The Quick Clean feature on the Jacuzzi JVS185S runs the pump at the maximum allowed speed for up to 60 minutes to facilitate cleaning. It can be extended up to 360 minutes with additional presses of the Quick Clean button. The feature can also be canceled early by pressing the Stop/Resume button, which returns the pump to normal operation.

What are the purposes of the Speeds 1, 2, 3, and 4? Are they related to Timers? If I just want the pump to run (circulate) the water at 2,000rpm for 2 hrs, can I just use of one of those speeds?

WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical receptacle.

WARNING – To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards: When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
2. General Information 2.1. Introduction This manual contains information for the proper installation and operation of the 1.85 or 2.7THP variable speed pumps. The instructions in this manual MUST be followed precisely. 2.2. Product Dimensions 3. Energy Efficiency Overview The energy consumed by a pool pump is measured in terms of Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW). The JVS185 and JVS270S variable speed pumps display power consumption in Watts.
Equipment such as heaters, skimmers, and chlorinators require minimum flows to operate correctly. Refer to individual equipment manuals for specific flow requirements. After setting the pump speed(s), it is recommended you check that all other equipment/water features are functioning as intended.
WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pumps, filters, and other equipment/ components of a swimming pool filtration system operate under pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested filtration equipment and/or components may fail resulting in severe personal injury or death. 4.4. Plumbing Use PTFE tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic fittings must be new or thoroughly cleaned before use.
4.10. Remote Control Wiring/Operation The JVS185S and JVS270S pumps can be controlled as described below: They can operate by themselves in Stand-Alone Mode using their built-in programmable timers. They can also be controlled from third party controls (i.e. another manufacturer’s control) using relay contacts. See section 5.3 for more information regarding connecting this pump and third party/non-software compatible controls.
4.12. Interface Wall Mounting The interface can also be wall mounted using the parts supplied in the optional wall mount kit using the following procedure. 1. TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. Loosen the two screws securing the user interface to the motor drive and remove the user interface. (Figure 4.12-1) Disconnect the short cable that extends out from the motor drive to the user interface.

4.13. Installation Procedure Please review sections 4.1 through 4.12 before continuing with this section. 1. TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. Loosen the three screws securing the wiring compartment cover and remove the cover to gain access to the drive wiring compartment.
5.2. Hayward Automation Control Wiring (Optional, for remote control of pump) Note: For software compatible Hayward controls only. Existing user interface wiring connection (if present) should be unplugged and second terminal block connector should be used to make wiring connections shown below. Figure 5.2-1 This pump can communicate with and be controlled by Hayward pool controllers such as OmniLogic®, ProLogic®, E- Command®...

Connection wire must be rated for a minimum of 300V. Inputs are rated to accept a low voltage supply of 18-30 VAC, 9- 30 VDC, 50/60 Hz. The “+12V” and “COM” terminals may be used as a low voltage supply, however, these terminals also supply power to the user interface, so care must be taken when connecting to these terminals to ensure proper operation of the user interface.
5.5. Remote Stop Switch Wiring (Optional) Figure 5.5-1 Connection wire must be rated for a minimum of 300V. Switch must be latching type; pump is stopped when circuit is closed. Inputs are rated to accept a low voltage supply of 18-30 VAC, 9-30 VDC, 50/60 Hz. The “+12V” and “COM” terminals may be used as a low voltage supply, however these terminals also supply power to the user interface , so care must be taken when connecting to these terminals to ensure proper operation of user interface.
6.2. Starting/Priming the Pump Refer to item #10 in section 6.6 for priming time selection. Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the pump.
Preset Speeds: Buttons labeled SPEED 1 thru SPEED 4 can be used to run the pump at a predetermined speed until the next programmed timer is scheduled to begin. Preset Speed settings can be quickly updated using the + and - arrow buttons to change the speed and then pressing the >...

Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket. Inspect cover gasket regularly and replace as necessary. The JVS185S and JVS270S pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary. Keep motor clean. Keep motor air vents free of obstructions to avoid damage. Do NOT use water to hose off motor.
8.1. Storing Pump For Winterization WARNING – To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump. Failure to disconnect power may result in serious personal injury or death. Drain water level below all inlets to the pool. Remove drain plugs and strainer cover from strainer housing.
9.5. Replacing the Impeller and Diffuser 11. Screw the impeller (item #12) onto the motor shaft in a clockwise direction, and screw the impeller screw (item #10) into the motor shaft in a counterclockwise direction. Tighten snugly by holding motor shaft with wrench as noted in step #4.

11. Troubleshooting 11.1. General Problems Motor Will NOT Start: Make sure the terminal board connections agree with the wiring diagram on the pump data plate label. Be sure the pump is wired for the available field supply voltage. Check for and correct any improper or loose wiring connections; open switches or relays; tripped circuit breakers, or blown fuses.
Air leak in suction piping, cavitations caused by restricted or undersized suction line or leak at any joint, low water level in pool, and unrestricted discharge return lines. Correct the suction condition or throttle return lines, if practical. Holding your hand over the return fitting will sometimes prove this, or by putting in a smaller eyeball fitting.
