Possible Causes
VS pump programmed at too low RPM, Inadequate daily runtime, Oversized pool relative to flow rate, Partially clogged impeller
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use keypad controls with dry hands; no need to open electrical compartments for programming changes.
- 1. Increase RPM: On SuperFlo VS, raise the operating speed to improve turnover. Monitor filter pressure to ensure it remains within safe limits.
- 2. Extend runtime: Increase daily run hours to achieve at least one to two full turnovers of pool volume per day, depending on conditions.
- 3. Inspect impeller: If flow seems weak even at higher RPM, inspect and clean the impeller as described in the impeller debris section.
- 4. Check filter condition: Ensure the filter is clean and sized appropriately for the pump and pool.
