SOLAR POWERED SWIMMING POOL PUMP
HIDRO-SP Series
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Please read this operation manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Solar Pool Pump.
Solar powered products are environmentally friendly, self-sufficient as well financial
benefit to reduce rising electrical cost. Our product range is designed with durability
and reliability in mind to provide trouble free service throughout the life of the product.
Our Solar Pumps can be used for:
● Agriculture
● Pool applications
● Water pumping needs
● Water Fountains
Care and disclaimer
It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with these important instructions.
Read the complete manual before commencing the installation.
Although the solar panel connections are considered low voltage, there is still a
possibility of electrical shock. During the connection stage of the solar panels, it is
recommended that the panels be covered with dark cloth or cardboard until
connections are completes and you are ready to carry out voltage tests.
Do not switch the power on unless all connectins and voltage readings are correct.
The pump leaf basket must be filled with water before attempting to start the system.
Installation Details
Solar photovoltaic panels convert sunlight to electrical energy which is fed to the
solar controller. Using MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology, the solar
controller maintains constant voltage and converts the single phase DC to 3 phase
DC to power the pumps 3 phase DC motor.

Sizing the solar panel array to suit the system
If you have not purchased a complete system from your Certified Distributer the
following formula will be sueful. Your certified distributer will be able to help you with
panel selection.
The optimum loaded DC voltage (Vmp) for the solar controller is between 42VDC to
83VDC.
For Hidro-SP067
The maximum open circuit voltage (Voc) is 100VDC. CONNECTION OF SOLAR
PANELS WITH TOTAL OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 100VDC WILL
VOID WARRANTY.
For Hidro-SP120, Hidro-SP160
TATAL OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 150VDC WILL VOID
WARRANTY.
Solar Panel Requirements
Recommended Power of PV panels (watts)= Rated power of pump (watts)×1.3~1.6
Example:
One SP-067 pump
Power=500 watt pump needs a minimum of 500 watts multiplied by 1.3 to maximum
1.6 to drive the DC motor (500w × 1.3= Minimum Panel wattage required 650w)
Optimum 800 Watt
You may need combinations of series and parallel connections of panels, especially
for the larger pumps. The requied voltage is achieved by connecting the solar panels
in series (series string). The total power requirement (watts) is achieved by
connecting further series strings in parallel.
Panels in series: add the voltage and the wattage of the panels.
Example: 2×36 volt, 8 Amp 200 watt panels in series becomes a 72 volt 8 Amp 400
watt system.

Example 2×36 volt, 8 Amp 200 watt panels in parallel becomes a 36 volt 16 Amp 400
watt system.

Pool connections using Existing AC Pump
Testing the pump
Once all connections to controller and the pump are complete, and voltages and
polarity have been confirmed, FILL LEAF BASKET reservoir with water then the pump
can be started:
1. Switch Internal controller switch ON
The pump has a "soft start function" and will start slowly after 6 seconds and then
spin up to full speed within the next 6 seconds.
NOTE: Looking at the motor from the back (fan) the motor should spin clockwise.

If not, turn power off, swap the wires on U and V, turn power on and check again.
Do not allow the pump to rotate anticlockwise or the pump and/or motor will be
damaged and warranty will be void. If the motor continues spin backwards, turn
everything off and call for service advice.
NOTE: Once installation is complete the internal ON/OFF switch will remain ON
and the isolator will be uesd as the main ON/OFF switch.
Do's and don'ts
Do be careful with wiring.
Do put your solar PV panels in a sunny position facing true north (southern
hemisphere) or true south (northern hemisphere). For best results tilt the panels at
an angle equal to your latitude.
Don't run the pump dry, even momentarily, as warranty will be void.
Don't use the pump in dirty and or contaminated water, Premature wear will not be
covered by warranty.
Don't disassemble the controller. There are no user parts inside.
Do's Strainer basket to be cleaned to prevent the pump from water starvation.
Do;s Install spark arrestor for high voltage spoke.
Do's Install appropriate AC breakers for panels &battery bank.
