Why VIVOHOME Water Pump motor will not start?
If your VIVOHOME water pump motor won't start, check for improper or loose wiring connections, open switches or relays, and tripped circuit breakers, GFCIs, or blown fuses. Manually check the motor shaft's rotation for free movement without obstructions. If you have a timer, ensure it's functioning correctly; bypass it if needed.
Why VIVOHOME J07503 Water Pump motor shuts off?
Your VIVOHOME water pump motor might shut off due to undersized wiring, loose connections, or low voltage at the motor, often caused by undersized wiring or extension cord use. Mechanical binding and electrical overload can also cause this issue.
How to fix a noisy VIVOHOME Water Pump?
If your VIVOHOME water pump is noisy, the cause could be vibration due to improper mounting. Try putting a rubber pad under the metal mounting feet. Foreign matter in the pump housing can also cause noise; remove any debris. Noisy motor bearings, due to normal wear, rust, overheating, or chemical concentration causing seal damage, can also be the culprit; replace all seal leaks immediately. Check if the equipment base is vibrating.
What to do if VIVOHOME Water Pump motor hums but does not start?
If your VIVOHOME water pump motor hums but doesn't start, the centrifugal switch might be stuck in the OPEN position, or the motor shaft could be binding.
What to do if VIVOHOME J07503 won't prime?
If your VIVOHOME water pump isn't priming, ensure the pump/strainer housing is filled with water and the cover O-ring is clean and properly seated. Confirm all suction and discharge valves are fully open and not blocked, the pool water level is correct, and the skimmer weir isn't stuck. To check for a vacuum, block off the suction line; you should have 5-6” of vacuum at the strainer cover. If a vacuum develops, inspect for a blocked suction line, a dirty strainer basket, or an air leak in the suction piping. If no vacuum develops despite sufficient priming water, re-check the strainer housing cover and threaded connections for suction leaks, ensure hose clamps are tight, check the motor voltage for full RPMs, and inspect the suction for clogging or obstructions. Replace the shaft seal only...
What to do if VIVOHOME J07503 has low flow?
If your VIVOHOME water pump has low flow, it could be due to a clogged or restricted strainer or suction line, or undersized pool piping. Also, check for a plugged or restricted discharge line or filter, or a valve that is partially closed. If you have sand filters, backwash them as per the manufacturer’s instructions; for D.E. filters, backwash as per the manufacturer’s instructions; for cartridge filters, clean or replace the cartridge. An air leak in the suction piping can also cause rumbling in the pump. Cavitation, caused by a restricted or undersized suction line, a leak at any joint, low water level in the pool, or unrestricted discharge return lines, can also be the reason. Correct the suction condition or throttle the return lines, if practical, by holding your hand over the retur...

This document is an owner's manual for a VIVOHOME Swimming Pool Pump, providing detailed instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The manual emphasizes safety precautions, technical specifications, and proper handling to ensure the longevity and efficient performance of the pump.
The VIVOHOME Swimming Pool Pump is designed for use with permanently installed swimming pools, and potentially hot tubs and spas if marked as such. It is not intended for use with storable pools. The pump's primary function is to circulate water through the filtration system, ensuring clean and clear pool water. It features a strainer housing with a basket to collect debris before it reaches the pump impeller, protecting the pump from damage. The pump is designed for outdoor use, but protection of electrical components from weather is advised.
The manual includes a "Pipe Sizing Chart" which outlines maximum recommended system flow rates by pipe size, crucial for efficient plumbing. For example, a 1" pipe (32mm) has a flow rate of 20 GPM (75 Liter/Min), while a 3" pipe (90mm) can handle 160 GPM (600 Liter/Min).
The "TECHNICAL DATA" section provides specific electrical specifications for various pump models (J07501, J11501, J15001, J07502, J11502, J15002, J05503, J07503, J11503, J07504, J11504, J11801, J12601, J11802, J12602). These specifications include:
The manual also specifies wire sizes based on HP and voltage for 60 Hz, 1 PH systems, recommending 14 AWG for lower HP motors (e.g., 1/2 HP at 115V) and 10 AWG for higher HP motors (e.g., 2 HP at 115V). It emphasizes that voltage at the motor must not be more than 10% above or below the nameplate rated voltage to prevent overheating and reduced component life.
The pump is designed for ease of installation and operation, though it stresses that installation and servicing should only be performed by a qualified professional.
Regular maintenance is essential for the pump's performance and longevity.
The manual includes a "Trouble Shooting" section to help diagnose common issues:
