Hi Marc, So glad we could help! We'd love to get more of your thoughts on the pump as a tech if you could please send us an email to CS@PoolpartsToGo.com. Just mention that you're Marc from CZcams and that your email is for Cody.
Update, and btw I bought this pump directly from this advertiser and their support level is quite high. After I finished installing the pump by myself, plumbing and wiring, I have been running and fine tuning it. So now I settle for RPM 1930, for 8 hours per day total, and at 300 watts per hour. And that is 2400 watts per day, whic is equivalent to 1 hour with the old single speed Super Flo, that I only can afford to run it for 4 hours a day. So from around 10,000 watts per day to 2400 watts per day, and the pool is very clean, I am very satisfied with this VS pump, living in California, and I have solar recently. Also, it is very quiet. Cannot hear it running inside the house. I will have to be careful in the summer and watch out for water level getting below the skimmer line, so I dpon't burn the pump running dry. Last thing is I think to run this pump for 24 hours per day, is kind of overdoing it. No wonder why they break down for some people. My thought.
Having trouble with it starting. I've set the time but it is not starting at the time marker. I press Start and it moves to the Speed indicator which states "0". I can get the quick clean going either. Maybe it's me but the control panel isn't super user friendly. I bought this from Pool Parts to Go just last week.
Ok, please do a video showing how to wire and program the unit using a Jandy Aqua link system. No RS serial data is used, but there is 5V reference signal to be induced into the relays on the aqua link. The confusion comes in when you try to understand if the 3 other wires control 1-3 speed setting or the 2-4. Regardless, what would you set the durations at? The reason for asking is that most of us are replacing a Jandy or Pentair that uses RS serial data to control the pump for spa use and it is not clear how to control the speeds we want.
With the automation adapter, you still set the speeds using the pump's own keypad and then the automation system will use a signal sent via the relays to tell the pump when to run at which speed. Every installation is essentially custom, but if you can send us pictures of the existing wiring in your automation system to CS@PoolPartsToGo.com we'll be happy to give customized guidance in your situation.
Ok, that makes sense; however, what would you set the “duration” at for the 4 pump speeds and I assume it needs to be in manual mode? Or does it not matter what the duration is since the aqua link would send the signal through the closed relay?
Great video. I just installed this pump a couple days ago. Only issue I have is that the clock on the pump does not stay on current time. I set the time to current time then come back the next day and the clock is way off which is messing up the schedule of when to run. Any ideas how to fix?
How do you put it back to default if you have changed things and want it to reset to default settings, no place in the documentation shows that. I really want only run this 8 hours . My pump even in off mode suddenly starts even it set to manual mode and setto off , it suddenly starts without any button pressed after 20 minutes, very strange.
Hi Craig! Keep pressing the arrow button. Once you reach noon, it'll switch over to PM from AM, and when you reach midnight, it'll switch to AM from PM. If it's doing something else screwball, then please email us a video so I can see it!
How to delete the summer programming on my pump, I have already programmed it with the winter programming, but it does not stop and continues with the summer programming, what do I do? In winter I run it for 8 hours starting at 10:00 am and ending at 6:00 pm, I hope you can help me, thank you.
Every installation is essentially custom and we can give customized guidance if you can send us pictures of the wiring in your automation system to CS@PoolPartsToGo.com. That said, we do have a video that shows how the automation adapter works and is wired into an automation system here: czcams.com/video/qcD2X3rg97g/video.html
Thinking about picking up this pump but my current automation system powers off both my salt system and my pump. If I continue to use my existing automation to schedule on/off for this pump will that mess up the internal clock? Doesn't seem like a great idea to run my salt system 24/7. Can I have my timer start power at say 7am and then let the pump ramp up/down until I kill the power at 7pm? I need a VS pump and this is my top candidate if I can overcome the built in clock.
Hi Dewayne! You can't cycle the power using the external system, but we do also have the INTCON automation adapter that may be applicable in your situation. Email me pictures of the inside wiring of your automation panel and I can give custom guidance on this: CS@PoolPartsToGo.com
Do you have any recommendations on this specific pump with a chlorinator? Particularly when the variable speed is set to a lower setting and the chlorinator is flashing "low flow"
Some salt systems are a bit more ornery on flow rate, you'd want to adjust the RPM up until the low flow goes away. If you're having run a high RPM to establish flow, then I'd strongly recommend having your salt system serviced as it's flow sensor may need replacing or cleaning!
@@poolpartstogo Thanks for the tip! Yea looks like I was able to get the flow light green at 1750 RPM so that seems to be reasonable about half from the max 3450
Hi Ron! There's no quick reset to go back to factory settings, but you can manually reset the settings to the defaults. I'd first double check that you have a speed AND duration setting on all 4 buttons. Please email me CS@PoolPartsToGo.com and I can help dig into this for you!
@@poolpartstogo it was working as you mentioned but after few months it start acting strange by suddenly coming on at 1000 RPM out of schedule and even in manual mode and I'm off State
I just replaced my control board today and these instructions worked. It all seems like Chinese fuzzy logic, just keep at it and it will eventually work and you won’t know why.
I just received from you guys my new B&D 1.5 pump and installed it. This video is awesome for set up and run. THANK YOU!!!!
I just installed the 1.5 hp pump, they should include your video along with each pump they sell! You made it way too easy!!
Great video, I stopped reading the directions because of your video...I bought this pump from you guys, BEST price on the internet, thanks....
Great to hear!
I'm a pool tech you have no idea how much this helped!!! This in the only black and decker pump I have ever seen in 10 years !!! Thanks 🙏

Excellent explanation and instructions. Safe me a lot of time and errors. Many thanks.
Very helpful, especially since the manual completely leaves this info out.
Thank you for going over this. Great video. Cool pump
Thank you, thank you! Very informative and well said!
Thanks for this
I've had my for over year
It's a great pump to me
Super easy thanks to your video.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

How do you turn on or off the freeze protection. My little snow flake icon, just above the AM PM icons is lit. Thanks

I have the same issue, did you figure out how to remedy it? If you have let me know. Thanks!
How do I reset the clock? My clock went out of sync after an extended power outage. I am not able to get to the clock set selection at all.
I have a snow flake looking icon being displayed on the top left portion of my screen. What is that and do I need to do anything?
How do you put it back to default if you have changed things and want it to reset to default settings, no place in the documentation shows that.
I really want only run this 8 hours .
My pump even in off mode suddenly starts even it set to manual mode and setto off , it suddenly starts without any button pressed after 20 minutes, very strange.
You can rotate the orientation of the controller display? 🤯 I need to try that.
How do I run it for 24hrs
I followed your directions once before worked great. For some reason my pump time is not saving. It's going to pm while I am setting it for am???

Hello. How would I run this off of automation? Would manual mode work when powered turns off and on from automation?
How I can change the prime speed when start each cycle ?
I see that you have the automation controller and it’s connected. Can you run a video showing how to connect the automatic controller?

How do you reset the pump? I had the default scheduled and now it just stops after it runs one speed.
Hi Ron! There's no quick reset to go back to factory settings, but you can manually reset the settings to the defaults. I'd first double check that you have a speed AND duration setting on all 4 buttons. Please email me CS@PoolPartsToGo.com and I can help dig into this for you!
Hi can I run it for 6 hours every day only? Like 2 hours on Speed 4 hours on Speed 3? And will the pump stop after 6 hours?
Yes you can! You will want to change the RPM settings and do it across SPEED1 and SPEED2 with SPEED3 and SPEED4's durations set to 0.
@@poolpartstogo Great. Thank you.

Incorrect information. Nothing happens if you press the two out arrow buttons.
I just replaced my control board today and these instructions worked. It all seems like Chinese fuzzy logic, just keep at it and it will eventually work and you won’t know why.
