WARNING – Components (seals, gaskets, etc.) have a finite 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.

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

qualified 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 flowing, indicating the

possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem

corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

WARNING – Failure to bond pump to the 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 the structure, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas

piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of the structure(s). 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.

WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. 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 the water circulation system, all system and

pump controls must be in off position and filter 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

water source. Do not change filter control valve position while pump is running. Before starting pump,

fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter 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 the circulation system, all system and pump controls must be

in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate the circulation

system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate the

circulation system unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in filter 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 isolated from any flammable structures or foreign debris they can cause fires, 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 defined instructions may result in severe personal

injury or death.

3. Energy Efficiency Overview

The energy consumed by a pump is measured in terms of Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW). The LifeStar®

Variable Speed Pump displays power consumption in Watts. Given this information, you can determine the

cost of operating the pump:

Power consumption of pump X Cost of electricity = Cost of Pump Operation per Hour

Example: LifeStar® 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

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.

Benefits of running at low 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 according to the schedule set by the Life Support

Manager. 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.

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. Operate the pump at higher speeds for the shorter periods of time needed to operate a

heater, water feature, etc.

4. Installation and Wiring

WARNING– This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.

4.1. Pump Location

Locate pump as close to the water source as practical and run suction lines as

direct as possible to reduce friction loss. Suction lines should have continuous

slope upward from lowest point in line. Joints must be tight (but not over-

tightened). Suction line diameter must equal or be larger than the discharge line

diameter. Though the pump is designed for indoor or outdoor use, it is advised

to place pump in an outdoor application in the shade to shield them from

continuous direct heat. Select a well-drained area that will not flood when it rains. Do NOT install

pump and filter in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump motors require free

circulation of air for cooling.

4.2. Pump Mounting

Install pump on a level concrete slab or other rigid base to meet all local and national codes. Secure

pump to base with screws or bolts to further reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints. The base

must be level, rigid, and vibration free.

Pump mount must:

Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.

Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).

Allow for valves in suction and discharge piping.

Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.

Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.

4.3. Pipe Sizing Chart

MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED SYSTEM FLOW RATE BY

PIPE SIZE

Pipe Size

in. [mm] Maximum Flow Rate

GPM [LPM]

Minimum Straight

Pipe Length “L” in.

[mm] *

1 ½” [50] 45 [170] 7 ½” [190]

2” [63] 80 [300] 10” [254]

2 ½” [75] 110 [415] 12 ½” [317]

3” [90] 160 [600] 15” [381]

* Note: It is recommended that a minimum length of straight piping (shown as “L” in above diagram),

equivalent to 5 pipe size diameters, be used between the pump suction inlet and any plumbing fittings

(elbows, valves, etc.).

When installing the LifeStar® VS, care should be taken to ensure proper pipe and equipment

sizing to handle the maximum flow required. It is recommended to set the maximum speed in

order to not exceed the maximum flow rate. See section 6.6 item #7.

4.4. Plumbing

1. Use PTFE tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must

be new or thoroughly cleaned before use. NOTE - Do NOT use Plumber’s Pipe Dope as it may

cause cracking of the plastic components. When applying PTFE tape to plastic threads, wrap the

entire threaded portion of the male fitting with one to two layers of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as

you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting. The pump suction and outlet

ports have molded-in thread stops. Do NOT attempt to force hose connector fitting past this stop. It

is only necessary to tighten fittings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then use

a tool to engage fitting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care when using PTFE tape as friction is

reduced considerably; do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause damage. If leaks occur,

remove connector, clean off old PTFE tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of PTFE tape,

and re-install connector.

2. Fittings (elbows, tees, valves, etc.) restrict flow. For better efficiency, use the fewest possible

fittings. Avoid fittings that could cause an air trap.

4.5. Electrical

WARNING – All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National

Electric Code (NEC).

WARNING – Ground and bond pump before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to

ground and bond pump can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard. Do NOT ground to a gas

supply line. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to pump before working on

electrical connections. Fire Hazard - match supply voltage to pump nameplate voltage. Insure that the

electrical supply available agrees with the pump’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is

adequate for the amps rating and distance from the power source. Use copper conductors only.

4.6. Electrical Specs

1. Voltage: 230VAC, 60Hz, Single Phase

2. Amps: 10.9

3. Speed Range: 600-3450 rpm

Use copper conductors only. For indoor & outdoor use, connect the pump to a 15 amp branch circuit in

accordance with local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). A disconnecting

means located at least 5 ft. from the inside wall of the water vessel must be provided.

4.7. Voltage

Voltage at pump MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below nameplate rated voltage, or

components may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than

90% (207 VAC) or more than 110% (253 VAC) of rated voltage (203) when pump is running at full

load, consult the power company.

4.8. Grounding and Bonding

1. Install, ground, bond, and wire pump in accordance with local or national electrical code

requirements.

2. Permanently ground pump. Use green ground terminal provided under access plate; use size and

type wire required by code. Connect ground terminal to electrical service ground.

3. Bond pump to water structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the water

structure with a continuous wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded

metal objects, which could potentially cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC

codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and general wiring

procedures.

4. Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run 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 motor housing and to all metal parts of

the water structure and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit

within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of the water structure.

4.9. Wiring

WARNING – All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and the National

Electric Code (NEC).

1. Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same

circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the

circuit breaker as the master On-Off switch.

2. If the LifeStar® VS pump is being used to replace an existing pump that was controlled by a

separate mechanical time clock, the LifeStar® VS pump should be connected directly to the line

power supply, bypassing the time clock. The time clock can then be used to power other equipment

that requires the filter pump to be operating when used. If the time clock is used in this manner, it

should be set to power the equipment during a time cycle when the LifeStar® VS pump is operating

at an appropriate flow rate to operate the other equipment, as defined by the timers set in the Timer

Menu. See section 6.7

4.10. Remote Control Wiring/Operation

The LifeStar® VS pump can be controlled in a wide variety of ways as described below:

1. LifeStar® VS pumps can operate by itself in Stand-Alone Mode using its built-in programmable

timers.

2. LifeStar® VS pumps can communicate and be controlled by a variety of Hayward controls. See

Section 5.3 for more information regarding connecting the LifeStar® VS pump and Hayward

controls.

3. LifeStar® VS pumps can also be controlled from third party controls (i.e. another manufacturer's

control) using relay contacts. See Section 5.4 for more information regarding connections with the

LifeStar® VS pump and third party controls.
