Cell Reversing
PLEASE NOTE: The WM44 is designed to reverse automatically at factory pre-set intervals. Excessive
manual reversing will shorten the life of the cell and is only recommended to occasionally check the output
of the cell in both (polarity) directions.

Pump Menu
PLEASE NOTE: Pump Protection is factory pre-set to "OFF".
The WATERMAID® WM44 has the added feature of pump protection. This feature is designed to reduce the
risk of pump and equipment damage in the event that water flow becomes partially or fully restricted. With
this feature enabled, the pump will turn off automatically should a water flow issue be detected. The pump
protection feature is designed to attempt restarts and then shut down if the water flow fault cannot be
resolved.
Pump protection is a last line of defence only. It is extremely important that the pool's skimmer baskets are
emptied regularly, no valves are left in the closed position, and other periodic maintenance is carried out
regularly. In some pool installations, pump protection may not be advantageous, in which case it can be
turned off (the factory set default is "OFF"). The WATERMAID® WM44 cell must be installed as per the
instructions set out in this handbook to maximise the effectiveness of the pump protection feature.
There are three adjustable values that can be set within the pump protection menu as follows;
•
Max dry runs (mins) –This is the number of minutes (between 1 and 9) that the WM44 will provide
power to the pump after an interruption to the water-flow is detected. The factory default for this
setting is 3 minutes.
•
Retry after (mins) – This is the number of minutes (between 5 and 30) that the WM44 will wait before
reapplying power to the pump socket after an interruption to the water-flow is detected. The factory
default for this setting is 5 minutes.
