Frequently Asked Questions - FloPro VS ZODIAC

What does VS stand for in FloPro VS?

VS stands for Variable Speed, meaning the pump can operate at multiple speeds to optimize energy use and filtration.

How do I install the FloPro VS pump?

Installation must be performed by a qualified professional. The pump should be placed on a level surface, connected to the pool plumbing with 50 mm unions, and wired to a dedicated power supply (230 V) with proper grounding.

How do I wire the pump to my pool system?

The pump requires a direct connection to a 230 V power source via a switch or contactor. Use 2.5 mm² cable and follow the wiring diagram inside the terminal box. Ensure the pump is grounded and protected by a 30 mA RCD.

Why is my pump not priming?

Check that the strainer basket is full of water and the lid is tight. Ensure suction valves are open and there are no air leaks in the suction line. If the pump runs dry, it may lose prime; stop and refill the basket.

How do I clean the filter basket?

Turn off the pump and close valves. Unscrew the transparent lid and remove the basket. Rinse with a hose to remove debris. Inspect the O-ring seal and lubricate if needed before reassembly.

What should I do if the pump is noisy?

Noise can indicate cavitation (check suction for blockage) or worn bearings. Clean the impeller and check for debris. If noise persists, the mechanical seal may need replacement.

Can I use the pump with a saltwater pool?

Yes, the FloPro VS is suitable for saltwater pools. However, regular inspection of seals and O-rings is recommended as salt can accelerate wear.

How do I set the pump speed?

Use the control panel to select from preset speeds (e.g., Low, Medium, High) or customize via the variable speed adjustment. Refer to the manual for recommended speeds for filtration, cleaning, or water features.

Where can I get spare parts?

Spare parts such as mechanical seal, impeller, O-rings, and housing are available from authorized Zodiac dealers or online pool equipment stores. Use the model number FloPro VS.

Does the pump have a warranty?

The FloPro VS typically comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. To maintain warranty, installation must be done by a professional and the pump used according to instructions. Register the product with Zodiac.

WARNING

A check valve can interfere with the proper operation of certain Suction Vacuum Release System (SVRS) products. To avoid possible entrapment hazard, serious injury, or death, make sure to review the operation/owners manual of your particular SVRS product before installing the check valve.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of property damage or injury, do not attempt to change the backwash (multiport, slide, or full flow) valve position with the pump running.

WARNING

Zodiac® Pumps are powered by a high-voltage electric motor and must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified swimming pool service technician.

WARNING

The pump is for fixed installations only and to be used in conjunction with swimming pool equipment. (e.g. filters). The pump is to be installed in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Australian wiring rules AS/NZS 3000. Also refer to the installation instructions relating to the swimming pool equipment for which the pump will be an integral part. The pump is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current of 30mA. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

WARNING

Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.

WARNING

• Do not connect system to an unregulated city water system or other external source of pressurized water producing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
• Trapped air in the system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Be sure all air is out of the system before operating.

WARNING

To minimize risk of severe injury or death, the filter and/or pump should not be subjected to the piping system pressurization test.

Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to a pressure test. These requirements are generally not intended to apply to the pool equipment, such as filters or pumps.

Zodiac ^® pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.

If, however, the WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing of the piping system must include the filter and/or pump, BE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings, and system accessories to ensure they are properly installed and secured before testing.
• RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing.
  • Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI.
  • Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100°F (38°C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for operation.

Notice: These parameters apply to Zodiac equipment only. For non-Zodiac equipment, consult the equipment manufacturer.

WARNING

Chemical spills and fumes can weaken pool/spa equipment. Corrosion can cause filters and other equipment to fail, resulting in severe injury or property damage. Do not store pool chemicals near your equipment.

CAUTION

Do not start pump dry! Running the pump dry for any length of time will cause severe damage and will void the warranty.

CAUTION

This pump is for use with permanently installed 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 may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.

CAUTION

Do not install beneath the skirt of a hot tub. The pump requires adequate ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the maximum ambient temperature rating listed on the motor rating plate.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

SUCTION HAZARD. Can cause serious injury or death. Do not use this pump for wading pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom drains, unless pump is connected to at least two (2) functioning suction outlets.

WARNING

Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose. The following guidelines provide information for pump installation that minimizes risk of injury to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs:

Entrapment Protection - The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazards of suction entrapment.

Suction Outlet Covers - All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in place. All suction outlet (drain) covers must be properly maintained. They must be replaced if cracked, broken, or missing. Drain covers must be listed/certified to the latest published edition of ANSI®/ASME® A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. In Australia, AS1926.3 is also an acceptable standard. The pool must be shut down and bathers must be restricted from entering the pool until any cracked, broken, or missing drain covers are replaced.

Number of Suction Outlets Per Pump - Provide at least two (2) hydraulically-balanced suction outlets, with covers, as suction outlets for each circulating pump suction line. The centers of the suction outlets (suction outlets) on any one (1) suction line must be at least three (3) feet apart, center to center. See Figure 1.

The system must be built to include at least two (2) suction outlets (drains) connected to the pump whenever the pump is running. However, if two (2) suction outlets run into a single suction line, the single suction line may be equipped with a valve that will shut off both suction outlets from the pump. The system shall be constructed such that it shall not allow for separate or independent shutoff or isolation of each drain. See Figure 1.

Additional pumps can be connected to a single suction line as long as the requirements above are met.

Water Velocity - The maximum water velocity through the suction outlet assembly and its cover for any suction outlet must not exceed the suction outlet assembly and its cover's maximum design flow rate. The suction outlet (drain) assembly and its cover must comply with the latest version of ANSI®/ASME® A112.19.8, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas,and Hot Tubs, or its successor standard, ANSI/ASME APSP-16. In Australia, AS1926.3 is also an acceptable standard.

Testing and Certification - Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs. In Australia, AS1926.3 is also an acceptable standard.

Fittings - Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings (but at least two (2) suction outlets).

Avoid fittings that could cause an air trap.

Pool cleaner suction fittings must conform to applicable International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.

e) Pump freeze protect

The pump measures the running motor temperature and estimates the water temperature.

It activates the "eStar" speed if the temperature is too low, to protect the pump from freezing. This setting is used to set the anti-freeze cycle time.

WARNING

Freeze protection is intended to protect equipment and plumbing for short periods of freezing only. It does this by activating the filtration pump and circulating the water to prevent freezing inside equipment or plumbing. Freeze protection does not guarantee that equipment will not be damaged by extended periods of freezing temperatures or power outages. In these conditions, the pool should be shut down completely (for example, drained of water and closed for the winter) until warmer weather exists.

The pump must be protected and properly winterized when freezing temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump to freeze will cause severe damage and will void the warranty.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance instructions

WARNING

It is recommended to carry out general servicing of the appliance on winterizing and restarting in order to check it is in good working order and maintain its performances, as well as to prevent certain possible defects.

These actions are the user's responsibility and must be carried out by a qualified technician.

• Make sure no foreign bodies enter the pump or the electric compartment.
• Clean the outside of the appliance, do not use solvent based products.
• Check that the use interface is in working order.
• Check that metal casing is connected to the ground.
• Check the tightness of the electric wire connections and the cleanliness of the electric control box.
• Clean the basket, the lid and its seal regularly.
• Make sure the basket is correctly fitted, otherwise it could prevent the hermetic closure of the lid.

4.2 Winterizing

WARNING

Freeze protection is intended to protect equipment and plumbing for short periods of freezing only. It does this by activating the filtration pump and circulating the water to prevent freezing inside equipment or plumbing. Freeze protection does not guarantee that equipment will not be damaged by extended periods of freezing temperatures or power outages. In these conditions, the pool should be shut down completely (for example, drained of water and closed for the winter) until warmer weather exists.

The pump must be protected and properly winterized when freezing temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump to freeze will cause severe damage and will void the warranty. To avoid condensation damaging the appliance, do not cover it hermetically.

• If the pump is located beneath the water level, shut off the isolation valves on the admission and discharge.
• Drain the pump (using the 2 drainage screws) and the hydraulic circuit by following the pool manufacturer's instructions.
• Remove the 2 drainage screws and put them aside to be refitted when the pool is restarted.

• It is recommended to disconnect the electric power cable, and then to unscrew the hydraulic fittings to store the pump in a dry location protected from freezing.
