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 Alphaflo ECO-V 100 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.
Ultra Quiet
Alphaflo ECO-V 100 operates most economically and with the lowest noise level at
it's low speed setting. Its low speed setting significantly reduces the pump's vibration,
motor noise and water turbulence to an ultra low 57 decibels (dBA).
Off-Peak Operation
It's low noise levels enable it to be operated at times that are not allowable for
conventional pool pumps. Alphaflo ECO-V 100 allows you to take advantage of off-
peak electrical tariff periods, without upsetting your neighbours.
Pump Start Up
The Alphaflo ECO-V 100 Variable Speed Pump is designed to operate on speed setting
High when the pump is first turned on. This ensures the pump is properly primed and
adequate flow through the pool's filtration and re-circulation system. The high speed
start up will operate for 3 minutes then switch to the pre-selected speed setting.
During the initial start up period the light on the pre-selected speed setting button will
start flashing. If the pump had a pre- selected speed setting less than 1900 RPM the
ECO (Low) light will be flashing.
Note: The above instructions are only a guide; each pool has individual water pressure
and flow requirements. Alphaflo ECO-V 100 Variable Speed Pump has to be sized
appropriately by a pool professional to ensure efficient operation of your pool.

Note: This chart is calculated using turnover of pool size (litres) once per day.
Note: During normal operation ensure your pool has sufficient circulation of water
to ensure effective turnover of the pool. If there is insufficient flow of water from the
pool's returns, increase the pump's operating speed till there is sufficient water flow.
Note: The Alphaflo ECO-V 100 variable speed pump has been tested against Australian
Standard AS5102.1-2019.
