PowerMaster

ECO-SERIES

Congratulations on the purchase of a quality product from the Davey Water

Products range of Pool and Spa Equipment. You are assured of many years

of reliable and super-efficient performance from your Davey PowerMaster®

ECO-Series pump.

Read these instructions in their entirety before switching on this pump.

If you are uncertain as to any of these installation and operating instructions

please contact your Davey dealer or the appropriate Davey office as listed

on the back of this document.

Davey PowerMaster®has been designed to circulate swimming pool and

spa water in conditions set out in the Australian Standard for swimming pool

water quality AS 3633 or equivalent. They should not be used for any other

purpose without first consulting your Davey Dealer or the Davey Customer

Service Centre.

Every Davey PowerMaster®is thoroughly water tested against a number of

flow, pressure, voltage, current and mechanical performance parameters.

Davey`s advanced pump manufacturing technology provides reliable and

efficient pumping performance that lasts and lasts.

Saving Energy with your Davey PowerMaster®

ECO-Series Pump:

The Davey PowerMaster®, ECO Series Pool & Spa pump is an 8 Star super

efficient pump utilising a very clever, state of the art 3 speed brushless DC

motor that provides lower levels of noise, lower operating costs and lower

greenhouse emissions than traditional pool pumps, when properly installed.

Due to its ability to run at lower speeds than conventional pumps, your

PowerMaster®ECO Series pump will also experience less mechanical wear

and tear due to less stress on the internal mechanical components.

To achieve energy efficient pumping is easy. Simply

run the filtration pump at a low speed, but run it for

longer (see table on page 9) than a conventional

fixed speed pump to “turn over” your pool water for

adequate filtration and sanitisation. The result is lower

energy use and up to 70% lower operational costs. It’s

a bit like driving your car on a long distance trip at 80

kmh instead of 110 kmh. It will take you a lot more time,

but you will use a lot less fuel!

The PowerMaster®ECO Series has 3 speeds, so you can circulate the

water at low speed, then switch to medium or high speed only if required.

Medium speed will help to power an automatic pool cleaner, while high

speed should be selected to backwash a media filter or when you want to

manually vacuum your pool.

What to expect with low speed pumping (energy efficient operation) on

your pool:

If your PowerMaster®ECO-Series pump is replacing a traditional AC motor

pump, you will need to run it longer than your old fixed speed pump. This is

NORMAL and you will save energy when using Mid or Eco Flow settings.

You may also notice that the pressure gauge on your filter is indicating

a much lower pressure than you are used to. This is also NORMAL. The

lower system pressure is simply a result of the lower speed and flow rate

produced by the pump.

While running at the lower speed settings you will also notice a significant

reduction in pump noise. This is a major benefit for you as it allows you to

run your pump during off peak electricity tariffs, which will also assist in the

reduction of your operating costs. Plus you will also have much happier

neighbours.

Important Considerations for Low Flow Operations:

Many pool products rely on particular minimum flow rates for best operation

and/or efficiency. If you are using a low flow pump on your pool, such as the

PowerMaster®ECO Series pool pump, Davey recommends that you check

the compatibility of it with other pool equipment such as:

• Automaticpoolcleaners

• Ozonegenerators

• PoolHeaters

• SolarHeatingsystems

• SaltWaterChlorinatorcells

Installation of the PowerMaster®ECO Series Pump:

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/owner’s responsibility to locate the pump

such that the nameplate can be easily read and the pump can be readily

accessed for service.

Weather Protection

It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather. Enclosures

should be ventilated to prevent condensation build-up and allow a free flow

of air for the fan cooled motor.

Power Connection

Davey Power Master®issuitableforconnectiontoanominal240volt50Hz

power supply and are equipped with a flex and 3 pin plug. If a power outlet

is not available within 3 metres of the pump, a 3 pin power point in a safe,

dry place may need to be provided by an electrician. Extension cords are

unsafe around pools - and should be avoided. If the supply cord of this

product is damaged it must be replaced by the dealer or manufacturer, with

genuine Davey spares.

This PowerMaster®Eco Series pump incorporates motor overload detection

designed to protect the motor from overheating. If the motor gets too hot it

will stop automatically to prevent motor damage.

To reset the motor, switch the power off for 30 seconds, and then return the power.

DaveyWaterProductsrecommendsthatallinstallationsarettedwith

earth leakage or residual current protection devices.

CAUTION: In the interest of safety, we advise that all brands and types

of pool pumps must be installed in accordance with AS3000 wiring rules

or equivalent.

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.

Ifthepumpandlterarelocatedbelowpoolwaterlevel,itisnecessaryto

compounds are incompatible with ABS. Check compound suitability

before use.

PowerMaster® Pool Pumps are fitted with an internal check valve to reduce

reverse flow of water through the pump.

NOTE:

Warning! Ensure that an electrical isolation switch is located with easy

access so that the pump can be switched off in an emergency.

Pipe Connection

A barrel union is provided for connecting to the piping from the pool. The

pumpsaredesignedtoaccept40mmPVContheIDora50mmPVCfitting

on the OD.

When plumbing the discharge pipe, ensure that the pipework does not

interfere with the touchpad’s protective cover, which needs to fully open

and close.

The use of any pipe smaller than those specified above is not recommended.

Suction piping should be free from all air leaks and any humps and hollows

which cause suction difficulties.

The discharge piping from the pump outlet should be connected to the inlet

connection on the swimming pool filter (usually at the filter control valve).

Barrel unions need to be hand tightened. No sealant, glues or silicones

are required.

Prior to using this pump you must ensure that: Checklist

•LowSpeedSettingiscompatiblesettingwithotherpoolequipment 

•Thepumpisinstalledinasafeanddryenvironment 

•The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in the event of leakage 

•Any transport plugs are removed 

Ensure pipework

from discharge does

not interfere with

protective cover.

To realise the best energy efficiency from your pump, please follow these

installation recommendations:

•Suctionpipelengthshouldbekeptasshortaspossible

•Installa450mmlongstraightpipehorizontallyintothefrontofthepump

•Minimisethenumberofbendsintheplumbing

Starting the Pump

To operate efficiently and prevent pump damage there must be a free flow

of water to and from the pump. Before starting ensure that:

•Allpipeworkiscorrectlysealed.

•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.

The Davey PowerMaster®ECO Series motor has 3 speed settings, Eco

Flow,MidFlowandHighFlow.ItwillalwaysstartonHighFlowsettingto

aid priming and after 2 minutes will automatically revert to the last used

speed setting.

NOTE: During high speed start up, the LED for the last set speed will flash.

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 may be expelled. It will start

inHighFlowmode(highspeed)for2minutesinordertoprimeeffectively.

4. If prime is not established within approximately two minutes, as evidenced

by a strong flow of water and no bubbles returning to the pool, switch off

the pump and repeat the procedure. Continued evidence of air under

the strainer basket lid indicates an air leak in the suction piping which

should be rectified to avoid pump damage.

For optimum pump performance, the strainer basket housing should always

be full of water and free from air bubbles. The water level of the pool should

always be maintained to at least halfway up the skimmer box ensuring

water is in the pump at all times. From time to time it may be necessary to

re-prime the pump. This should be carried out as described above.

Never run pump dry. Running the pump with no water may damage the

mechanicalseals,causingleakageandooding.Dryrunningdamage

and associated damage is not covered under warranty.

Low Energy Operation:

Your PowerMaster®ECO Series pump has 3 speed settings:

1. Eco Flow – Lowest Speed

2. Mid Flow – Medium Speed

3. HighFlow–HighestSpeed
