Energy Saving - Waterco LACRONITE ECO Serie Instruction

• English
Lacronite ECO Multi Speed Pump
Operating Guide
Equipped with the very latest 3 speed permanent magnet brushless DC motor, Lacronite ECO
is capable of lowering its energy usage & reducing its operating noise levels.

Energy Saving

Pool filtration does not require to be operated at a pump's maximum water flow rate. In fact,
your pool's filtration efficiency improves at lower flow rates. As a pool's filtration cycle occupies
99% of the run time of a pool pump, you can operate the Lacronite ECO on its low (ECO) speed
setting for a majority of its running time, leading to significant energy savings.
Lacronite ECO's 3 speed options
Lacronite ECO's 3 speed options cater for most pool functions. The Lacronite ECO Multi Speed
Pump operates most economically and with the lowest noise level using the Low (ECO) speed
option.
Low (ECO): Filtration – 99% of the time
Most economical speed for the purpose of operating the pool's filtration system without any
ancillary pool equipment attached to the re-circulation system. E.g. suction cleaners.
Medium: Automatic pool cleaners
This speed will enable the operation additional pool equipment for pool cleaning functions that
require the use of suction cleaners and low pressure spa jets.
High: Vacuuming and backwash – 1% of the time
Power speed selection for use with backwashing granular media filters (e.g. sand filters),
manual pool vacuuming and operating pool equipment with high water pressure requirements.
E.g. water features and spa jets.
Please Note: That the Low (ECO) speed option is specifically designed to operate a standard
pool filtration and recirculation system.
Please ensure that the correct pump speed is selected in accordance to the pool equipment
and the pool's water flow requirements.
Benefits of Slow Flow
Lowering a pumps flow rate not only significantly decreases the pump's energy requirements,
but also reduces water flow resistance in your pool equipment and plumbing. Even though you
may need to operate the Lacronite ECO longer, it is far more efficient pumping low water flow
compared to high water flow.
A slow flow rate also has the added benefit of improving your pool's filtration efficiency,
enhancing the clarity of your swimming pool water. Plus your automatic chemical dosers and
salt chlorinators are also more effective when the pool water is circulated longer.
