WARNING – Pool and spa components (seals, gaskets, etc.) have a nite 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 qualied 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 owing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualied
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, ngers, toes, or knuckles to be
caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.

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. oor 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 ttings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
• Dual suction ttings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
• The maximum system ow 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 lter 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 lter control valve position while pump is
running. Before starting pump, fully open lter manual air relief valve. Do not close lter 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
lter 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
lter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in lter 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 iso-
lated from any ammable structures or foreign debris they can cause res, 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 dened instructions may result in severe personal injury or
death.

POOL
features
schedule
The energy consumed by a pool pump is measured in terms of Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW). Because the VS Omni displays power consumption in watts, you
can easily determine the cost of operating the pump at the given speed. After installation, to display power consumption at any time, follow the screens below:
ON
ON
MED HIGH CUSTOMLOW
POOL
vsp pump
Pool Features Screen Pump Control Screen
The power consumption will be displayed in watts. To calculate power costs, refer to the example below:
VS Omni 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
*National Average (use your actual cost of electricity for more accurate results)
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.
• 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.
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.
