1.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing or servicing this electrical equipment, turn power supply OFF.
WARNING –READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS in
this owner’s manual and on the equipment. Failure to follow instructions can cause severe injury and/or death.
WARNING –This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.
CAUTION –All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with all applicable local codes, regulations, and the
National Electric Code (NEC).
ATTENTION INSTALLER - THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFE USE OF THIS VARIABLE SPEED PUMP THAT MUST BE
FURNISHED TO THE END USER OF THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING –To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely
supervise children at all times. Components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters must be positioned to
prevent children from using them as a means of access to the pool.
CAUTION –This pump is intended for use on permanently installed swimming 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. Though this product is
designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical components from the weather. Select a well-
drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. It requires free circulation of air for cooling. Do not install in a damp or
non-ventilated location. If installed within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa, adequate ventilation
and free circulation of air must be provided to prevent overheating of the motor.
WARNING –Pool and spa components (seals, gaskets, etc.) have a finite life. All components should be
inspected frequently and replaced at least every ten years, or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not
securely attached.

WARNING –Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local
codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious
property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply.
Provide a properly located electrical receptacle. Before working on pump or motor, turn off power supply to the pump.
WARNING –To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to
prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
WARNING –Risk of Electric Shock. In accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), 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. 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 circuit 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.
WARNING –Failure to bond pump to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result in
injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on
how to bond pump. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug
to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding
wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the pump housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot
tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to,
grounding, bonding and other general wiring procedures.
WARNING –Suction Entrapment Hazard. Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers, which
are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment
hazards (symbols complements of APSP):
Hair Entrapment - Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment - A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged,
broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment - A differential pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an
entrapment.
Evisceration/ Disembowelment - A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction
outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in
evisceration/disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment - There is potential for jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, fingers, toes, or knuckles to be
caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

Page 6 of 32 IS3206VSP3J Rev-A
WARNING –To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump
must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’)
[0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the values shown in the “Pipe Sizing Chart” found in section 4.3
below.
Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely
attached.
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest APSP standards and CPSC
guidelines, follow all national, state, and local codes applicable.
Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING –Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous
pressure during start-up, normal operation, and after pump shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during
pump start-up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing
and cover due to pressure in the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before
servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air
relief valve must be in open position. Before starting pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system
water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter control valve position while pump is running. Before starting pump,
fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or
air and water mix) is discharged from the valve. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the
circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent
separation of pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring.
Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air
relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not
assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter manual air relief
valve body is in locked position in filter upper body. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the
circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –Never operate the circulation system at more than 50 PSI maximum.
WARNING –Fire and burn hazard. Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly
isolated from any flammable structures or foreign debris they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal injury or
death. It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to minimize the risk for
burns.
WARNING –Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.

2.General Information
2.1. Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper installation and operation of the 1.85 or 2.7THP variable speed pumps.
The instructions in this manual MUST be followed precisely.
2.2. Product Dimensions
3.Energy Efficiency Overview
The energy consumed by a pool pump is measured in terms of Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW). The JVS185 and JVS270S variable
speed pumps display power consumption in Watts. Given this information, you can determine the cost of operating the pump:
Power consumption of pump X Cost of electricity = Cost of Pump Operation per Hour
Example: Variable speed pump operating at 300 W. Cost of electricity = $0.10 per kWh
Convert Watts to Kilowatts: 300 W = 0.3 kW
0.3 kW X $0.10/kWh = $0.03 per hour
Note the power consumption is greatly affected by the speed of the pump. Lowering the speed of the pump can drastically
reduce the power that is consumed. Below are some of the major benefits of running the pump at lower speeds.
Benefits of running at low speeds
Save electricity and money
Improved filtration –the filter can often remove smaller particles when the water moves slower
Quiet operation
Reduced Total Dynamic Head –less stress on equipment (e.g. filter) which can lengthen equipment life
When determining the speed(s) to operate your pump, you must also take into account the minimum
requirements for proper sanitation and equipment/water feature functionality.
It is recommended you filter (“turnover”) all the water in the pool at least once every 24 hours. Check with local requirements
for the minimum turnover rate. Running the pump at a lower speed may require running the pump for a longer period of time
in order to meet the turnover requirements for proper sanitation.

Page 8 of 32 IS3206VSP3J Rev-A
Equipment such as heaters, skimmers, and chlorinators require minimum flows to operate correctly. Refer to individual
equipment manuals for specific flow requirements.
After setting the pump speed(s), it is recommended you check that all other equipment/water features are functioning as
intended. For example, when running at a low speed for daily filtration, verify water is adequately flowing over the skimmer
weirs. Operate the pump at higher speeds for the shorter periods of time needed to operate a heater, water feature, etc.
4.Installation and Wiring
WARNING –This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.
4.1. Pump Location
Locate pump as close to pool as practical and run suction lines as direct as possible to reduce friction loss. Suction lines
should have continuous slope upward from lowest point in line. Joints must be tight (but not over-tightened). Suction line
diameter must equal or be larger than the discharge line diameter.
Though the pump is designed for outdoor use, it is advised to place pump and filter in the
shade to shield them from continuous direct heat. Select a well-drained area that will not
flood when it rains. Do NOT install pump and filter in a damp or non-ventilated location.
Keep motor clean. Pump motors require free circulation of air for cooling.
4.2. Pump Mounting
Install pump on a level concrete slab or other rigid base to meet all local and national codes. Secure pump to base with
screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. The base must be level, rigid, and vibration
free.
Pump mount must:
Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Allow for valves in suction and discharge piping.
Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.

Note: It is recommended that a minimum length of straight piping (shown as “L” in above diagram), equivalent to 5 pipe
size diameters, be used between the pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings (elbows, valves, etc.).
When installing the VS pump, care should be taken to ensure proper pipe and equipment sizing to handle
the maximum flow required. It is recommended to set the maximum speed in order to not exceed the
maximum flow rate. See section 6.6 item #7.

Page 9 of 32 IS3206VSP3J Rev-A
WARNING –Hazardous Pressure. Pumps, filters, and other equipment/ components of a swimming pool
filtration system operate under pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested filtration equipment and/or
components may fail resulting in severe personal injury or death.
4.4. Plumbing
1. Use PTFE tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or
thoroughly cleaned before use. NOTE - Do NOT use Plumber’s Pipe Dope as it may cause cracking of the plastic
components. When applying PTFE tape to plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the male fitting with
one to two layers of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the
fitting. The pump suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector
fitting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then
use a tool to engage fitting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care when using PTFE tape as friction is reduced considerably;
do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause damage. If leaks occur, remove connector, clean off old PTFE tape, re-
wrap with one to two additional layers of PTFE tape, and re-install connector.
2. Fittings (elbows, tees, valves, etc.) restrict flow. For better efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings. Avoid fittings
that could cause an air trap. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.
4.5. Electrical
WARNING –All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code
(NEC).
WARNING –Ground and bond pump before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground and
bond pump can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line. To avoid dangerous or
fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to pump before working on electrical connections. Fire Hazard - match supply
voltage to pump nameplate voltage. Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the pump’s voltage, phase, and
cycle, and that the wire size is adequate for the amps rating and distance from the power source. Use copper conductors
only.
4.6. Electrical Specs
Refer to motor nameplate for voltage and current ratings. Use copper conductors only. For indoor & outdoor use.
Connect pump to a 15 amp branch circuit in accordance with local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code
(NEC). A disconnecting means located at least 5 ft. from the inside wall of the pool, spa, or hot tub must be provided.
4.7. Voltage
Voltage at pump MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below nameplate rated voltage, or components may overheat,
causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage when
pump is running at full load, consult the power company.
4.8. Grounding and Bonding
1. Install, ground, bond, and wire pump in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.
2. Permanently ground pump. Use green ground terminal provided under access plate; use size and type wire required by
code. Connect ground terminal to electrical service ground.
3. Bond pump to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with a continuous wire.
Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded metal objects, which could potentially cause electrical
shock if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding,
bonding and general wiring procedures.
4. Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh.
Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure
wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all
electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool,
spa, or hot tub.

4.9. Wiring
WARNING –All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and National Electric Code
(NEC)
1. Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to
add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the circuit breaker as the master On-Off
switch.
2. If this VS pump is being used to replace an existing pump that was controlled by a separate mechanical time clock, it
should be connected directly to the line power supply, bypassing the time clock. The time clock can then be used to
power other equipment (such as a heater, heat pump, or booster pump) that requires the filter pump to be operating
when used. If the time clock is used in this manner, it should be set to power the equipment during a time cycle when
the VS pump is operating at an appropriate flow rate to operate the other equipment, as defined by the timers set in
the Timer Menu. See section 6.7
4.10. Remote Control Wiring/Operation
The JVS185S and JVS270S pumps can be controlled as described below:
1. They can operate by themselves in Stand-Alone Mode using their built-in programmable timers.
2. They can also be controlled from third party controls (i.e. another manufacturer’s control) using relay contacts. See
section 5.3 for more information regarding connecting this pump and third party/non-software compatible controls.
3. They can communicate with and be controlled by Hayward pool and spa controls. See section 5.4 for more
information regarding connecting this pump to Hayward pool and spa controls.
4.11. Digital Control Interface Orientation
The Digital Control Interface can be rotated to any of four desired positions after installation by loosening the two screws
securing the user interface to the motor drive, lifting the user interface and rotating it to the desired position, and

ATTENTION –THIS PUMP CAN ALSO BE SET SO THAT IT WILL CONTINUE RUNNING IN THE
EVENT OF COMMUNICATION LOSS. When inputs are activated via wire jumpers, the pump will respond to a
communication loss (after a 4 minute delay) as follows:
1. No inputs connected: pump remains stopped
2. INP1 connected: pump runs 3450 rpm for 8 minutes, then 1725 rpm
3. INP2 connected: pump runs 3450 rpm for 8 minutes, then 2600 rpm
4. INP3 connected: pump runs 3450 rpm
See section 5.4 for details regarding input connections (relays would not be used when connecting inputs to set comm
loss behavior; use short jumpers in this case). Note: Prior to drive comm revision 10.10, pump response was as follows:
no inputs connected –pump runs 3450 rpm for 8 minutes then 1725 rpm; INP1 connected –pump runs 3450 rpm for 8
minutes then 2600 rpm; INP2 connected –pump runs 3450; INP3 connected –pump remains stopped. Jumpers, if used
to set desired behavior in the event of communication loss, need to be installed at initial pump installation.
When communicating with OmniLogic, the HUA (Hayward Unique Address) is used for communication. For all Hayward
controls other than OmniLogic, the pump address must be set using the DIP switches on the drive PCB. To determine which

Connection wire must be rated for a minimum of 300V. Inputs are rated to accept a low voltage supply of 18-30 VAC, 9-
30 VDC, 50/60 Hz. The “+12V” and “COM” terminals may be used as a low voltage supply, however, these terminals also
supply power to the user interface, so care must be taken when connecting to these terminals to ensure proper operation
of the user interface. DIP switch #1 must be “ON”.
This pump can be controlled from third party pool controls that are not software compatible using relay contacts to select
the speeds set in the Timer Menu (see section 6.7). In addition to this section you may also consult the applicable pool
control installation manual for electrical connection details. Once installed, Remote Control Mode must be set to Relay
Control in the pump Configuration Menu (see section 6.6). Preset Speeds 1-4 and Quick Clean are disabled when the pump
is remotely controlled. When inputs INP1-3 are activated via the pool control relay contacts, timer speeds 1-8 are selected
according to the following table (see section 6.7):

The number of speeds available depends on the number of auxiliary relays used as noted below:
1. Filter pump relay plus 1 auxiliary relays allows control of 2 speeds
2. Filter pump relay plus 2 auxiliary relays allows control of 4 speeds
3. Filter pump relay plus 3 auxiliary relays allows control of 8 speeds
5.4. Wall Mounted Digital Control Interface Wiring (Optional)
Figure 5.4-1
Connection wire must be rated for a minimum of 300V, and may be up to 500 feet in length. Use removable 4-position
terminal block connectors for wiring connection to interface and motor drive PCB’s taking care to note the wire colors
and corresponding numbers next to the connectors. Terminal block must be installed with screws facing up to ensure
proper connection. DIP switch #1 must be “ON”.

5.5. Remote Stop Switch Wiring (Optional)
Figure 5.5-1
Connection wire must be rated for a minimum of 300V. Switch must be latching type; pump is stopped when circuit is
closed. Inputs are rated to accept a low voltage supply of 18-30 VAC, 9-30 VDC, 50/60 Hz. The “+12V” and “COM”
terminals may be used as a low voltage supply, however these terminals also supply power to the user interface , so care
must be taken when connecting to these terminals to ensure proper operation of user interface. If the “+12V” and “COM”
terminals are used, DIP switch #1 must be “ON”.
6.Startup & Operation
6.1. Prior to Start-Up
If it is necessary to perform a water pressure test prior to initial use to ensure plumbing system is functioning properly,
then the following criteria should be maintained for this test:
1. Have a professional perform this test.
2. Ensure all pump and system components are removed from system prior to performing test.
WARNING –If circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during water pressure test, do not
apply more than 10 psi pressure to the system. Be sure water pressure has been released, using the filter manual air relief
valve, before removing pump strainer cover.
WARNING –All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as filter air relief valve (if available) on
filter, when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.

Page 18 of 32 IS3206VSP3J Rev-A
6.2. Starting/Priming the Pump
Refer to item #10 in section 6.6 for priming time selection.
Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO
NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the
pump.
WARNING –Return to filter to close filter manual air relief valve when a steady stream of water (not air or
air and water) is discharged from valve. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
ATTENTION –NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water acts as a coolant and
lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal. NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage,
flooding, and voids warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.
ATTENTION –Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding
undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty.
ATTENTION –Before removing strainer cover:
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system using filter manual air relief valve. See filter owner’s manual for
more details.
4. Remove strainer cover and fill strainer housing with water.
5. Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" if necessary.
6. Replace strainer cover on strainer housing.
7. OPEN VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
Note: Tighten strainer cover lock ring by hand only (no wrenches).
Turn on power and wait for pump to prime, which can take up to ten (10) minutes. Priming time will depend on vertical
length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within 10 minutes, stop motor and
determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.
