IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important Notice:
Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use
of this product.This information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.
WARNING — Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which
are included.Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury,
death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free copies of these
instructions.
WARNING — Entrapment Avoidance Notice:
The suction outlet connected to a swimming pool or spa pump can pull a high vacuum
if it is blocked. Therefore, if only one suction outlet smaller than 18" x 23" is used,
anyone blocking the suction outlet with their body can be trapped and held against the
suction outlet. Disembowelment or drowning can result. Therefore, if small suction
outlets are used with this pump, to prevent this entrapment and possible death, install
at least two suction outlets in the body of water. Separate these suction outlets as
described in the International Residential Code (IRC), the International Business Code
(IBC), the Consumer Products Safety Council (CPSC) Guidelines for Entrapment Hazards:
Making Pools and Spas Safer or ANSI/IAF-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance
in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Catch Basins. If suction outlets
are not used, additional entrapment avoidance measures as described in the CPSC
Guidelines or ANSI/IAF-7 should be employed.
The covers used on suction outlets should be approved and listed as conforming to the
currently published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 Standard covering Suction Fittings
for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs.These covers should be
inspected regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design lifetime
indicated on them by the manufacturer. The maximum possible flow rate of this pump
should be less than or equal to the maximum approved flow rate indicated on the suction
outlet cover by the manufacturer.THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING
USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN
RESULT IN HAIR ENTANGLEMENTWHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH.
WARNING — Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
WARNING — Water temperature in excess of 100° Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your health.Prolonged
immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of
98.6° F. (37° C.). The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy, dizziness,
fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure to
perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability to exit
the spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of
drowning.
WARNING — The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
WARNING — For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to
the occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and within
sight of, the unit.
WARNING — When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes
governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
CAUTION — Install the pump a minimum of five (5) feet from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian
installations require a minimum of three (3) meters from pool water.
CAUTION — A No. 8 AWG or larger conductor must be wired to the motor bonding lug.
CAUTION — This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed
in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49 m) and a maximum wall
height of 42 inches (1.07 m).
CAUTION — For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a
hot tub or spa unless so marked.
CAUTION — IntelliFlo is capable of generating systems pressures up to 50 psi. Installers must ensure
that all system components are rated to withstand at least 50 psi. Over pressurizing the
system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.

Section 1
Introduction
IntelliFlo Overview
The IntelliFlo variable-speed pump control system offers pool and spa filter automation and advanced
features that include energy conservation and programmable scheduled water features for your pool, spa,
cleaner, waterfall, and other applications.
The IntelliFlo pump can adapt to any application up to 130 gallons per minute, you simply program IntelliFlo to
suit the application. IntelliFlo then dials in the perfect operating conditions.
IntelliFlo can reduce energy cost by as much as 90% based on a pool size up to 15,000 gallons, one turn
per day with a 24 hour cycle.
IntelliFlo constantly monitors water flow and electrical current to ensure that the filtration system is operating
at peak efficiency. This can result in maximum energy efficiency savings never before possible – up to 90%
over conventional pumps. The system protects against loss of prime or impedance of flow, under and over
voltage situations, and thermal overload or freezing.
With IntelliFlo there’s no need for pump curves and hydraulic calculations to determine the right pump for
the job. Just set the program for your pool size and desired turnover, and IntelliFlo does the rest.

The IntelliFlo three-phase six-pole motor operates at 3450 RPM (at 92% efficiency) and 400 RPM (at
90%). The motor assembly is continually cooled by an external fan. Dual seals on the motor shaft and at the
fan assembly seal the entire motor from any moisture entering the motor assembly. For added protection, a
slinger located in front of the main shaft seal assists in slinging water away from the shaft opening in the
flange.

Section 3
Operating IntelliFlo
This section describes how to use the IntelliFlo pump control panel.
Metering the System
The first step to operating and programming IntelliFlo is to know what is being used in the
pool system.After the devices are selected you can then set valves for the appropriate
features and use the “Manual” mode to measure flow rates for the types or series of
devices that require flow. When an appropriate flow rate or rates are found for a device
or series of devices, you should note that flow rate for programming later.

Priming Mode
To “prime” a pump means filling the pump and suction pipe with water. This process evacuates the air from all
the suction lines and the pump. It may take several minutes to prime depending on the depth of water, pipe size
and length. It is easier to prime a pump if you allow all the air to escape from the pump and pipes. The water
cannot enter unless the air can escape. Pumps do not hold prime, the pool piping system has that task.
Priming is a function used every time the motor is started with a flow as reference. The “Priming Flow” function
ensures the proper operation of the pump. The “System Priming Time” function ensures proper operation of the
whole pool system. When the pump is priming, the control panel LCD displays “Priming” and then for a moment
displays “Primed” when priming is complete.
CAUTION: To avoid permanent damage to the IntelliFlo pump, before starting the system, fill the IntelliFlo
housing strainer with water so that the pump will prime correctly. If there is no water in the stainer the pump will
not prime.

The “Max Priming Flow” value is entered as gallons per minute (GPM), from 30
to 160 GPM. The default is 55 GPM. The “Max Priming Flow” is a critical
parameter for the pool and equipment. Every time the pump starts this parameter
will negotiate the maximum flow of the pump. If the flow is too high, equipment
damage can occur. If the flow is to low the pump will not prime. This “flow” is
system dependent and may require iteration. The pump will never flow more than
this parameter is set to, however, it is common for the pump to ramp up and down
quickly while priming.Always try to keep this flow as low as possible for cost
savings and safety.

Max Primiing Time
The “System Priming Time” value is entered in minutes, from 0 to 5 minutes. The
default is 0 minutes. Remember that the average unit will prime in a short period of
time because the IntelliFlo has the ability to monitor itself to make sure it is primed.
“System Priming Time” is for systems that require high flows that priming flow can
provide but it is deemed that more time is needed to fully relieve all the air. The
builder can program a pre determined amount of time, up to 5 minutes, to aid in
relieving the air from difficult filters or complex vertical plumbing. The “System
Priming Time” should only be used where large air traps become problems within
the system. The display will inform the user when this is engaged and when it is

IntelliFlo will calculate the required flow rate based on pool size, clean filter pressure, pool turns per day
and cycles per day, and will control the motor speed to keep a constant flow. The filter mode can run
cycles, power save or features. The IntelliFlo internal scheduler will keep track of which function to run.
IntelliFlo is constantly monitoring the filter, when it detects that the system is dirty, it will display an “Alert -
Service System Soon” message on the control panel display. The user must then clean the filter by
performing a Backwash cycle (see page 33).

This parameter can be set from 1 PSI to 50 PSI. The average setting should be

the percentage meter for the filter. The “Service System Soon” alert is activated by
the entered PSI value. When this value is reached the pump stops monitoring flow
rates and starts managing pressure. The value represents the change in pressure
over time from start up (system clean) to present day (system getting dirty). The
changes can come from anywhere in the system, for example clogged skimmers or
pots in pumps. For more information, refer to “Clean Filter Pressure” on page 19.

IntelliFlo uses the Cycles Per Day parameter to calculate how much time it has to

The more time the IntelliFlo is given to operate the less power and flow will be
needed for turning over the pool.

Note: Consumers in certain areas are charged lower energy rates at non-peak
hours. To take advantage of this, the IntelliFlo can be programmed to run at
any time of the day. The extremely quiet operation of the IntelliFlo makes it
feasible to operate during the early morning or late at night. The easiest and
best way to optimize flow during filter cycles is by adding or subtracting cycle
time. This way, the desired flow effect, for example, skimming action, can be
achieved while maintaining the desired water turnover rate.

Using Filter mode with Features mode
IntelliFlo will start and stop at programmed filter cycles 1-4. The filter cycles can be overridden by
“Feature” (3-9 only) as shown in the example below. This may cause the required filter volume to be
achieved earlier.
The “Feature” function is allowed to take control during “Filter” mode. When the feature function stops,
IntelliFlo will continue in “Filter” mode. If only Feature 3-9 is active during a filter cycle, IntelliFlo will
calculate a new filter cycle.
Example: The IntelliFlo was suppose to run in Filter mode from 1:00 to 11:00 to turnover
10 GPM for 10 hours (10 GPM 10 Hours= 6 kGal).
But because Feature 3 has been running 20 GPM for 4 hours (20 GPM 4 Hours= 4,8 kGal),
the IntelliFlo must stop at 8:00 because; 10 GPM* 3 Hours + 20 GPM 4 Hours= 6,6 kGal.

Features Mode
The Feature mode can be used with water features such as spa, cleaner, waterfalls, etc.You can schedule
start and stop times for each feature.All Features are operated using Flow control. The Feature mode and
Filter mode are run simultaneously. The three types of features are; Features 1 & 2, Features 3 -9 and
M.O. Flo:
Features 1 and 2
Feature 1 and Feature 2 run for a pre-defined duration with a specifically set flow. If Feature 1 or Feature 2
buttons are pressed, all other Features are temporarily deactivated. Feature 1 or Feature 2 cannot be used
in Backwash Mode. Features 1 and 2 have a higher priority than the pre-programmed Features 3-9.After
the preset duration time for the Feature 1(2), IntelliFlo will switch back to the “Filter” mode if the IntelliFlo
was in “Filter” mode when the Feature 1 (2) button had been pressed.After the preset duration time for the
Feature 1(2), the IntelliFlo will switch back to the “Manual” mode if IntelliFlo was in “Manual” mode when
the Feature 1 (2) button had been pressed.
Features 3 -9
Features 3 through 9 are only active in Filter mode. These features run a set flow for a specified time. The
Features 3-9 can not overlap.
M. O. Flo
The M. O. Flo feature automatically increases the pump flow to allow the system heater to check the water
temperature and switch on if necessary. This feature is only active when the pump is running a filter cycle.
Once the heater checks for heat and discovers it must fire it will send a signal back to IntelliFlo to go into
“Heater” mode. M.O. Flo only works during the “Filter” mode selected time cycles

External Control with IntelliComm Communication Center
The IntelliFlo can be remotely controlled by the Pentair IntelliComm Communication Center using an
optional communications cable (P/N 350122). The IntelliComm provides four pairs of input terminal
connections. These inputs are actuated by either 15 - 240 VAC or 15 - 100 VDC. Using the device's
inputs, the IntelliFlo external control Programs 1-4 can be controlled.
If more than one input is active the highest number will be communicated to the IntelliFlo pump. The
IntelliComm will always communicate to pump address 1. The IntelliFlo control panel remains active when
the IntelliFlo is connected to the IntelliComm.
The following table shows the wiring terminal descriptions for IntelliComm.

Controlling IntelliFlo with the IntelliTouch
The IntelliFlo pump can be controlled by an IntelliTouch system via the RS-485 communication cable. In
this configuration IntelliTouch starts and stops the IntelliFlo. IntelliTouch also rewrites many of the
parameters in the IntelliFlo drive's memory, such as the filter cycle start and stop times, pool size and the
clock. The transfer of this data takes several seconds and causes a delay from when the command is given
from the IntelliTouch indoor control panel until the IntelliFlo physically responds. Frequently, these changes
to the IntelliFlo parameters will cause the pump to stop while it recalculates internal parameters and then
restart. This happens automatically but may take 1-2 minutes to complete.
The IntelliFlo LCD control panel is disabled when communicating with the IntelliTouch system and
"DISPLAYNOTACTIVE" will be displayed. Note that IntelliTouch will not start communicating with the
IntelliFlo until the pump is assigned an IntelliTouch circuit name. For more information, refer to the
IntelliTouch User's Guide (P/N 520102).
Connecting IntelliFlo to IntelliTouch
Connection from IntelliFlo to the IntelliTouch system is via the optional two-wire cable (P/N 350122). The
cable pinout is shown on page 32.
To connect the IntelliFlo cable to the IntelliTouch load center:
1.
CAUTION - Switch the main power off to the IntelliTouch load center.
2. Unlatch the IntelliTouch load center front door spring latches, and open the front door.
3. Remove the cover-panel screws securing the high voltage cover-panel, and remove it from the
enclosure.
4. Loosen the two control panel access screws and fold down the outdoor control panel.
5. Insert the two-wire cable into plastic grommet on the bottom of the enclosure and route the wire up
through the low voltage raceway to the Personality board.

Backwash Mode
When the Filter mode has detected that the differential pressure is at the “Clean Filter Pressure” the filter
must be cleaned. You need to stop IntelliFlo either by pressing the Backwash button or “Start/Stop” button.
IntelliFlo must now be run for a preset cycle time with a preset flow. The flow is adjustable to accommodate
the specific filter backwash flow requirement.After the backwash cycle, a rinse cycle, with preset duration
time will be executed. When the two cycles have been completed or if the Start/Stop button is pressed to
stop the process, the filter status will be recalculated and the zero-pressure measured when Filter mode is
operated again.

Backwash is a essential mode for cleaning as well as maintaining the % Clean Filter menu
Backwash mode tells the computer to recalculate the clean filter pressure and start a new cycle
Backwash button doubles for Rinse in operation
When using cartridge filters the backwash cycle must be performed when cleaning or replacing
filters. This helps the computer reset its 0 head pressure level
•
If you are charging a DE system, charge the system first during a normal running cycle.After the
filter is charged, run the pump in backwash mode with the filter valve in the filter position to reset the
% clean filter status. Then run the pump in filter mode.
Note: IntelliFlo will ramp up to full speed if necessary to achieve the commanded flow. Be sure that
the system can withstand the resultant pressures.

Section 4
User Maintenance
The following information describes how to service and maintain the IntelliFlo pump.
Pump Strainer Basket
The strainer, sometimes referred to as the “Hair and Lint Pot,” is in front of the of the pump. Inside there is
a basket which must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View the basket through the top see
through lid to inspect for leaves and debris.
Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint
pot basket at least once a week.Adirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and possibly the heater.
WARNING —DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without
water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up
of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious
personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and
discharge valves are open and that the strainer pot is cool to the touch, then open with
extreme caution.
CAUTION — To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean
pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.

Manual Priming and Initial Start-up After Service
Before a system start-up, the pump and system must be manually primed. Make sure to reopen valves
before operating. To prime IntelliFlo, the strainer pot must be filled with water.
CAUTION — DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and
the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS
maintain proper water level in your pool. Continued operation in this manner could cause
a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal.
To prime the IntelliFlo pump:
1. Turn the pump clamp and lid in a counterclockwise direction until it stops and remove them.
2. Fillthepumpstrainerpotwithwater.
3. Reinstallthepumpclampandlidontothestrainerpot.Thepumpisnowreadytoprime.

Installation and Removal
The following general information describes how to install the IntelliFlo pump.
Attention Installer: Before installing the IntelliFlo pump, read and follow all warning notices,
instructions and safety precautions on pages iii and vi.

7. Installthepumpwitharearclearanceofatleast6inchessothatthemotorcanberemovedeasilyfor
maintenanceandrepair.
Piping
For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size. When installing the inlet and outlet
fittings (male adaptors), use thread sealant. Do NOT use Teflon® tape.
Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet or outlet.Avalve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line
should be no closer to the front of the pump than five (5) times the suction line pipe diameter (i.e., two (2)
inch pipe requires a ten (10) inch straight run in front of the suction inlet of the pump). This will help the
pump prime faster and last longer.
Flooded suction systems should have gate valves installed on suction and discharge pipes for maintenance,
however, the suction gate valve should be no closer than five (5) times the suction pipe diameter as
described above.
Check Valves
Check valves must be used when an IntelliFlo is used in parallel with other pumps. IntelliFlo pumps cannot
be connected in series with other pumps.

Overheat alert: If the drive temperature gets above 130 degrees, the IntelliFlo
will slowly reduce speed until the over temperature condition clears.
Anti-freezing: When active, the motor will run at 1000 rpm for 60 minutes. Only active in Filter and
Manual modes. Note: The IntelliFlo's internal anti-freeze protection is disabled when connected to
an IntelliTouch system. Freeze protection is provided by selectingYES at the ON WITH FREEZE
portion of the IntelliTouch's appropriate circuit function menu. To re-enable the IntelliFlo's internal
anti-freeze protection, the power to the drive must be cycled off then back on.
Blocked system: Detects a blocked suction line. This alarm resets automatically after 30 seconds
and the pump restarts.
System service soon: Alerts the operator that the pump discharge pressure has reached the Clean
Filter Pressure as setup in the Filter Menu. The filter status will be displayed as 100%. The yellow
warning LED will be on until a backwash cycle is operated. The IntelliFlo will automatically reduce
speed as necessary to not exceed the Clean Filter Pressure.

When something blocks the suction or the pump fully it will shut off immediately (within 1 second). It will
also shut off after a few seconds of dead heading with the same alert. The unit will come back on in 30
seconds and ramp up slowly. This function should be tested with all new installations by directing the flow to
one suction and covering it with a piece of material other than someone’s hand. This alert is deactivated in
Manual mode.

when there is no power to the unit.
•
•
IntelliFlo is not submersible
The pump is capable of 160 GPM or 104 feet of head; use caution when installing and programming
to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment
•
Code requirements for the electrical connection differ from state to state. Install equipment in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
•
•
There is no pressure limit in “Features” flow control
Manual mode shuts off all sensors including Suction Blockage; use only in emergency or when
metering a system.
•
•
The unit needs constant power it is built to turn itself on / off
Always stop the unit before performing maintenance
Electrical Cost Overview
To calculate a system’s “ContinuousWatts” use the following formula:
Amps X Volts X Power Factor = Continuous Watts

The IntelliFlo does not require calculation for continuous watts since it is displayed on the screen in all
modes. Just simply take the watts published on the screen, convert to kilowatts, and multiply by the kilowatt
hour.The formula is:
210 watts = .210 kilowatt X $.08 = $.016 per hour
Remember to also consider the amount of water moved for the cost incurred (Water to Wire Efficiency).
The IntelliFlo cannot be matched in today’s industry for flow versus continuous watts at any speed by any
other pump in pool. The Filter mode and flow control further assists in cost saving by always allowing the
pump to do the least amount of work at all times.

How to make your pool more energy efficient
Swimming pools are great for relaxing, exercising or just having fun. But they also mean higher than average
energy bills. The key to saving energy with your pool is to correctly manage the filter pump time, pool
temperature and lighting. Consider the following when operating your swimming pool:
Using your IntelliFlo pump
Your pool needs to be filtered every 24 hours. The time to filter the pool depends on:
•
•
•
•
The size of your pool.
The filtering equipment.
How much you use your pool.
Different environmental factors (such as how much sunlight hits the pool).
Typically, one complete turnover of water every 24 hours provides adequate filtering for a single-family
pool. The more you use your pool, the more filtering it will need. It is generally recommended that you run
your filter for four to six hours a day during the summer and two to four hours a day during the winter. If
you’re filtering more than this, try reducing your daily filtering time by 30 minutes.After a week, if the water
clarity and chemical balance show adequate filtration is taking place, try reducing your filtering time by
another 30 minutes. Continue this process until water clarity or chemical imbalance indicates more filtering is
needed. In addition to chemical testing, a good way to check your water clarity is that the main drain cover
should be clearly visible from the deck.
Automatic pool sweeps (booster pump style)
Usually, three to four hours of daily operation during summer and two to three hours daily in the winter are
sufficient. Start the pool sweep one hour or more after the pool pump has started and stop the sweep one
hour or more before the pool pump turns off. On unusually dusty days, increase cleaning time in half-hour
increments until the pool is clean. Use a wall brush and leaf skimmer frequently to help the sweep along.
Filter during off-peak times
You can help everyone by filtering your pool during off-peak hours.Avoid operating your pool filter
between the hours of noon and 6 P.M. This will help reduce the demand for electricity, conserve natural
resources, and save money. Of course, if your pool has solar heating, you’ll need to filter when the sun is
correctly positioned for your solar panels. However, we recommend that you minimize filtration during the
peak period of noon to 6 P.M. as much as possible.
Setting filtering time
A filter time clock is an easy way to manage pool filtering. Just be sure to check it once a month to make
sure the trippers are secure. Check your clock’s instruction manual for directions on setting the operation
times. Remember to reset the time clock after power outages and for the fall and spring time change.

Preventive maintenance
Follow a regular program of preventive maintenance, including an annual inspection of the heat exchanger to
helpmaintainheatingefficiency.
Energy Efficient IntelliFlo pump
When its time to replace your old motor and pump assembly, consider using the IntelliFlo variable speed
energy-efficient pump. It moves more water more efficiently, and can help you reduce your filter operating
time by hours. IntelliFlo can automatically control tasks like pool vacuuming, filtering and backwashing,
operating the automatic pool sweep and pump operation for the pool/spa combination. Once these tasks
are done, IntelliFlo automatically ramps down to low speed for your pool's daily filtration cycle, which can
save energy and money for you.
