DIMENSIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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/owners
responsibility to locate the pump so that it can be accessed for service and maintenance. The
rear fan shroud should be installed at a minimum distance of 100 mm away from any walls or
obstructions. This is to allow adequate air flow from the fan to cool the motor. Overheating due
to a lack of cooling voids warranty.
WEATHER PROTECTION
It is recommended that the pump be protected from the weather.
Enclosures should be ventilated to allow a free flow of air for the fan cooled motor.
POWER CONNECTION
OASIS pool and spa pumps are suitable for connection to a nominal 240-volt 50Hz power supply.
The motor is equipped with a flex and 3-pin plug. If a power outlet is not available within 2 meters of
the pump, a 3-pin power point in a safe, dry place may need to be provided by an electrician.
Note:
•Pumps must be either
oSupplied by an isolating transformer, or
oSupplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA.
•Extension cords are unsafe around pools and must be avoided.
•If the supply cord of this product is damaged the dealer or manufacturer must replace it,
with genuine OASIS pool and spa pump spares.
•Water temperature is not to exceed 45 degrees

PIPE CONNECTION
A barrel union is provided for connecting to the piping from the pool.
The pumps are designed to accept the following PVC Pipes:
•Inlet PVC Position 40mm pipe ID or 50mm fitting ID PVC pressure pipe fittings
•Outlet PVC Position 40mm pipe ID or 50mm fitting ID PVC pressure pipe fittings
The use of pipe with a smaller ID than those specified above is not recommended and may cause
damage to the pump voiding warranty.
A straight length of pipe measuring no less than 300mm should be installed in front of the inlet of
the pump allowing quieter and smoother operation.
Suction piping should be free from all air leaks and any humps and hollows, which may cause
suction difficulties.
The outlet piping from the pump should be connected to the inlet connection on the swimming pool
filter (at the filter valve).
For pump installations above water level, it generally requires a check valve in the suction line.
Do not use type ‘P’ (green) plumber’s glue on the barrel unions as this may cause damage to the
material used.
Always install pump for maintenance and service accessibility.
USAGE WARNING
•The V SERIES is manufactured with technological advances including PCB’s and microchips. It
is necessary to turn power off completely for 10 seconds prior to turning pump back on again
•Some brands of older style chlorinators may release a small amount of power to the even
whilst it seems turned off. It this occurs the PUMP may not reset correctly until power is
completely disconnected.
•In some cases, chlorinator manufacturers may be able to modify internal components so as to
work in with the V310. If not a suitable chlorinator may be required.
•Oasis’s CX chlorinator completely disconnects power to the pump when the pump is in off
mode.

OPERATION
STARTING THE PUMP
To operate efficiently and to prevent damage to the pump there must be a free flow of water to
and from the pump. Before starting ensure that:
•All pipe work is correctly sealed.
•Barrel unions on the inlet and outlet are hand tightened and the pipework is installed
square to the pump.
•The pool/spa water level is at the correct height.
•That all appropriate valves are open and there is nothing preventing the flow of water
through the system.
1. First prime the pump by removing the strainer basket lid and filling the strainer basket area
with water. Replace the lid, ensuring that it seals on the large o-ring.
2. Connect to the power supply and switch on.
3. Allow the pump to run, so that any air trapped in the pipe work and pump may be expelled.
4. If prime is not established within approximately two minutes, as evidenced by a strong flow of
water from the outlet, switch off the pump for 10 secs and repeat the procedure. Continued
evidence of air under the hair and lint pot lid indicates an air leak in the suction piping work,
which should be rectified to avoid pump damage.
5. If water flow through the pump is continuously tedious to obtain at start-up after cleaning the
lint basket, then an examination of the system to establish a reason and correct the cause.
(ie. Check valve, air leaks, faulty seal/s, crack lid.

V310 VARIABLE 3 SPEED OPERATION
The V SERIES PUMP has 3 speed settings.
1. Eco (Energy Saving)
•This should be used for everyday water filtration
•The pump should be operated for approximately 8 hours per day depending on the
surrounding climate, bather loads, pool volume and length of pipework.
•In some cases when your pool has areas where water is not turning over, increase the
speed setting
•This setting is not recommend to be used with a suction cleaner but may work.
2. Med
•This should be used for gentle spa jet action and the majority of suction cleaners when
connected to a skimmer box
3. High
•This should be used for backwashing, manual vacuuming of the pool, operating gentle or
soft spa jets and/or water features.
PLEASE NOTE
•The V SERIES PUMP will always run at “high” speed for 5 minutes upon start up or a filter
cycle. This assists with priming of the pump and pipe work.
•After the initial 5 minutes the PUMP will revert back to the previous selected speed it was
set at before it was turned off.
•Priming function can be disable, however, this is not recommended

OASIS’S RECOMMENDATION
•During day-to-day operation we recommend to run the PUMP on “eco” for 8 hours. This
will achieve the lowest noise and lowest operating costs.
•In some cases (larger pools, warmer climates and increase bather loads you may have to
increase the speed setting or operating duration. This will still provide you with significant
savings.

WATER QUALITY
Maintaining balanced water chemistry is important to the life of your pool pump.
This pump is designed to be used with Pool & Spa water, balanced in accordance with Langlier
Saturation Index, with a pH level of between 7.2 and 7.8 and is regularly treated with a chlorine
sanitizing agent with the level not exceeding recommended chlorine levels.
Please consult your local pool shop regularly to have your water tested.
EMPTYING THE HAIR AND LINT POT
The hair and lint pot strainer basket should be inspected frequently through the transparent lid and
emptied when a build up of rubbish is evident.
Follow the directions below.
1. Switch off pump.
2. Unscrew the hair and lint pot strainer basket lid anti-clockwise and remove.
3. Remove the hair and lint pot strainer basket by lifting upwards from its housing.
4. Empty the trapped refuse from the basket. Hose out with water if necessary.
5. Check the hair and lint pot strainer basket for cracks, replace the strainer 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 silicone grease.
HOW TO CONNECT TO SUCTION CLEANERS
•It is important that the PUMP is fully primed when connected to a suction cleaner.
•Switch pump to “high” setting for 2 minutes if pump is currently switched on, or allow for
initial 5 minute prime.
•Connect cleaner hose to skimmer plate only after air has been purged from top of hair and
lint pot
•Select speed (usually “med”) at which the cleaner will travel to all areas of the pool
•Disconnect cleaner and remove from pool once it is cleaned. Change setting back (usually
“eco”) to your daily filtration requirements.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the pump does not operate, one of the following conditions may apply:
A. The power is not connected. For 240 volt only.
B. Check the power point by plugging in a portable appliance to ensure power is available.
C. Check fuses and the main power supply switch
D. Automatic overload is tripped. The pump has an in-built thermal overload, which will re-set
automatically after the motor has cooled following an overheating period. Determine the
cause of the overload tripping and rectify.
E. Pump needs to be disconnect for 10 secs and reconnected
F. Blockage is preventing the pump from rotating.
G. If plugged into chlorinator, disconnect and reconnect directly to power after 10 secs. If it
then works, please check your chlorinator manual.
H. Motor is burnt out - burning smell is evident. Replacement is required.
I. If you are unable to resolve any installation or operation difficulties with your OASIS pool
and spa pump, contact the supplier from whom the pump was purchased or you’re nearest
Authorized OASIS pool and spa pump Pool Equipment Service Centre. If any further
assistance is required, contact the OASIS Customer Service Centre at the address indicated
in this manual.
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.
2. Disconnect the suction cleaner
3. Check the skimmer box for blockage.
4. The pump is not primed, increase speed. If this doesn’t work within 1 minute turn off. (See
‘Starting the pump’)
5. 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 infiltrate the pipe work.
6. 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.
7. A leaking pump seal may also prevent operating. Evidence of this would be water on the
ground under the pump.
8. Blockage in the piping or pump. Remove the hair and lint pot strainer basket and check for
any blockage to the pump impeller entry.
9. You may require a check valve installed.
Removal of the Pump from Pipe work
1. To remove the pump, follow these instructions:
2. Switch off the power and remove the plug from the power source.
3. Close the water valves on the pool return and the pump inlet pipe work.
4. Remove the discharge & suction barrel unions taking care not to lose the o-rings.
5. Move the pipe work with the barrel unions attached until the pump can be moved clear.
