Upgrade Options?

I don't know about that question, the manual will tell you that. Most come from the factory with a few seconds of full speed for priming before they settle down to whatever speed you have programmed.

I do have a question about the calimar if anyone can help that has one.

I was just wondering, with this VSP is there a way to set it to when it turns on it can ramp up?
Ive never had a VSP before, sorry if its a dumb question.
For example. When the pump starts, can it be very low speed for like a minute (but still using voltage above 120v), then go at full speed after the minute is up?

It's usually the reverse where it goes straight to the priming speed and then after the preset time reverts to the set speed. Why would you want it to ramp up ? If the pump basket dropped a bit the slow speed may do nothing to get the pump to prime.

To answer the question, on Calimar pumps the high speed prime can be set to run anytime the pump starts for 0-7 minutes. This is in addition to your regularly scheduled programming.

Not sure why you’d want to run it slow first. If you’re concerned about water hammer, that’s a non issue because these are all soft start. That being said you can program this manually into the schedule by programming a short cycle into the Speed 1 slot. Takes up a timer slot, but you can set it by the minute.
