Zodiac – E30iQ 100 Variable-Speed Pool Pump – 1,0 HP

The E30iQ 100 is a variable-speed pool pump rated at 1,0 HP / 0,75 kW with a maximum flow of 23 m³/h. It runs on 230 VAC – 50/60 Hz, has IPX5 protection and a 2,6 L pre-filter basket.

How the E30iQ works

The E30iQ is a variable-speed pool pump for filtration and water recirculation. Because the speed can be lowered, the pump can run for longer at a reduced speed, which cuts electricity consumption by up to 80%.

It is driven by a synchronous motor (ECM technology), TEFC with class F insulation. It is suitable for fresh water and for salt water up to 6 g/L (6 000 ppm).

Programmable speeds come with factory presets named ECO, CLEAN and BOOST, so the pump can be matched to what the pool needs at different times. Priming speed and priming duration are adjustable, and a clock and timers are built in.

Control and connectivity

A white 1-line LCD screen on the pump is used for setting it up. Embedded connectivity lets you pair the pump with the iAqualink+ app to set, control and update it from your smartphone.

The pump can run in three ways:

• Stand-alone, from its own screen
• Connected to the iAqualink+ app
• Under external control through dry contacts

As a safety feature, the pump switches itself off automatically in case of high amperage or overheating.

Installation

The pump has threaded suction and discharge ports and comes with union tailpieces. Zodiac’s Easy Retrofit system allows it to be fitted without changing the piping, so it suits most existing installations, including as a replacement.

Mounting, electrical connection and servicing must be carried out by a qualified installer who has read the manufacturer’s instructions. The pump must be earthed and must not be installed in the restricted zones close to the pool described in the manual. Leave enough space above the pump to remove the strainer basket.

Note that the pump does not run when it is only connected to the power supply. It needs a digital command from a controller, an automation system or the dry contacts.

Maintenance and care

The pre-filter basket is up to 117% larger and holds 2,6 L, so more debris is caught before the filter needs cleaning. The lid is tightened by hand, without tools, and the lid seal housing should be checked for debris before refitting.

• Never run the pump dry.
• Use it with clean water only.
• Protect it from frost and from direct water such as sprinklers or roof run-off.
• Do not attempt to repair a faulty unit yourself. Contact a qualified technician.
