4. Opsætning og installation
4.1. Placering
Position the pump as close to the pool as possible to minimize friction loss from plumbing. Ensure adequate ventilation around the pump for cooling. The pump should be installed below water level for optimal priming, or in a location that allows for easy manual priming.
4.2. VVS-tilslutninger
Connect the pool plumbing to the pump's inlet and outlet ports. The pump is designed for 2" / 63mm connections. Use appropriate PVC cement and primer for secure, leak-free joints. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks, which can affect pump performance and priming.
4.3. Elektrisk tilslutning
The Aquagem Inverstar IA23 pump is a single-phase unit and requires a dedicated electrical circuit. Connect the pump to a properly grounded power supply via an electrical cable, ensuring all wiring complies with local electrical codes. A Residual Current Device (RCD) or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is highly recommended for safety.
4.4. Priming af pumpen
Before initial startup, the pump must be primed. Open the strainer basket lid, fill the basket with water until it overflows, then securely replace the lid. Ensure all valves leading to and from the pump are open. Once primed, the pump is ready for operation.

5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1. Tænd/sluk
To power on the pump, ensure it is properly connected to the electrical supply and the main power switch is engaged. The pump's control panel will illuminate. To power off, use the designated power button on the control panel or disconnect the main power supply.
5.2. Adjusting Flow and Speed
The Inverstar IA23 pump allows for precise adjustment of motor speed and flow rate thanks to its INVERTER technology. Use the control panel to select desired operating speeds or pre-set programs. For daily filtration, a lower speed can be selected for quiet and energy-efficient operation. The pump can operate at 100% capacity for tasks requiring maximum flow.
5.3. Backwash Function
The pump features a convenient one-button backwash function. When performing a backwash on your filter, activate this function to temporarily run the pump at full capacity, ensuring effective cleaning of the filter media. Refer to your filter's manual for specific backwash procedures.
5.4. Current Consumption Display
The control panel displays the current electrical consumption, allowing you to monitor energy usage in real-time. This feature helps in optimizing pump speed for energy efficiency.
5.5. External Control (Modbus RS485)
For advanced integration with pool automation systems, the pump supports external control via Modbus RS485. Consult a qualified technician for setup and configuration of this feature.
6. Vedligeholdelse
6.1. Strainer Basket Cleaning
Regularly inspect and clean the pump's strainer basket. Turn off the pump and close all necessary valves before opening the basket lid. Remove debris, rinse the basket, and replace it securely. A clogged basket can reduce pump efficiency and lead to damage.
6.2. Vinterklargøring
In regions with freezing temperatures, proper winterization is crucial. Drain all water from the pump and plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage. Store the pump in a dry, protected area if possible, or cover it adequately if left outdoors.
