OR DEATH. THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF THE
MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION
OUTLETS!
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, include the following:
Do not permit children to use this product.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. 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.
This 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 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.
This pump is for use with permanent 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.
THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A
STRONG VACUUM AT THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY
OF WATER. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN TRAP ADULTS
OR CHILDREN UNDER WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A
DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION:
PUMPS REQUIRE HIGH VOLTAGE WHICH CAN
SHOCK, BURN, OR CAUSE DEATH. BEFORE WORKING ON PUMP! Always disconnect power to the
pool pump at the circuit breaker from the pump
before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could
result in death or serious injury to service person,
pool users or others due to electric shock.
THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE
POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN
CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAPMENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR DEATH.
The suction at a drain or outlet can cause:
Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening
resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when
a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover,
trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the ow
rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.

IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain
cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when
the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover ow rating is not high
enough for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool
(particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied
directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not
properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations,
nger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover.
This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose,
cracked, or not properly secured.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES,
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION
ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
• Each suction cover must be installed at least 1 m apart, as
measured from the nearest point to nearest point.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced
weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing,
replace with an appropriate certied cover.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over
time due to exposure to sunlight and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction
cover, pool drain or outlet.
• Disable suction outlets or recongure into return inlets.
A clearly labeled emergency shut-o switch for
the pump must be in an easily accessible, obvious
to use it in case of emergency.
The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act creates new
requirements for owners and operators of commercial swimming
pools and spas.
Commercial pools or spas constructed on or after December 19,
2008, shall utilize:
(A) A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with
suction outlet covers that meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a Suction
Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot
Tubs and either:
(i) A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI
A112.19.17 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release systems (SVRS)
for Residential and Commercial Swimming Pool, Spa, Hot Tub,
and Wading Pool Suction Systems and/or ASTM F2387 Standard
Specication for Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems
(SVRS) for Swimming pools, Spas and Hot Tubs or
(ii) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system or
(iii) An automatic pump shut-o system.
Commercial pools and spas constructed prior to December 19, 2008,
with a single submerged suction outlet shall use a suction outlet
cover that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a and either:
(A) A SVRS meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM F2387, or
(B) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system, or

place. Make sure users know where it is and how
For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF
Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such
as on/o switches, timers, and control systems,
etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or
servicing) of any pump or lter so the user does not
place any portion of his/her body over or near the
pump strainer lid, lter lid or valve closures. This
installation should allow the user enough space to
stand clear of the lter and pump during system
start-up, shut down or servicing of the system lter.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP
AND FILTER DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure.
When any part of the circulating system (i.e.
locking ring, pump, lter, valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing
cover, lter lid, and valves to violently separate which can result in
severe personal injury or death. Filter tank lid and strainer cover must
be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand clear of all
circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the lter pressure. Be sure
that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start
during service. Turn o all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place lter
manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure in
the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and
place all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to ow
freely from the tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment
and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close lter manual air relief valve until all pressure
has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream of water
appears. Observe lter pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than
the pre-service condition.
General Installation Information
• All work must be performed by a qualied service professional, and
must conform to all national, state, and local codes.
• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models
and therefore some instructions may not apply to a specic model.
All models are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The
pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specic
application and properly installed.
• Fitting a non-return valve after the pump on the installation will
prevent the impeller from unwinding and is strongly recommended.
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in
applications other than for which the pump was
intended can result in severe personal injury or
death. These risks may include but not be limited to electric shock,
re, ooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property damage
caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component.
The pump can produce high levels of suction
within the suction side of the plumbing system.
These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a
person comes within the close proximity of the suction openings. A
person can be seriously injured by this high level of vacuum or may
become trapped and drown. It is absolutely critical that the suction
plumbing be installed in accordance with the latest national and local
codes for swimming pools.

Controller Overview
The SuperFlo® VS Variable Speed Pump
uses a premium efficiency variable speed
motor that provides tremendous program
flexibility in terms of motor speed and
English
duration settings. The pump is intended to run
at the lowest speeds needed to maintain a
sanitary environment, which in turn minimizes
energy consumption. Pool size, the presence
of additional water features, chemicals
used to maintain sanitary conditions, and
environmental factors will impact optimal
programming necessary to maximize energy
conservation.
ONLY. Connection to the wrong voltage, or use in other
application may cause damage to equipment or personal
injury.
This pump is for use with 220-240 Vrms
nominal, and in pool pump applications

Connection
SuperFlo VS Pump
The integrated electronics interface controls the
speed settings as well as the run durations. The
pump can operate at speeds ranging between
600 and 3450 RPM and is rated for 220-240 Vrms
at an input frequency of 50 Hz.
Program customization may require some trialand-error to determine the most satisfactory
settings as dictated by the conditions. In most
cases, setting the pump at the lowest speed
for the longest duration is the best strategy
to minimize energy consumption. However,
conditions may require running the
higher speed for some duration of time each
day to maintain proper filtration to achieve
satisfactory sanitation.
