Noria ECO:100 Guide

INSTALLATION & OPERATION
ECO:100
ECO:150

OVERVIEW
Noria ECO pumps are intelligently designed to easily meet demand when required and give
optimum energy efficiency with greatly reduced noise levels. If run on a low speed setting the
ECO pump will significantly reduce the overall pool operating costs of up to 80%.
Quality materials and workmanship, rigid construction and a single piece of super tough and
highly stable reinforced thermoplastic makes the Noria ECO pumps outstandingly durable.
The Noria ECO difference continues with the use of stainless steel shafts for strength; larger
hair and lint pots reduce the need for frequent cleaning. The research invested in Noria ECO
pumps is reflected in the user-friendly, easy to open inspection lids and barrel unions.
The Noria ECO pump is part of a range of intensively researched, high quality, connected
products that work in harmony to ensure the pool is easy to maintain and ready for use at any
time.

PRESSURE-FLOW PERFORMANCE

INSTALLATION
1. The pump should be installed on a hard surface such as a concrete slab or paver. The
pump should be installed in a well ventilated enclosure that is resistant to flooding or
other water damage.
2. Place the pump in the position required ensuring there is at least 100mm of spacing
between the fan cowling and the wall of the enclosure. This ensures sufficient
ventilation for cooling.
3. Fit the threaded nut and tail to the suction and the discharge ports of the pump
ensuring the O-rings are attached (40mm and 50mm are supplied depending on the
size of pipe).
4. Plumb the suction side of the pump to the skimmer (suction) pipe including any valves
required.
5. Plumb the discharge side of the pump to the filter inlet including any valves required.
6. Plug the power lead into an approved power supply.
DO NOT SWITCH ON
7. Allow a minimum of 2 hours for the glue to set (for best results wait 8 hours).
NOTE: Be sure to use primer to clean any pipe and fittings before gluing together with
Type P pressure glue (Type P is formulated as a high bond strength, PVC pipe cement in all
pressure applications for bonding PVC pipe and fittings).This ensures a quality join.

START-UP PROCEDURE
Your ECO pump (variable speed pump) is designed for maximum energy efficiency whilst still
keeping your pool crystal clear. To maximise the energy efficiency, the ECO pump should be
run at the lowest speed setting possible to efficiently filter your pool water. It is recommended
that the first speed setting (Green Button) should be set to this filtration speed and used for at
least 6-8 hours per day, whilst the second speed setting (Pink Button) is set for use only with
automatic suction cleaners and used once a week only. The third speed setting (Blue Button)
should be set to maximum speed and only used for backwashing and manual vacuuming.
Once the pump has been plumbed in and the glue has cured, it is time to prime the pump.
Follow the instructions below:
1. Check all the connections are hand tight
2. Remove the lid from the pump by turning the lock ring anti-clockwise - put these aside for
later use
3. Fill the hair and lint pot with water to the bottom of the inlet (around 4 litres)
4. Refit the lid and lock ring ensuring the O-ring is in place
5. Open any inline valves. Make sure the filter multiport valve is not in the closed position.
6. Switch on the power at the power supply and the ECO pump will automatically run the
“priming” mode (full speed) for 3 minutes. The pump should automatically prime within
this period but if it doesn’t please follow steps 1 through to step 6 again. Once the pump
has primed, select the first speed setting (green) and adjust the speed for best filtration
flow ensuring the salt chlorinator cell (if fitted) has filled with water.
NOTE: If pump has not primed after the second attempt, please contact your pool
professional to prevent damage to the mechanical seal occurring from insufficient
water flow.

SETTING THE SPEED
Normal Operation Mode at startup
Press Button:
For ECO Mode (LED will flash when selected)
For MEDIUM Mode (LED will flash when selected)
For HIGH Mode (LED will flash when selected)
Off Button (LED will flash when selected)
NOTE
●If power is removed the
motor will return to the last
speed selected when power
is restored
●Motor will remember the
ON/OFF state
●If there is a fault, the LED
screen will display an error
code - note the error code
and consult your local agent
Adjustable Speed Mode:
(this feature is available following the 5 minute priming period)
Press Button:
Press and Hold: , or
for approximately 3 seconds (until the LED begins to flash) to
switch to ‘Adjustable Speed Mode’.
Holding all 3 buttons for 3 seconds will reset the speeds to default.
To decrease selected mode by 25 RPM increments
To save the current speed setting and return to normal operation mode
To increase selected mode by 25 RPM increments
Will cancel the change and revert back to the original speed and return to
normal operation mode

PUMP CARE
CLEANING THE BASKET
1. Switch off the pump at the power supply
2. Close any valves on the pipe work
3. Unscrew the lid locking ring and remove the lid
4. Remove the pump basket
5. Empty debris
6. Refit the basket
7. Refit the lid and tighten lid locking ring
8. Open the valves on the pipe work
9. Switch on at the power supply
LEAKS
If the ground around the pump is wet or damp it indicates there is a leak. Trace the leak to the
source and repair the problem.
1. Check to make sure all the barrel unions are tight and O-rings are fitted
2. If the pump lid leaks when the system is turned off ensure the O-ring is lubricated and
fitted correctly
3. If no visible leaks are seen but water is still visible around the base of the pump, it
indicates the mechanical seal has failed. Switch off the pump and contact your pool
professional as soon as possible. A leaking mechanical seal will cause motor damage.

PUMP CARE
MOTOR
The motor should be in a well ventilated area free of debris. It is essential that the area is dry
as water can cause damage to the electrics. The motor is fitted with a thermal overload
switch and may cut out if the pump overheats. It will automatically reset itself when the motor
cools. Water temperature is not to exceed 45°C.
SEALS
The pump has O-rings that require occasional lubrication. It is imperative that a silicone based
lubricant is used. DO NOT use petroleum based products as these result in damage to the
O-rings.
The mechanical seal consists of two parts. A spring loaded rotating seal with a polished
carbon face and a stationary ceramic seat. When pressed together these surfaces create a
seal between the wet end and the motor. Damage to this seal may occur when running the
pump without water flowing through it. This type of damage is easily detected and may not be
covered by your warranty. Monitor the water level in the pool regularly. Empty the skimmer and
pump baskets and clean the filter on a regular basis.
DO NOT operate the pump with inline or filter multiport valves closed.
