Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter

(GFCI). Contact a qualiﬁed electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit

that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad

Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to 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.

IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations,

ﬁnger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.

NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.

TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:

• AproperlyinstalledandsecuredANSI/ASMEA112.19.8approved

For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)

IntelliFlo

Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to 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.

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.

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.

Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

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.

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:

6. Never tighten or loosen the clamp while the pump is operating.

WARNING -

Top view

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.

11. Use the Up/Down button to adjust the operating speed as desired.

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 ﬁ lter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efﬁ ciency of the ﬁ lter 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 ﬁ lter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump

strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.

IntelliFlo

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.

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.

Electrical

• A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the ﬁ xed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

• The pump is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.

IntelliFlo

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.

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.

Alerts and Warnings

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.

• 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.
