(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should
be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button.
The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is
defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test
button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the
pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service
representative before using.
This pump is for use with permanent swimming
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 is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and
reassembled to its original integrity.

The suction at a drain or outlet can cause:
Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening
resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when
a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover,
trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow
rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the drain
cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the
drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough
for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open pool
(particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly
to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present
when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing)
of any pump or filter so the user does not place any
portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer
lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should
allow the user enough space to stand clear of the
filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or
servicing of the system filter.
Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF
PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure.
When any part of the circulating system (i.e.
locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover filter lid and valves
to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death.
Filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent
violent separation. Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when
turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure
that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start
during service. Turn off all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place filter
manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure
in the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place
all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the
tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all
pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream
of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not
higher than the pre-service condition.
General Installation Information
• All work must be performed by a qualified service professional, and
must conform to all national, state, and local codes.
• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models
and therefore some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All
models are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The pump
will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific application
and properly installed.
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in
applications other than for which the pump was
intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may
include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction
entrapment or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural
failure of the pump or other system component.
The pump can produce high levels of suction within
the suction side of the plumbing system. These high
levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within the close
proximity of the suction openings. A person can be seriously injured by
this high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is
absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance
with the latest national and local codes for swimming pools.

IntelliFlo
Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Pump Operating Modes
The IntelliFlo® Variable Speed pump can be programmed three ways:
1. Manual Operation: Speed buttons 1-4 can be programmed for Manual operation. This
means the speed button is pressed and then the start button and the pump runs a programmed
speed. Speeds 5-8 cannot be programmed for Manual operation because there are no buttons
associated with them.
To operate the pump in Manual Mode, press one of the four speed buttons, and press the
Start/Stop button to run the assigned speed for that button. When the pump is running a
Manual Speed Setting (speed 1, 2, 3 or 4 button pressed manually) and a scheduled speed is
set to run, the scheduled speed will take priority regardless of speed (RPM) assigned to each
button. When the Scheduled Speed’s time is over, it will not revert back to the manually
pressed speed. If the pump is running a schedule and a speed button is pressed manually, the
pump will run the manually selected speed until the next scheduled speed program.
2. Egg Timer (Duration): Speeds 1-4 can be programmed to run for a duration of time once
pressed. This means that the Speed button is pressed and then the start button and the pump
runs a programmed speed and the speed will turn off at the end of a preprogrammed amount
of time. Speeds 5-8 have no direct pump speed buttons and therefore cannot be programmed
with an Egg-Timer.
7
3. Schedule: The speed button can be programmed to turn on and off at a certain time. The
LED above the Start/Stop button must be lit for the pump to run schedules. When a speed is
set to run in Schedule mode it can still be operated manually. When a speed is programmed
to run 23 hours and 59 minutes per day it will not turn off. For example, for the pump to run
24 hours per day, program the pump to start at 8:00 AM and stop at 7:59 AM.
Programming the Pump
When the pump is running, a manual speed and password time out is activated (see page 12) the pump
can be turned off but it cannot be turned back on. Pressing the Start/Stop button places it in the Running
Schedule mode. Therefore, it will only run Speeds that are Scheduled to come on at their scheduled
Start Time.

Priming
The default setting for Priming is ENABLED. Enabling this feature allows the pump to use its “Flow
T echnology” to be sure the pump is primed for startup. This feature will not override the “Max Speed”
setting. The priming feature ramps the pump to 1800 RPM and pauses for three (3) seconds. If there is
suffi cient water fl ow in the pump basket, the pump will go out of priming mode and run its commanded
speed. If the fl ow in the pump basket is not suffi cient, the pump will ramp to the “Max Speed” setting
and stay there for the priming delay time, which is defaulted at 20 seconds. If there is suffi cient water fl ow in the pump basket at this time, it will go out of priming mode and ramp to the commanded speed.
If there is still insuffi cient fl ow in the pump basket, the pump will try to prime at the “Maximum Speed”
for the amount of time set up in the “Maximum Priming Time” menu.
Maximum Priming Time: The Maximum Priming T ime can be set from 1 minute to 30 minutes. The
default setting is 11 minutes. This is the maximum amount of time the pump will try to prime before
giving an error. However if the pump does not see a suf fi cient amount of water in the pump basket this
can cause the pump to report a Priming Dry Alarm within seconds of the beginning of the priming cycle.
Priming Dry Alarm: An insuffi cient amount of water in the basket during priming will cause the
pump to report a Priming Dry Alarm. The basket should be fi lled with water and the pump restarted
when this alarm occurs.
17
Note: When a Priming Dry Alarm takes place it will try to restart after 10 minutes.
Primed Sensitivity: The primed sensitivity can be set from 1% to 100%. The factory default setting
is 1% meaning that the pump is at its most sensitive setting in regards to determining if the pump has
attained a prime or not. Increasing this number will decrease the amount of fl ow needed for the pump
to sense that it is primed. Making this number too high could cause the pump to think it has attained
a prime and evacuated the air from the system when it has not. If the system is such, that the pump
has trouble coming out of the priming mode and it is evident that the pump basket is full of water and
fl owing then the Primed Sensitivity number can be increased.
Priming Delay: The priming delay can be set from 1 second to 10 minutes. The default setting is 20
seconds. This means the pump will ramp to 1800 RPM and stay there for three (3) seconds which it
will always do in the hard Priming Mode. If there is suffi cient fl ow in the pump basket, the pump will
then go out of priming mode and ramp to its commanded speed. If there is insuffi cient water fl ow in
the pump basket, the pump will ramp to the Max Speed Setting and stay there for the default time of
20 seconds. It may be necessary to increase the prime delay to allow the system to stabilize before the
pump goes into running mode. If the pump errors out immediately after priming, then increasing the
Priming Delay time may correct the issue.
When the pump is connected to an automation system and the “Maximum Prime Time” feature is
enabled, it will remain active.

Priming the pump for the fi rst time, or after service
The IntelliFlo® must be primed before starting the pump for the fi rst time. To prime a pump means
fi lling 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.
21
CAUTION - To avoid permanent damage to the IntelliFlo
®
pump, before starting the pump, fi ll the IntelliFlo® housing strainer with water so that the pump will prime correctly. If there is no water in the strainer the
pump will not prime.
• Do not allow the pump to run dry. Running the pump dry may damage the seals, causing leakage
and fl ooding.
• Do not add chemicals to the system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals
may damage the pump and will void the warranty.
• Open gate valves before starting system.
• Be sure to release all air from fi lter and piping system.
®
• The IntelliFlo
pump is a variable speed pump. Typically the lower speeds are used for fi ltration and
heating. The higher speeds can be used for spa jets, water features, and priming.
CAUTION - Before starting this procedure, fi rst read the following:
Before removing the pump lid:

If the pump is being pressure tested, release all pressure before removing trap cover. Do not block the
pump suction while the pump is running. If a body part blocks the pump suction it may cause severe or
fatal injury. Small children using the pool must ALWAYS have close adult supervision.
FIRE and BURN HAZARD - The pump motor may run at a high temperatures. To reduce the risk of
fi re, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns
when handling the motor, shut off the motor and allow it to cool for 20 minutes before trying to work on
it. The IntelliFlo® provides an automatic internal cutoff switch to protect the motor from heat damage
during operation.

Priming the pump for the fi rst time, or after service (Continued)
Priming the Pump
NOTICE: If you replace the o-ring with a non-lubricated o-ring, you may need to apply a silicone
based lubricant.
• Clean and inspect o-ring; reinstall on trap cover.
• Replace trap cover on trap; turn clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTICE: Tighten the pump lid by hand only (no wrenches).
Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction piping. If
pump does not prime, be sure that all valves are open, suction pipe end is under water, pump suction
is below water level, and that there are no leaks in suction pipe.
To prime the IntelliFlo® pump:
1. Turn the pump clamp and lid in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops and remove them.
2. Fill the pump strainer pot with water.
3. Check the system and ensure water has an open path for free system fl ow.
4. Reinstall the pump clamp and lid onto the strainer pot. The pump is now ready to prime.
5. Be sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
6. Open the air release valve on the fi lter, and stand clear of the fi lter.
7. Switch the pump on at the circuit breaker. Ensure that the green power light is on.
8. Press the Speed 1 button to select the pump speed of 750 RPM.
9. Press the Start button to start the pump. Use the Up/Down button to increase the speed as
necessary to prime the pump.
10. When water comes out of the air release valve, close the valve. The system should now be
circulating water back to the pool without air bubbles showing in either the hair and lint pot or at the
pool return fi ttings.

Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Winterizing
To protect the IntelliFlo® pump electronics from damage due to freezing conditions, the pump will
switch itself on to generate internal heat when the air temperature drops below 4.4° C (40° F). The
IntelliFlo® pump “Anti Freeze” feature is not intended to protect the system plumbing from freezing.
The Anti Freeze temperature feature is adjustable and can be changed from 4.4 ° - 10° C (40° - 50° F).
See page 10 for more information.
1. If the air temperature drops below 4.4° C (40° F) the water in the pump can freeze and cause
damage. Freeze damage is not warrantable.
2. To prevent freeze damage follow the procedures listed below.
• Shut off electrical power for the pump at the circuit breaker.
• Drain the water out of the pump by removing the two thumb-twist drain plugs located at the
bottom of the volute. Store the plugs in the pump basket.
• Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice.
• Do not wrap the motor in plastic. It will cause condensation and rust on the inside of the
motor.
29
Note: In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing conditions may occur, run your fi ltering
equipment all night to prevent freezing.
Priming the pump after service
Before a system start-up, the pump and system must be manually primed. Be sure to reopen valves
before operating. To prime IntelliFlo® pump, the strainer pot must be fi lled with water.
CAUTION —
For instructions about how to prime the IntelliFlo® pump, refer to “Priming the pump for the fi rst
time or after service” on page 21 .
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.

easily for maintenance and repair.
• For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size. When installing the inlet
and outlet fi ttings (male adaptors), use thread sealant.
• Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet or outlet. A valve, elbow or tee installed in the
suction line should be no closer to the front of the pump than fi ve times the suction line pipe diameter (i.e., 2 inch (5.1 cm) pipe requires a 10 inch (254 mm) 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 fi ve times the suction pipe diameter as described above.

Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Wiring the IntelliFlo® Pump
To connect the IntelliFlo® pump to an AC power source:
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2. Be sure that the wiring voltage is 230 VAC ± 10%.
3. Use #12 AWG for wire runs up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) and #10 AWG for lengths longer than
100 feet (30.5 meters). When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge
will allow the motor to run cooler and more effi cient.
4. Be sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do not overlap or touch when connected.
6. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground wire, as shown below. Use the correct
wire size and type specifi ed by National Electrical Code. Be sure the ground wire is connected to
an electrical service ground.
7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid
copper bonding conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. Run a wire from the external bonding lug to the
pool bonding structure, as shown below.
8. Connect the wire from the accessible bonding lug on the motor to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within
5 feet of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. For Canada, a 6 AWG or larger solid
copper bonding conductor is required.
9. The pump should be permanently connected to either a circuit breaker, 2-pole timer or 2-pole
relay. If AC power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker, use a dedicated circuit breaker that has no
other electrical loads.
10. IMPORTANT: When connecting the pump to an automation system (IntelliTouch, EasyTouch,
SunTouch and IntelliComm), continuous power must be supplied to the pump by connecting it
directly to the circuit breaker. When using an automation system, be sure that no other lights
or appliances are on the same circuit.
31
NOTE: When the IntelliFlo® is started and stopped by removing power with a relay or timer, a two-pole
device should be used to apply and remove power to both POWER LINE TERMINALS.

The IntelliFlo® pump displays all alarms and warnings on the control panel display . When an alarm or
warning condition exists, the corresponding LED will be lit on the display. All control panel buttons
are disabled until the alarm or warning is acknowledged with the Enter button. Press the Reset button
to clear the alarm once the fault condition has been resolved. Note: The IntelliFlo® pump will not start
if the impeller is rotating. The alerts and warnings are:
•
Power out failure: The incoming supply voltage is less than 170 VAC. The drive faults to protect
itself from over current. The drive contains capacitors that keep it powered up long enough
to save the current run parameters. If power is restored during this process, approximately 20
seconds, the drive will not restart until completed.
35
• Priming error: If the pump is not defi ned as primed within the “Max Priming Time” it will stop
and generate a “Priming Alarm” for 10 minutes, then attempt to prime again. The “Max Priming
Time” is set by the user on the priming menu as discussed on page 18. If the IntelliFlo® cannot
prime within fi ve attempts it will generate a permanent alarm that must be manually reset.
• Overheat alert: If the drive temperature gets above 54.4° C (130° F) the IntelliFlo® will slowly
reduce speed until the over temperature condition clears.
• Anti-freezing: When active, the motor will run at the preset RPM until the drive temperature
increases above the minimum. The pump’s internal antifreeze protection is disabled when
connected to an automation system. Freeze protection is provided by selecting YES at the ON
WITH FREEZE portion of the IntelliTouch’s appropriate circuit function menu. To re-enable
the internal antifreeze protection, the power to the drive must be cycled off then back on.
• Over current:Indicated that the drive is overloaded or the motor has an electrical problem. The
drive will restart 20 seconds after the over current condition clears.
• Over voltage: Indicates excessive supply voltage or an external water source is causing the
pump and motor to rotate thereby generating an excessive voltage on the drives internal DC
buss. The drive will restart 20 seconds after the over voltage condition clears.
