Frequently Asked Questions
AquaPump Variable Speed Pump FAQS
What makes the AquaPump Variable Speed Pump different from a single-speed pump?
Unlike traditional pumps, it allows you to adjust motor speeds for different tasks—low for filtration, medium for circulation, and high for cleaning or water features. This flexibility saves up to 80% in energy costs, reduces noise, and extends equipment life.
Which models are available?
Two models:
LU-VS220 (2.2 HP, 135 GPM max)
LU-VS390 (3.9 HP, 172 GPM max)
Who should install the AquaPump?
Only licensed electricians and qualified pool professionals. Improper wiring or plumbing may cause serious injury or damage.
What electrical requirements apply?
LU-VS220: 115/208-230V, 13.8/8.5-7.4 amps
LU-VS390: 230V, 13 amps
All models must be installed on a dedicated GFCI-protected breaker with proper bonding and grounding.
How close can the pump be installed to the pool?
At least 5 ft (1.5 m) from the water’s edge (9.8 ft / 3 m in Canada). Maintain at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from heaters.
How does the pump prime itself?
Each startup runs a 10-minute priming cycle at 3450 RPM to fill the system. The app or keypad allows you to adjust priming speed and duration.
Can I control the pump from my phone?
Yes. The built-in Wi-Fi works with the Illuminex App (iOS/Android) for remote monitoring, scheduling, speed/flow control, and error alerts.
What are the default factory speed settings?
Speed 1: Low speed for filtration
Speed 2: Medium speed for daily circulation
Speed 3: High speed for cleaning/water features
Is the pump compatible with other pool automation systems?
Yes. Using an RS485 signal cable (sold separately), it integrates with Pentair®, Jandy®, and Hayward® control systems. Once connected, the automation system takes over scheduling and speed control.
My pump won’t start. What should I check first?
Verify breaker power, confirm proper voltage, and ensure motor rotation direction matches the arrow on the fan cover. If still unresponsive, refer to the troubleshooting section.
The pump is noisy or vibrating. Why?
Possible air leaks, debris in the strainer, or worn bearings. Clean baskets, check for leaks, and service bearings if needed.
The app disconnects frequently.
Ensure the pump is within Wi-Fi range. Reset pairing by holding the Wi-Fi button for 5 seconds, then re-add in the Illuminex App.
How do I clean the strainer basket?
Turn off power, relieve filter pressure, remove and rinse the basket, inspect for cracks, then lubricate the O-ring with silicone grease before reassembling.
How should I winterize the pump?
Drain water completely, remove both drain plugs, and store indoors if possible. Freeze damage is not covered under warranty.
What is the warranty coverage?
The AquaPump Variable Speed Pump comes with a 2-year / 10,000-hour warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
What is not covered?
Damage from freeze, improper installation, environmental events, misuse, normal wear, or unauthorized repairs.
How do I file a warranty claim?
Contact Illuminex customer service with proof of purchase. In some cases, the defective unit may need to be returned for inspection.
