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 ENTANGLEMENT WHICH 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 serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Alwaysdisconnectpowertothepoolpumpatthecircuitbreakerbeforeservicingthe pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.

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.

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.

IntelliFlo Motor Assembly
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.
Note: If the pool system uses a filter, always monitor pressure at the filter when changing the speed (RPM) or flow (GPM) from IntelliFlo.
Manual Mode
Operating IntelliFlo in manual mode is typically used for service and testing purposes only.

Pool Data Mode
Use the Pool Data menu to configure IntelliFlo for the pool and spa system. From this menu you can set an address for the IntelliFlo pump when connected to an IntelliTouch system, set the volume of pool water, in 1000’s of gallons (kgal) and estimated pool water temperature.
To access the Pool Data menu:
1.Ensure that the green power LED is on and the pump is stopped.
2.Press the Menu button.
3.Press the Up and Down arrow buttons to scroll through the menu items. Press the Select button to access the “Pool Data” menu.
4.To enter the pump volume (pool size): Press the Select button to access “Pool Volume” setting. To enter the pool volume setting, see step 7.
The “Pool Volume” value is expressed as 1000’s of gallons (Kgal). Enter from 1 to 1000 Kgal for the pool volume. The volume number can be a close estimate, although the more accurate the better the turns will be done when employing filter mode. Filter mode uses this value in coordination with the parameters from Filter mode to sustain turn rates, flows, and times.
5.To set the water temperature: Use the Up and Down arrows to select “Water Temperature”. To set the water temperature, see step 7.
Enter the current water temperature from 68° F - 104° F (Default 75° F.) The “Water Temp” is only for the accuracy of the flow sensor. Temperature accuracy is not critical, just enter an approximate temperature. When the IntelliFlo is connected to an IntelliTouch system, water and air temperature information is provided by the system sensors. The flow reading on the IntelliFlo is –0 / +2 GPM. The closer the temperature to the actual temperature, the more accurate the flow reading on the IntelliFlo control panel LCD will be while it’s running.
6.To enter the pump address: Press the Select button to access the “Pump Address” setting. To enter the IntelliFlo pump address, see step 7.
This setting is only used if IntelliFlo is connected to the IntelliTouch system. The “Pump Address” identifies the pump number (1-16) that is displayed on the IntelliTouch control panel for programming. For example, if there are multiple IntelliFlo pumps, pump address 1 can be name as “Spa Pump,” in the IntelliTouch control panel. The IntelliTouch system can address and control up to eight different pumps using the RS-485 COM port connection. Note: IntelliFlo pumps cannot be connected in series with other pumps. Check valves must be used when an IntelliFlo is used in parallel with other pumps.
7.Press the Select button to change the current setting.
8.To enter a new setting, press the Left and Right arrows to select which digit to modify, then use the Up and Down arrows to change the selected digit.
9.When you are done, press the Enter button to save the changes. To cancel any changes, press the Escape button to exit edit mode without saving.

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.
Priming Menu
To enter maximum priming flow (GPM):
1.Ensure that the green power LED is on and the pump is stopped.
2.Press the Menu button. “Pool Data” is displayed.
3.Press the Up or Down arrows to select the “Priming” menu.
4.To set the Max Priming Flow (GPM): Press the Select button to access the “Max Priming Flow” setting. To enter the maximum flow range (GPM) during the priming cycle, see step 7.
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.
