPro 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 SilensorPro 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 – HARDWIRED CONNECTION ONLY
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the following:
•
Ensure motor is connected to power supply specified on
nameplate.
•
Avoid long extension leads as they can cause substantial
voltage drop and operating problems.
•
Although the Davey electric motor is specifically engineered
to perform on a range of power supply voltages,
malfunctions or failure caused by adverse voltage supply
conditions are not covered under guarantee.
Power connections and wiring must be carried out by an
Authorised Electrician.
1) READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2) WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at
all times.
3) WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a
branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the
circuit is protected by a GFCI.
4) The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a
GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on
a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI
should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is
defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the
test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating
the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump.
Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using.
5) WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace
damaged cord immediately.
6) CAUTION – This pump is for use with permanently-installed
pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked.
Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it
cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is
constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled
for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
7) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This SilensorPro 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.
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….”

Installation of the SilensorPro 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.
Weather Protection
It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather. Enclosures
should be ventilated to prevent condensation build-up.

8
Davey Water Products recommends that all installations are
fitted with earth leakage or residual current protection devices.
CAUTION: In the interest of safety, we advise that all brands
and types of pool pumps must be installed in accordance with
AS3000 wiring rules or equivalent.
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.
Heat Pump Connection
The SilensorPro VSD pump can be connected to a heat pump via a simple
two-wire connection, see Figure 1. If your heat pump has the capability to
output a signal when it has turned on, then the pump can use the signal to set
the speed of the pump to a maximum. This maximises the efficiency of your
heat pump to ensure maximum power savings. Dip switch 1 must be set
correctly as per Figure 1.
Figure 1

9
Pipe Connection
Barrel unions are provided for connecting to the piping from the pool. The
pumps are designed to accept 1½” / 2” (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.

Operating your Suction Pool Cleaner
Before installing or purchasing a pool cleaner for use with your SilensorPro
pool pump, it is important to know the minimum flow rates required for it to
operate effectively:
To operate a suction pool cleaner with your SilensorPro VSD pump
1. Activate the High Flow setting (10) and allow the pump to fully prime by
running for around 2 minutes. You will know the pump is primed when you
can see a strong flow of water through the clear leaf basket lid.
2. When all air is expelled from the leaf basket, connect the pool cleaner
hose firmly into the skimmer plate or dedicated wall suction.
3. Select the speed setting that enables best performance from your suction
pool cleaner. Speed 3 to 7 should be ample for most cleaners, however if
the cleaner requires better performance, select speeds 7 to 10.
4. The cleaner should only be connected for as long as is required to clean
the surface of your pool. When cleaning is complete, disconnect the
cleaner and remove the skimmer plate from the skimmer box.
5. Reactivate the most efficient speed setting for daily filtration.
Speeds 1 to 4 is recommended.
NOTE: To get optimum energy efficiency from your
SilensorPro DO NOT keep the suction pool cleaner
connected when cleaning is not required.
Maintenance: Emptying the Strainer Basket
The strainer basket should be inspected frequently through the transparent lid
and emptied when a build-up of rubbish is evident. The directions below should
be followed.
1. Switch off pump.
2. Unscrew the strainer basket lid anti-clockwise and remove.
3. Remove the strainer basket by lifting upwards from its housing.

23
4. Empty the trapped refuse from the basket. Hose out with water if necessary.
NOTE: NEVER knock the plastic basket on a hard surface as it will cause damage.
5. Check the strainer basket for cracks, replace the basket in the pump if OK.
6. Replace the lid and ensure that it seals on the large rubber o-ring. Firm hand
tightness only is required. The o-ring & thread can be lubricated with Hydraslip
or equivalent products.
Failure to undertake regular maintenance may cause damage not
covered by warranty.
Power supply to this pump needs to be through an RCD, having a
rated leakage current not exceeding 30mA.
Trouble Shooting
If the pump runs but there is no water flow or water flow is reduced, the
following condition may apply:
1. The filter requires backwashing or it is blocked. Refer to the relevant section in
the Filter Manual.
2. The pump is not primed. Re-prime as per instruction in ‘Starting the pump’
3. There are air leaks in the suction piping. Check all piping and eliminate leaks,
also check for a loose strainer basket lid. Air bubbles in the water flowing back
to the pool would indicate a leak in the suction to the pump allowing air to enter
the pipework.
4. A leaking pump shaft seal may also prevent operation. Evidence of this would
be water on the ground under the pump.
5. The pump is not able to get water from the pool. Check that the valves to the
pump are fully open and that the pool water level is up to the skimmer box.
6. Blockage in the piping or pump. Remove the strainer basket and check for any
blockage to the pump impeller entry. Check the skimmer box for blockage.
