How to Wire a Jandy VS FloPro Variable Speed Pump
In this Article I go over the wiring a Jandy VS FloPro Variable Speed Pump. The first thing you will need to do is completely turn off all power to the pool pump. The wiring of the VS FlorPro Variable Speed Pump is pretty straight forward and the Jandy version requires a little extra wiring for the controller. But overall a novice can wire the Jandy VS FloPro Pump.
A disclaimer here; like Pentair and Hayward, Jandy will void the manufacturer's warranty if the pump is not installed by a pool service professional. They do this to help protect the industry. Although I disagree with the policy it is what it is. You probably will never use the one year warranty anyway, but you need to be aware of Jandy's policy towards self-installation of their equipment.
Like other Varaible Speed Pumps you are required to have a 230V breaker dedicated to the pump. If you do not have 230V wired to your existing pump, you will need to run some 230V wiring as this pump cannot be wired to a 120V single breaker. There is one Variable Speed pump that can be wired to a 120V breaker – the Pentair SuperFlo VS pump.
With that said, the wiring is pretty straight forward. You have the two Load wires (either both red or one red and one black) and one green Ground wire. It doesn't matter which Load wire you put on Load 1 or Load 2 on the back of the Jandy Pump. And I must also note how well designed this pump is. The electrical connection area is so easy to access and wiring is a snap. So simply connect both Load wires and the green Ground wire where indicated.
Here is the wiring for the LOAD and Ground wires:
Here is were a variable speed pump differs from your
standard pump. Since they can be connected and controlled from an automated system there is a set of dip switches located inside, and these need to be set in a specific pattern. Fortunately for the Jandy VS FlowPro the Dip Switches come factory set for the JEP-R controller and the iQPUMP01, so you will not need to move them unless you are connecting the pump to an Aqualink Control panel.
For the JEP-R and the iQPUMP01 there are four wires to connect. Both controllers use the same wire configuration for the FloPro VS Pumps which are Red, Black, Yellow, Green - when looking at the diagram with the pump basket as North and the back end of the pump as South. The Red wire goes to the far left and the Green wire to the far right of the four wire connection. Once you wire this you are all done.
Wiring for the iQPUMP01 and JEP-R for the VS FloPro pump:
Like most installations without an Automated system you are probably going to use the wires from your existing Intermatic manual timer clock. For the VS pump controller to work you will need to remove the “on” and “off” trippers from your timer and leave the timer on the “on” position at all times. This will allow for the load current to be constant to the pump controller which will now run the pump. You can disconnect the timer and spice and cap the wires but this is not necessary.
So the wiring for the Jandy Vs FloPro pump is very simple and it should take you less than 10 minutes to complete the wiring of the pump. If of course you feel you cannot do the wiring please call a licensed electrician or a pool service professional. Sometimes installers will use odd wire colors on the load wires – I have seen Brown and White wires used also, but generally the wiring is easy as can be.
And last make sure you connect the Bonding wire on the back of the pump. This will protect you in case there is a sort in the line and the pump itself becomes charged with electricity. Rare, but important. If you are connecting a JEP-R to the pump watch this video for detailed instructions:
