Question 1

How to control and use the speeds of this Jandy VSFHP185DV2AS pump?

Accepted Answer

This variable speed pump does not have "programs" in the traditional sense. It operates by speed selection between 600 and 3,450 RPM, adjustable according to your needs.

Controlling the pump

Three control methods are available:

SpeedSet Controller (included) - local control via 6 m RS-485 cable
Jandy Automation Systems (AquaLink RS, TCX, etc.) - integrated control
External Switches (dry relays) - manual control via external switches

Speeds and auxiliary functions

The pump offers two built-in auxiliary relays that automatically activate external equipment at specific speeds:

Auxiliary 1: 1,725 RPM
Auxiliary 2: 2,250 RPM

For example, you can set up a booster pump or a chlorinator to automatically activate at these speeds.

Default speed

The default starting speed (priming) is 2,750 RPM.

For precise programming instructions for your SpeedSet controller or integration with Jandy automation, refer to the manual provided with your pump.
