Section 2. General Description
2.1 Introduction
This manual contains information for the proper
installation, operation, and maintenance of Jandy Pro
Series VS Plus HP pumps. Procedures in this manual
must be followed exactly. To obtain additional copies
of this manual, contact Zodiac Pool Systems LLC at
1.800.822.7933 or visit www.zodiacpoolsystems.com.
2.2 Description
The VS Plus HP is a variable-speed pump that can
run from 600-3450 RPM. When connected to the
JEP-R controller, up to eight (8) speed settings may
be programmed and recalled. This allows you to select
the most appropriate speed for your application. Even
more versatile programming is possible when you use
an AquaLink® RS, AquaLink PDA, or AquaLink Z4
controller.
The pump is driven by a variable speed ECM
(Electronically Commutated Motor) directly attached
to the pump impeller which forces water ow. The rate
variability allows for optimal ow during various pump
cycles. As a result, the energy efciency of the pump is
maximized which means cost savings to the pool owner
while also helping to save the environment.
2.3 Preparation
1. Check the carton for damage. Open the carton
and check for concealed damage, such as cracks,
dents, or a bent base. If you nd damage, contact
the shipper or the distributor where the pump was
purchased.
2. Inspect the contents of the carton and verify that
all parts are included. See “Figure 1. Carton
Contents”.

above the pump to remove the lid and basket.
10. If the equipment is under cover, provide adequate
lighting.
3.1.2 Pipe Sizing
If pump is located within 50 feet (15 m) of the pool,
the recommended minimum pipe size for suction and
discharge is 2.5 inches (64 mm). For lengths greater
than 50 feet increase the pipe size according to “Table 1.
Pipe Sizing for Schedule 40 PVC”.
3.1.3 Installation Recommendations
1. To help prevent dif culty in priming, install the
suction pipe without high points (above inlet of
pump, or inverted “U”s, commonly referred to in
plumbing as “airlocks”) that can trap air.
2. For installations of equipment up to 100 feet
(30 m) from the water, refer to “Table 1. Pipe
Sizing for Schedule 40 PVC”, For installations
of equipment more than 100 feet (30 m) from

3. The pump comes equipped with unions on both
the suction and discharge ports. This feature
simplies installation and service and eliminates
the possibility of leaks at threaded adapters.
4. The pump must be connected to at least two (2)
hydraulically-balanced main drains for each pool
pump suction line. Each drain (suction outlet)
assembly must be equipped with covers and must
be listed or certied to the latest published edition
of ANSI®/ASME®A112.19.8, or its successor
standard, ANSI/APSP-16. The suction ttings of
the main drains must be at least three (3) feet (1
m) apart or at different planes. The suction ttings
can be a drain and skimmer, two (2) drains, two
(2) skimmers, or a skimmer with an equalizer
line installed. Check the local codes for proper
installation.
NOTE To prevent entrapment, the system must be
built so it cannot operate with the pump drawing
waterfromonlyone(1)maindrain.Atleasttwo
(2)maindrainsmustbeconnectedtothepump
whenitisinoperation.Iftwo(2)maindrainsrun
into a single suction line, the single suction line
maybeequippedwithavalvethatwillshutoff
both main drains from the pump.

5. The piping must be well supported and not forced
together where it will experience constant stress.
6. Always use properly sized valves. Jandy Pro
Series Diverter Valves and Ball Valves typically
have the best ow capabilities.
7. Use the fewest ttings possible.
NOTE Ifmorethanten(10)suctionttingsareneeded,
the pipe size must be increased.
8. Every new installation must be pressure tested
according to local codes.
3.2 Electrical Installation
3.2.1 Voltage Checks
The correct voltage, as specied on the pump data plate,
is necessary for proper performance and long motor life.
Incorrect voltage will decrease the pump’s ability to
perform and can cause overheating, reduce motor life,
and result in higher electric utility cost.
It is the responsibility of the electrical installer to
provide the correct operating voltage to the pump by
ensuring proper circuit sizes and wire sizes for the
specic application.
The National Electrical Code®(NEC®, NFPA-70)
requires all pool pump circuits be protected with a
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI). Therefore, it is also
the responsibility of the electrical installer to ensure that
the pump circuit is in compliance with this and all other
applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and any other applicable installation codes.

Jandy®Pro Series VS PlusHP Pumps |Installation & Operation Manual
4.2 Conduct Pressure Test
WARNING
When pressure testing a system with water, air is often
trapped in the system during the filling process. This air
will compress when the system is pressurized. Should
the system fail, this trapped air can propel debris at a
high speed and cause injury. Every effort to remove
trapped air must be taken, including opening the bleed
valve on the filter and loosening the pump basket lid
while filling the pump.
WARNING
Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid
to be blown off, which can result in death, serious
injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is properly
purged out of the system before operating. DO NOT
USE COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR
CHECKFORLEAKS.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure testing
must be done by a trained pool professional. Circulation
equipmentthatisnottestedproperlymightfail,which
could result in severe injury or property damage.
WARNING
When pressure testing the system with water, it is very
important to make sure that the pump basket lid is
completely secure.
1. Fill the system with water, being careful to
eliminate trapped air.
2. Pressurize the system with water to no more than
35 PSI.
3. Close the valve to trap pressurized water in the
system.
4. Carefully observe the system for leaks and/or
pressure decay.
4.3 Start-up
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal
injury or death, verify that all power is turned off before
starting this procedure.
If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping
is clear of construction debris and has been properly
pressure tested. Check the  lter for proper installation,
verifying that all connections and clamps are secure
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
CAUTION
Never run the pump without water. Running the
pump “dry” for any length of time can cause severe
damage to both the pump and motor and will void the
warranty.
1. Release all pressure from the system and open the
 lter pressure release valve.
*
Open pressure relief valve
When all air has been purged
there will be a water discharge.
Pressure relief valve displayed is typical for
Jandy Cartridge Filters. Be sure to check with
your filter manufacturer if the pressure relief
valve on your filter differs from the one displayed.
*
Figure 11. Purge Air from system
2. Take one of the following actions:
a. If the pump is located below the water level of
the pool, open the  lter pressure release valve
to prime the pump with water.
b. If the pump is located above the water level,
remove the lid and  ll the basket with water
before starting the pump.
3. Prior to replacing the lid, check for debris around
the lid o-ring seat. Debris around the lid o-ring
seat will cause air to leak into the system, and
make it dif cult to prime the pump.
4. Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal. Do
not use any tools to tighten the lid: hand-tighten
only. Ensure that the lid is secure. Make sure all
valves are open and the unions are tight.
5. Restore power to the pump and then turn it on.
6. Once all the air has left the  lter, close the  lter
pressure release valve.
7. The pump should prime. The time it takes to
prime will depend on the elevation and length of
pipe used on the suction supply pipe. If the pump
does not prime and all the instructions to this point
have been followed, check for a suction leak. If
there is no leak, repeat Steps 2 through 7.
8. For technical assistance, call Zodiac®Technical
Support at 1.800.822.7933.

Section 5. Maintenance
5.1 Routine Maintenance
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the plastics, do not use lubricant
or sealant on the o-ring. Only soapy water should be
used to install and lubricate the o-ring.
Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through
the clear pump lid. As debris accumulates, it will begin
to block the  ow of water through the pump. Keep the
basket clean to improve the performance of the pump.
1. Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is
located below the water level, close the isolation
valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump to prevent back ow of water.
2. Turn the lid’s locking ring counter-clockwise until
‘START’ aligns with the ports. Carefully remove
the lid.
CAUTION
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be improperly
seated, allowing an air leak, which could result in pump
damage.
3. Lift the basket out of the pump. Dispose of all
debris and thoroughly clean the basket, making
sure all the holes are open. Using a garden hose,
spray the basket from the outside to help clear the
holes. Remove any remaining debris by hand.
4. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the
open section of the basket with the inlet pipe. If
aligned properly, the basket will drop easily into
place. Do not force it into place.
5. Remove the lid o-ring and remove debris around
the lid o-ring seat, as this will cause air leaks into
the system. Clean the lid o-ring and replace it.
NOTE Make sure the lid seal is correctly oriented.
Ensure proper seal orientation
when replacing the lid
Figure 12. Replace Lid and Seal
6. Replace the lid with locking ring on the pump
housing. Align ‘START’ with the ports and turn
the lid’s locking ring clockwise until ‘LOCKED’
aligns with the ports. Hand-tighten the lid to
make an air tight seal. Do not use any tools to
tighten the lid.
7. Verify that all valves have been returned to the
proper position for normal operation.
8. Open the pressure release valve on the  lter, and
make sure it is clean and ready for operation.
9. Turn on the power to the pump. Once all the air
has been evacuated from the  lter, close the  lter
pressure release valve.
5.2 Winterizing the Pump
CAUTION
The pump must be protected when freezing
temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump to
freeze will cause severe damage and void the warranty.
CAUTION
Do not use antifreeze solutions in the pool, spa, or
hot tub systems! Antifreeze is highly toxic and may
damage the circulation system. The only exception to
this is Propylene Glycol. For more information, see
yourlocalpool/spasupplystoreorcontactaqualified
swimming pool service company.
1. Drain all water from the pump, system equipment,
and piping.
2. Remove the two (2) drain plugs. Store the drain
plugs in a safe location and reinstall them when
the cold weather season is over. Do not lose the
o-rings.
3. Keep the motor covered and dry. Do not cover it
with plastic, as this will create condensation and
this moisture will damage the pump.
NOTE Toprotectyourpump,ZodiacPoolSystems
LLCrecommendshavingaqualiedservice
technician or electrician properly disconnect
the electrical wiring at the switch or junction
box.Oncethepowerisremoved,thetwo(2)
unions can be loosened and the pump stored
indoors. For safety, and to prevent entry of
contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminal
box covers.
4. When the system is reopened for operation, make
sure all piping, valves, wiring, and equipment
are in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Pay close attention to the  lter
and electrical connections.
5. The pump must be primed prior to starting; refer
to “4.3 Start-up”

to pool and/or
less water being
pulled in by
skimmer.
Verify that skimmer baskets, pump basket and other screens are clean. Clean as necessary.
Check filter and clean as necessary.
Check valve positions. Adjust as necessary.
NOTEMultiplepiecesofequipmentoperatingatonetime(forexample,waterfalls,spajets,andsurface
returns)willaffecttheproperoperationofthecleaningsystem.
Check the cleaning system manual to ensure that the system is adjusted according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Bubbles are
present in the
pump basket.
Air is in the system. Check the pool or spa water level to ensure that it is at the proper level and air is not
being drawn into the suction piping. If the water is at the normal level, turn off the pump. Turn the lid's locking
ring counter-clockwise until 'START' aligns with the ports. Remove the lid and check for debris around the
lid seal seat OR improper installation of the lid seal, as either condition will allow air to leak into the system.
Clean the lid seal and replace it on the lid. Replace the lid on the pump housing. Align 'START' with the ports
andturnthelockingringclockwiseuntil'LOCKED'alignswiththeports.Hand-tighten the lid to make an air-
tight seal. Do not use any tools to tighten the lid. Turn the pump back on.
Air leaks are still
present.
Check the suction side piping union. While the pump is running, try to tighten the union. If this does not stop
the air leak, turn off the pump. Loosen both unions and slide the pump out of the way. Remove, clean, and
re-install both union o-rings.
Reposition the pump next to the piping and secure the union nuts to the pump. With clean union o-rings,
hand-tightening of the unions should create a seal. If the unions still do not seal, gently tighten with a large
pair of tongue-and-groove pliers.
Do not over-tighten.
There is no air in
the system, but
the pressure is
still low.
It is possible that debris is caught in the pump impeller. The pump impeller moves the water, and the vanes in the
impeller can become blocked with debris.
There is no debris
blocking the
