Introduction
This manual oers comprehensive guidance on the installation, operation, and maintenance of our
pumps, essential for ensuring safe and eective usage.
We advise thorough reading and retention for future reference.
Our swimming pool pumps, designed for permanent installation in pools, are horizontal, self-priming
centrifugal units. The incorporation of a non-return valve facilitates immediate priming. To ensure
optimal performance, the water temperature should not surpass 95°F. Our pump materials have been
rigorously tested for hydraulic eiciency and electrical safety. Prior to installation, it is critical to review
this manual thoroughly. Installation must adhere to prevailing industry standards. We absolve ourselves
of any liability resulting from non-compliance with these installation instructions. Adherence to the
provided electrical wiring diagrams is recommended to prevent overloading the pump motor.

then strip the insulation to reveal 1/5 inch copper wire.Prepare the pump wire extension, repeat the above
steps.
2. Insert the stripped wires into the bu connectors in the wire pigtail from the pump. Firmly crimp each
splice with crimping plier to tightly hold the wires In place. Aention: Please pay aention to correct match-
ing when wiring an extension cable.
3. Winding the waterproof electrical tape on the bu splice connections of three strands of wire.

2. Pump Fixing
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The pump must not be used when people are in the water.
Caution for Pump Installation: Ensure the pump is protected from moisture and potential flooding. It's
recommended not to install the pump more than 3 meters above the water level to ensure optimal
performance.
Regardless of the pump's height above the water and the capacity of the chosen model, be aware that
priming can take several minutes. Install the pump and its components in a dry, well-ventilated area to
prevent environmental damage and ensure the longevity and safe operation of the pump. Adequate
measures should be taken to safeguard the pump against environmental factors.

4. Electrical Installation
Aquastrong Variable Speed Pool Pumps are easily assembled. For inquiries or technical support, contact
Aquastrong at [email protected].
The pipes can be connected using either 2.5-inch or 2-inch PVC rigid pipes for a direct connection.
Alternatively, a combination of PVC rigid pipes and PVC flexible hoses can be used, secured with hose
clamps for a reliable connection. This flexible approach allows for a more adaptable installation, accom-
modating dierent setup requirements while ensuring a secure and eicient connection for the pump
system.
The user shall inspect and make sure about the eectiveness of protective earthing of the building
installation. In such case, an authorized qualified person shall inspect the building installation.It is
obligatory for the pump electrical power supply to have residual current device (RCD) having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
Up to 100FT: Mandatory use of 12AWG power line.
100 to 200FT: Strongly recommended to use 10AWG power line.
Beyond 200FT: Essential to consult a local professional electrical engineer.
Never work on a pump without first checking that the electrical power is switched o.

8. Servicing
The Aquastrong Variable Speed Pool Pumps are designed for low maintenance; however, we recom-
mend periodic cleaning of the pre-filter to ensure optimal performance. To perform this task, first shut
o the suction and delivery valves. Then, carefully loosen the black nuts and remove the pre-filter cover.
Withdraw the filtering basket and clean it thoroughly. Inspect the pre-filter cover gasket and replace it if
you notice any damage. If the pump is not in use during winter, it is crucial to drain it (by removing the
drain plug) to prevent damage from freezing. Additionally, clean the pump and store it in a dry, well-ven-
tilated area. In case of malfunction, avoid aempting any repairs yourself and instead contact our
technical support team for assistance.
For your safety, always disconnect the pump from the electrical supply before undertaking any
servicing activities.

Programming Flow Chart
The pump should be installed in Zone 2, typically at least 7 feet from the pool. Its power supply connection
must be in Zone 3, generally a minimum1o2eet fromthe pool, as per the International Standard: Electri-
cal Installations of Buildings Part 7 - Requirements for Special Installations or Locations - Swimming Pools
and other Basins (IEC60364-7-702).
Despite having an earthing terminal, the pump must be connected to the equipotential bonding terminal
in the electrical wiring before use. The equipotential bonding terminal is indicated by the following
symbol. For any uncertainties, consult an electrical specialist.
The pump must be powered either via an isolating transformer or through a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA. Electrical installa-
tions should align with national wiring regulations.
In case of supply cord damage, replacement must be done by the manufacturer, an authorized service
agent, or a qualified professional to prevent hazards. The pump is designed for continuous operation. An
all-pole disconnection switch, directly linked to the supply terminals, is required. This switch should
ensure contact separation in all poles for safety. For any inquiries or installation needs, please consult a
professional or an electrical specialist.
Caution:
!
5. Pre-Start Pump Check
1. Verify that the main power supply's voltage and frequency match the specifications on the pump's
identification plate.
2. Ensure that the pump shaft rotates smoothly and freely.
3. Remove the pre-filter cover and fill the pump with water to just below the suction pipe's lower level.
4. Securely reaach the pre-filter cover.
5. If the motor fails to start or no water is being pumped, consult the troubleshooting guide provided
later in this manual.
WARNING: NEVER operate the pump dry or with the water inlet blocked.
6. Starting the Pump
Once the pump is filled with water, open all suction and delivery valves, then initiate the motor. Allowtime
for self-priming. Proper priming is achieved when the water level reaches just belowthe transparent
cover.

The Aquastrong Variable Speed Pool Pump is an advanced version of the standard pool pump, featuring
an added controller for enhanced system management.
Aention: Users should not remove or alter the display face sticker. If the sticker is damaged or improp-
erly aixed, the pump must be sent to an authorized service agent or the manufacturer for repair.
The controller is equipped with a power limit function, which is a top priority. If the pump's power
exceeds the set threshold, the controller will adjust by reducing the pump's speed. This may result in the
speed displayed being occasionally lower than the set speed, ensuring eicient and safe operation.
