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.
All work must be performed by a licensed electrician, and must conform to
all EU country, and local codes.
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 46 cm x 58 cm is used,
anyone blocking the suction outlet with their body can be trapped and held against
the suction outlet. An abdominal wound 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

Pump Operating Modes
The IntelliFlo® VSD 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 at a manual speed and password time out is activated 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
Technology” 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
sufcient water ow in the pump basket, the pump will go out of priming mode and run its commanded
speed. If the ow in the pump basket is not sufcient, 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 sufcient water
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 insufcient 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 Time 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 sufcient 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 insufcient amount of water in the basket during priming will cause the
pump to report a Priming Dry Alarm. The basket should be 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 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
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 sufcient ow in the pump basket, the pump will
then go out of priming mode and ramp to its commanded speed. If there is insufcient water 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 rst time, or after service
The IntelliFlo® must be primed before starting the pump for the rst time. To prime a pump
means 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, 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 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 lter and piping system.
• The IntelliFlo® pump is a variable speed pump. Typically the lower speeds are used for ltration
and heating. The higher speeds can be used for spa jets, water features, and priming.
CAUTION - Before starting this procedure, rst read the following:
Before removing the pump lid:
1. Press the Stop button if the pump is running before proceeding.
2. Disconnect the communication cable from the pump.
3. Disconnect main power supply
4. Close the gate valves in suction and discharge pipes.
5. Release all pressure from pump and piping system.
6. Never tighten or loosen the locking ring while the pump is operating.
WARNING -
WARNING -
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 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 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 locking ring 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 ow.
4. Reinstall the locking ring 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 lter, and stand clear of the 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 ttings.
11. Use the Up/Down button to adjust the operating speed as desired.

External Control with IntelliComm® Communication Center
The IntelliFlo® pump can be remotely controlled by the Pentair IntelliComm Communication
Center using the RS-485 communications cable. 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 programmed IntelliFlo® pump speeds can be controlled.
Note: For the IntelliFlo® pump to accept commands from IntelliComm, the pump must be
in the “Running Schedules” mode (LED above the Start/Stop button lit).
If more than one input is active the highest number will be communicated to the IntelliFlo®
pump. The IntelliComm will always communicate to pump using ADDRESS #1.
Program number priority is as follows: Example: If programs 1 and 2 are activated, program
2 will run, regardless of the assigned speed (RPM). The higher program number (2 being
higher) will always take priority. The following table shows the wiring terminal descriptions for
IntelliComm.
