Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.  Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.  Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.  The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the values shown in the “Pipe Sizing Chart” found in section 4.3 below.  Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.  Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.  In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest APSP standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all national, state, and local codes applicable.  Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended. WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa 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 pool and spa 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 pool. 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 pool and spa 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 pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body.

Energy Efficiency Overview The energy consumed by a pool pump is measured in terms of Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW). The MaxFlo VS 500 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: MaxFlo VS 500 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 in the pool at least once every 24 hours. Check with local requirements for the minimum turnover rate. 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. Equipment such as heaters, skimmers, and chlorinators require minimum flows to operate correctly. Refer to individual equipment manuals for specific flow requirements. 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 over the skimmer weirs. 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 pool 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 outdoor use, it is advised to place pump and filter 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. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 9 of 36 MaxFlo VS 500 Pump IS23520VSP Rev-D 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.

When installing the MaxFlo VS 500, 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. WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pumps, filters, and other equipment/ components of a swimming pool filtration system operate under pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested filtration equipment and/or components may fail resulting in severe personal injury or death. 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. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 10 of 36 MaxFlo VS 500 Pump IS23520VSP Rev-D 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: 0.4 - 10.0 3. Speed Range: 600-3450 rpm Use copper conductors only. For indoor & outdoor use. Connect 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 pool, spa, or hot tub 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 (230 VAC) 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 pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool 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 swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. 4.9. Wiring WARNING – All electrical wiring MUST conform to local codes, regulations, and 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 MaxFlo VS 500 pump is being used to replace an existing pump that was controlled by a separate mechanical time clock, the MaxFlo VS 500 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 (such as a heater, heat pump, or booster pump) 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 MaxFlo VS 500 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 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 11 of 36 MaxFlo VS 500 Pump IS23520VSP Rev-D 4.10.

Once installed, Remote Control Mode must be set to Relay Control in the pump Configuration Menu (see section 6.6). Preset Speeds 1-4 and Quick Clean are disabled when the pump is remotely controlled. When inputs STEP 1-3 are activated via the pool control relay contacts, timer speeds 1-8 are selected according to the following table (see section 6.7): Timer Speed STEP 1 Status STEP 2 Status STEP 3 Status 1 OFF OFF OFF 2 ON OFF OFF 3 OFF ON OFF 4 ON ON OFF 5 OFF OFF ON 6 ON OFF ON 7 OFF ON ON 8 ON ON ON The number of speeds available depends on the number of auxiliary relays used as noted below: 1. Filter pump relay plus 1 auxiliary relays allows control of 2 speeds 2. Filter pump relay plus 2 auxiliary relays allows control of 4 speeds 3. Filter pump relay plus 3 auxiliary relays allows control of 8 speeds USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 17 of 36 MaxFlo VS 500 Pump IS23520VSP Rev-D 5.4. Hayward Automation Control Wiring (Optional, for remote control of pump speed) Note: For software compatible Hayward controls only. Existing user interface wiring connection (if present) should be unplugged and second terminal block connector should be used to make wiring connections shown below. Figure 5.4 1 The MaxFlo VS 500 pump can communicate with and be controlled by Hayward pool controls such as OmniLogic™, ProLogic®, E-Command® 4, and OnCommand®. Minimum software revision requirements: OmniLogic R1.0.0, ProLogic 3.00, OnCommand 1.00, E-Command 2.65, E-Command 4 2.80, AquaLogic 2.65, and AquaPlus 2.65. To determine Hayward control software revision, consult the appropriate Hayward pool control installation manual or visit our website at www.haywardpool.com. Connection wire must be rated for a minimum of 300V, and may be up to 500 feet in length. Use removable 4-position terminal block connector for wiring connection to motor drive PCB, taking care to note the wire colors and corresponding numbers next to the connectors. Terminal block must be installed with screws facing up to ensure proper connection. When communicating with OmniLogic, the HUA (Hayward Unique Address) is used for communication. For all Hayward controls other than OmniLogic, the pump address must be set using the SW200 DIP switch on the drive PCB. To determine which address should be used, consult the appropriate Hayward Pro Logic pool control installation manual, or visit our website at www.haywardpool.com. Pump addresses are set according to the table below.

Remote Stop Switch Wiring (Optional) Figure 5.5-1 Connection wire must be rated for a minimum of 300V. Switch must be latching type; pump is stopped when circuit is closed. Inputs are rated to accept a low voltage supply of 18-30VAC (24VAC +/-20%) or 9-30VDC (12/24VDC +/-20%). The “+12V” and “COM” terminals may be used as a low voltage supply. These terminals also supply to the user interface, so care must be taken when connecting to these terminals to ensure proper operation of user interface. If Remote Stop is used when communicating with a Hayward pool control, if the “+12V” and “COM” terminals are used, the SW200 DIP switch #1 must be “ON”. 6. Startup & Operation 6.1. Prior to Start-Up If it is necessary to perform a water pressure test prior to initial use to ensure plumbing system is functioning properly, then the following criteria should be maintained for this test: 1. Have a professional perform this test. 2. Ensure all Hayward pump and system components are removed from system prior to performing test. WARNING – If circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during water pressure test, do not apply more than 10 psi pressure to the system. Be sure water pressure has been released, using the filter manual air relief valve, before removing pump strainer cover. WARNING – All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as filter air relief valve (if available) on filter, when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 19 of 36 MaxFlo VS 500 Pump IS23520VSP Rev-D 6.2. Starting/Priming the Pump Refer to item #9 in section 6.6 for priming time selection. Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the pump. WARNING – Return to filter to close filter manual air relief valve when a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged from valve. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury. ATTENTION – NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal. NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, flooding, and voids warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor. ATTENTION – Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty. ATTENTION – Before removing strainer cover: 1. STOP PUMP before proceeding. 2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes. 3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system using filter manual air relief valve. See filter owner’s manual for more details. 4. Remove strainer cover and fill strainer housing with water. 5. Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" if necessary. 6. Replace strainer cover on strainer housing. 7. OPEN VALVES in suction and outlet pipes. Note: Tighten strainer cover lock ring by hand only (no wrenches). Turn on power and wait for pump to prime, which can take up to ten (10) minutes. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within 10 minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.

Do NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and replace as necessary.  Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.  Keep motor clean. Insure motor air vents are free from obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use water to hose off motor.  Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage. Replace with genuine Hayward seal assembly kit. See “Shaft Seal Change Instructions” in this manual. 8. Storage / Winterization WARNING – Separation Hazard. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping. ATTENTION – Allowing the pump to freeze with water in it will void the warranty. ATTENTION – Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is non- toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system. Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long time (see instructions below). Gravity drain system as far as possible. Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap pump with plastic film or bags. 8.1. Storing Pump For Winterization WARNING – To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump. Failure to disconnect power may result in serious personal injury or death. 1. Drain water level below all inlets to the pool. 2. Remove drain plugs and strainer cover from strainer housing. (See “Parts Diagram” in section 10.1 of this manual for pump component locations.) 3. Disconnect pump from mounting pad, wiring (after power has been turned OFF), and piping. 4. Once the pump is fully drained of water, re-install the strainer cover and drain plugs. Store pump in a dry area.

USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 30 of 36 MaxFlo VS 500 Pump IS23520VSP Rev-D 11. Troubleshooting 11.1. General Problems  Motor Will NOT Start: 1. Make sure the terminal board connections agree with the wiring diagram on the pump data plate label. 2. Be sure the pump is wired for the available field supply voltage (230VAC). 3. Check for and correct any improper or loose wiring connections; open switches or relays; tripped circuit breakers, or blown fuses. 4. Manually check the rotation of the motor shaft for free movement and lack of obstruction. Correct if necessary.  Motor Shuts OFF: 1. Check for low voltage or power drop at the motor (frequently caused by undersized wiring). Contact a qualified professional to verify the electrical connections.  Motor Hums, But Does NOT Start: 1. Impeller jammed with debris. Have a qualified repair professional open the pump and remove the debris.  Pump Won't Prime: 1. Empty pump/strainer housing. Make sure the pump/strainer housing is filled with water and the cover o-ring is clean. Ensure the o-ring is properly seated in the cover o-ring groove. Ensure the o-ring sealing surface is lubricated with “Jack’s 327” and that the strainer cover is locked firmly in position. Lubricant will help to create a tighter seal. 2. Loose connections on the suction side. Tighten the pipe/union connections. Note: Any self-priming pump will not prime if there are suction air leaks. Leaks will result in bubbles emanating from the return fittings on the pool wall. 3. Leaking O-ring or packing glands on valves. Tighten, repair, or replace the valves. 4. Strainer basket or skimmer basket loaded with debris. Remove the strainer housing cover or the skimmer cover. Clean the basket, and refill the strainer housing with water. Tighten the cover. 5. Suction side clogged. Contact a qualified repair professional. You should have 5” - 6” of vacuum at the strainer cover (your pool dealer can confirm this with a vacuum gauge). You may be able to check by removing the skimmer basket and holding an object over the bottom port with the skimmer full and the pump running. If no suction is felt, check for line blockage. a. If the pump develops a vacuum, check for a blocked suction line or a dirty strainer basket. An air leak in the suction piping may be the cause. b. If the pump does not develop a vacuum and the pump has sufficient “priming water”: i. Re-check the strainer housing cover and all threaded connections for suction leaks. Check if all system hose clamps are tight. ii. Check voltage to ensure that the motor is rotating at full rpm’s. iii. Open the housing cover and check for clogging or obstruction in suction. Check the impeller for debris. iv. Remove and replace the shaft seal only if it is leaking.  Low Flow – Generally: 1. Clogged or restricted strainer or suction line. Contact a qualified repair professional. 2. Undersized pool piping. Correct the piping size. 3. Plugged or restricted discharge line of filter, valve partially closed (high gauge reading). Sand filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions; D.E. filters – backwash as per manufacturer’s instructions; Cartridge filters – clean or replace the cartridge. 4. Air leak in suction (bubbles issuing from return fittings). Re-tighten the suction and discharge connections using PTFE tape. Inspect other plumbing connections, and tighten as required. 5. Plugged, restricted, or damaged impeller. Replace the impeller including a new seal assembly. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 31 of 36 MaxFlo VS 500 Pump IS23520VSP Rev-D  Noisy Pump: 1. Air leak in suction piping, cavitations caused by restricted or undersized suction line or leak at any joint, low water level in pool, and unrestricted discharge return lines. Correct the suction condition or throttle return lines, if practical. Holding your hand over the return fitting will sometimes prove this, or by putting in a smaller eyeball fitting. 2. Vibration due to improper mounting, etc. Mount the pump on a level surface and secure the pump to the equipment pad. 3. Foreign matter in the pump housing. Loose stones/debris hitting the impeller could be the cause. Clean the pump housing. 4. Motor bearings noisy from normal wear, rust, overheating, or concentration of chemicals causing seal damage, which will allow chlorinated water to seep into bearings wiping out the grease causing bearing to whine. All seal leaks should be replaced at once.  Interference With Home Automation/Power Line Communication Equipment: 1. Make sure the terminal board connections agree with the wiring diagram on the pump data plate label. 2. Check for and correct any improper or loose wiring connections. 3. Install noise filter (from home automation/power line communication equipment vendor) to prevent equipment interference.

Check System Messages Code Troubleshooting Check System DC voltage too high Indicates that the DC bus voltage has risen above 400 VDC. Verify that line voltage is within 10% (207-253 VAC) of pump rated voltage at the terminal block. Check System DC voltage too low Indicates that the DC bus voltage has dropped below 230 VDC. Verify that line voltage is within 10% (207-253 VAC) of pump rated voltage at the terminal block. Also, verify that power supply connections are properly made at the circuit breaker as well as at the terminal block. Check System Drive is overheated Indicates that the internal components of the drive have become overheated. Motor airflow path should be checked for obstructions and cleared if present. Check ambient temperature and verify against motor nameplate (50°C/122°F). Check System Drive overload Indicates that motor current is too high. Check impeller, diffuser, shaft seal, and motor for any issues or binding. Check System Pump failed to start Indicates that the drive was not able to start the motor.
