- M
  Michael GordonAug 14, 2025
  If the motor of your emaux Water Pump doesn't start, there are several potential causes: * The disconnect switch or circuit breaker might be off. Ensure it is in the on position. * Fuses may be blown, or the thermal overload could be open. Replace any blown fuses or reset the thermal overload. * The motor shaft could be locked. Inspect and free it up. * Motor windings might be burned out, requiring motor replacement. * The starting switch inside the single-phase motor could be defective, necessitating replacement. * There may be disconnected or defective wiring. Check and repair any wiring issues. * The voltage could be low. Make sure the voltage supply meets the motor's requirements.

The Emaux SPV Series is a Super Power Variable Speed Pump designed for pool and spa circulation systems, offering advanced control and energy efficiency. This pump is equipped with Wi-Fi and MODBUS options, allowing for flexible remote control and integration into automation systems.

Function Description

The Emaux SPV Series pump is primarily used for circulating water in swimming pools and spas. Its variable speed capability allows users to adjust the pump's RPM (revolutions per minute) to optimize performance for different tasks such as filtration, cleaning, and heating, thereby saving energy and reducing noise levels. The pump features a self-priming function to ensure efficient startup and operation.

Key functions include:

Variable Speed Operation: Allows precise control over pump speed (800-3400 RPM) to match specific pool requirements, leading to significant energy savings compared to single-speed pumps.
Wi-Fi Connectivity (SPV150WR model): Enables remote monitoring and control via a mobile phone, tablet, or PC through a dedicated web interface. This allows users to adjust settings, view real-time status, and manage schedules from anywhere. The Wi-Fi connection can be direct (one-to-one) or integrated into a home network for extended range.
MODBUS (RS485) Connectivity: Provides an interface for external automation controllers, making it suitable for integration into smart home or commercial pool management systems.
Programmable Schedules: Users can set up to four daily schedules with specific speeds and operating times, automating the pump's operation for optimal filtration and energy use.
Freeze Protection: An automatic function that turns on the pump when the ambient temperature drops below a set threshold to prevent water in the pipes from freezing and causing damage.
Auto-Recovery: In case of overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, or overheating, the pump automatically attempts to recover and resume operation, minimizing downtime.
Error Display: The control panel displays specific error codes (e.g., OC for overcurrent, OV for overvoltage, UV for undervoltage, OH for overheating) to help diagnose and troubleshoot issues.
Real-Time Clock: Maintains accurate time for scheduled operations.
Power Consumption Display: Shows real-time power consumption in Watts, allowing users to monitor energy usage.
