Controller Overview
The Taurus VS Variable Speed Pump uses a premium
efficiency variable speed motor that provides tremendous
program flexibility in terms of motor speed and duration
settings. The pump is intended to run at the lowest speeds
needed to maintain a sanitary environment, which in
turn minimizes energy consumption. Reservoir size,
the presence of additional equipment, use of sanitation
chemicals and local environmental factors will impact
optimal programming necessary to maximize energy
conservation.
The integrated electronics interface controls the speed
settings as well as the run durations. The pump can
operate at speeds ranging between 300 and 3450 RPM
and will operate within the voltage range of 99-253
Vrms at either 50 or 60Hz input frequency.
Program
customization may require some trial-and-error to
determine the most satisfactory settings as dictated by
the conditions. In most cases, setting the pump at the
lowest speed for the longest duration is the best strategy
to minimize energy consumption. However, conditions
may require running the
pump
at a higher speed for some
duration of time each day to maintain proper filtration to
achieve satisfactory sanitation.
