Priming the pump for the first time or after service

Before the IntelliFlo® VS pump is started for the first time it must be primed. 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.

CAUTION - To avoid permanent damage to the IntelliFlo® VS pump, before starting the pump, 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.

•NEVER run the pump dry! Running the pump dry may damage the seals, causing leakage and flooding!

•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.

•Pump will prime itself when used in flooded suction system.

•Be sure to release all air from filter and piping system.

•The IntelliFlo® VS pump is a variable speed pump. Typically the lower speeds are used for filtration and heating. The higher speeds can be used for spa jets, water features, and priming.

CAUTION - Before starting this procedure, first read the following

Before removing the pump lid:

1.Press the Stop button if the pump is running before proceeding

1.Disconnect the communication cable from the pump.

2.Close the gate valves in suction and discharge pipes.

3.Release all pressure from pump and piping system.

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

WARNING! If the pump is being pressure tested, release all pressure before removing the clamp.

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.

WARNING! FIRE and BURN HAZARD - The pump motor may run at a high temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, 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 VS provides an automatic internal cutoff switch to protect the motor from heat damage during operation.

Priming the pump for the first time or after service (Continued)

Priming the Pump

•Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system; see the filter owner’s manual.

•In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), the IntelliFlo® VS pump will prime itself when suction and discharge valves are opened.

•If the IntelliFlo® VS pump is not in a flooded suction system, remove clamp and lid ; fill the pump with water.

•Do not lubricate the lid o-ring. The original equipment o-ring contains a permanent internal lubricant.

NOTICE: If you replace the o-ring with a non-internally lubricated o-ring, you may need to apply a silicone based lubricant.

•Clean and inspect o-ring; reinstall on lid.

•Replace clamp on strainer pot; turn clockwise to tighten clamp.

NOTICE: Tighten the pump clamp by hand only (no wrenches)!

Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction piping. If pump does not prime, make 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® VS pump:

1.Turn the pump clamp and lid in a counterclockwise direction until it stops and remove them.

2.Fill the pump strainer pot with water.

3.Reinstall the pump clamp and lid onto the strainer pot. The pump is now ready to prime.

4.Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.

5.Open the air release valve on the filter, and stand clear of the filter.

6.Switch the IntelliFlo® pump on at the circuit breaker. Ensure that

the green power light is on.

Top view

7.Press the Speed 1 button to select the pump speed of 750 RPM.

8.Press the Start button to start the pump. Use the Up/Down button to increase the speed as necessary to prime the pump.

9.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 fittings.

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

English

Section 3

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.

If the IntelliFlo® pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close the return and suction lines before opening the hair and lint pot on the pump.

1.Press the Stop button to stop the pump and switch off the pump at the circuit breaker.

2.Relieve pressure in the system.

3.Turn the clamp and lid in a counterclockwise direction until it stops.

4.Remove the clamp and lid.

5.Remove the basket and put the debris into the trash and rinse out the basket. If the basket is cracked, replace the basket.

6.Replace the basket and fill the pump pot and volute with water up to the inlet port.

7.Clean the cover, o-ring, and sealing surface of the pump pot. Grease the o-ring with Teflon or silicone lubricant.

8.Reinstall the lid by placing the clamp and the lid on the pot.

Pump Strainer Basket Service (Continued)

9.Ensure that the lid o-ring is properly placed. Seat the clamp and lid then turn clockwise until the handles are horizontal as shown.

10.Reconnect the communication cable to the pump if required.

11.Switch the power ON at the circuit breaker. Reset the pool time clock to the correct time.

WARNING — FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN

ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM (e.g., LOCK RING,

PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER

THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED

AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO BLOW OFF WHICH CAN RESULT IN

SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID

THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

12.Open the manual air relief valve on top of the filter.

13.Stand clear of the filter. Press the Start button on the pump.

14.Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream of water comes out.

15.Close the manual air relief valve.

•Any enclosure must be well ventilated to prevent overheating. Particular attention should be paid to the motor fan cover and the cooling fins between the drive and the motor.

•Provide ample cross ventilation.

2.Protect against dirt:

•Protect from any foreign matter or splashing water.

•Do not store (or spill) pool chemicals near the motor.

•Avoid sweeping or stirring up dust near the motor while it is operating.

•If a motor has been damaged by dirt it voids the motor warranty.

3.Protect against moisture:

•Protect from splashing pool water.

•Protect from the weather.

•Protect from lawn sprinklers.

•If a motor has become wet - let it dry before operating. Do not allow the pump to operate if it has been flooded.

•If a motor has been damaged by water it voids the motor warranty.

Note: DO NOT wrap motor and controller with plastic or other air tight materials. The motor and controller may be covered, but not wrapped in plastic, during a storm, for winter storage, etc., but never when operating, or expecting operation.

When replacing the motor, be certain that the motor support is correctly positioned to support the size of motor being installed.

English

Winterizing

To protect the IntelliFlo® VS pump electronics from damage due to freezing conditions, the pump will switch itself on to generate internal heat when the air temperature drops below 40° F. This feature is not intended to protect the system plumbing from freezing.

1.If the air temperature drops below 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 filtering equipment all night to prevent freezing.

Priming the pump 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® VS, 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.

For instructions about how to prime the IntelliFlo® VS pump, refer to “Priming the pump for the first time or after servicing,” Section 2.

Section 4

Installation and Removal

The following information describes how to install the IntelliFlo® VS pump.

Note: Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions.

IntelliFlo VS Kit Contents

•IntelliFlo® VS 3050 pump

Installing the IntelliFlo® VS

Only a qualified service person should install the IntelliFlo VS pump.

Location

1.Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible. To reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short and direct suction and piping returns.

2.Install a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) from the inside wall of the pool and spa.

3.Install the pump a minimum of 2 feet (0.6 m) from the heater outlet.

4.Do not install the pump more than 8 feet (2.4 m) above the water level.

5.Install the pump in a sheltered well ventilated location protected from excessive moisture, (i.e., rain, sprinklers, etc.).

6.For hot tubs and spas, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.

7.Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least 6 inches (15 cm) so that the motor can be removed easily for maintenance and repair.

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 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 five (5) times the suction line pipe diameter. 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 Valve

Check valves must be used when the IntelliFlo® VS is used in parallel with other pumps. IntelliFlo® pumps cannot be used in series with other pumps.

English

Wiring the IntelliFlo® VS

To connect the IntelliFlo® to an AC power source:

1.Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.

2.Make sure that the wiring voltage is 230 VAC.

3.Use #12 AWG for wire runs up to 100 feet (30 m) and #10 AWG for lengths longer than 100 feet (30 m). When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge will allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient.

4.Make 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/yellow ground wire, as shown below. Use the correct wire size and type specified by EU Electrical Codes. Make sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground.

7.Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the local regulatiosn. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the external bonding lug to the pool bonding structure, as shown below.

NOTE: When the IntelliFlo® VS pump 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 of the red power leads.

The IntelliFlo® is designed to be permanently connected to its power source. Typically the pump receives power directly from the circuit breaker. No contactor or motor starter is required. IntelliFlo® can be operated in “stand-alone” mode, starting and stopping when power is applied or removed. When the drive powers up it will return to the mode and run status that it was in when power was removed. This setup maybe appropriate if you need to use existing relays or timers.

Wichtiger Hinweis:

Achtung Installateur: Dieses Handbuch enthält wichtige Informationen für die Installation, den Betrieb und die sichere Benutzung dieses Produkts. Diese Informationen sollten dem Besitzer bzw. Betreiber dieser Anlage übermittelt werden.

WARNUNG — Lesen Sie vor dem Installieren dieses Produkts alle Warnhinweise und Anleitungen durch und befolgen Sie sie. Wenn die Sicherheitswarnungen und Anweisungen nicht befolgt werden, kann das zu schweren Verletzungen, Tod, oder zumindest Sachschäden führen.

WARNING — Hinweis über das Vermeiden von Verfangen:

DieAnsaugöffnung in einem Schwimmbecken oder Spa, die an die Pumpe angeschlossen ist, kann, wenn sie blockiert wird, einen starken Vakuumzug erzeugen. Daher kann jemand, wenn nur eineAnsaugöffnung benutzt wird, die kleiner als 46 cm x 58 cm ist, und er bzw. sie die Öffnung mit dem Körper blockiert, gefangen und an der Ansaugöffnung festgehalten werden. Die Folge können Schäden an inneren Organen oder Ertrinken sein.

Deshalb sollten Sie, wenn mit dieser Pumpe kleine Ansaugöffnungen benutzt werden sollen, um dieses Verfangen mit möglicher Todesfolge zu verhüten, mindestens zweiAnsaugöffnungen im Wasser installieren.

Trennen Sie diese Ansaugöffnungen so, wie im Internatioal Residential Code (IRC), in der Internationalen

Geschäftsvorschrift (IBC) und in den Richtlinien des Rats für Verbraucher-Produktsicherheit (CPSC) bezüglich der Gefahr des Verfangens beschrieben: Sicherere Anlage von Schwimmbecken und Spa, oder Standard ANSI/IAF-7 zur Vermeidung von Verfangen durch Ansaugung in Schwimmbecken, Watbecken, Spas, Warmwasserbecken und Ringbecken. Wenn keine solchenAnsaugöffnungen benutzt werden, sollten zusätzliche Maßnahmen zum Vermeiden von Verfangen getroffen werden, wie in den CPSC-Richtlinien oder in ANSI/IAF-7 beschrieben.

Die Abdeckungen, die an solchen Ansaugöffnungen benutzt werden, sollten genehmigt und als konform zu der derzeit veröffentlichten Ausgabe des Standards ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 aufgelistet sein, der die Ansaugarmaturen zur Benutzung in Schwimmbecken, Watbecken, Spas und Warmwasserbecken abdeckt. DieseAbdeckungen sollten regelmäßig inspiziert werden und sind auszutauschen, wenn sie Risse aufweisen, gebrochen sind, oder wenn das auf ihnen vom Hersteller angegebene Ablaufdatum überschritten ist. Die maximal mögliche Durchflussrate dieser Pumpe sollte weniger als oder gleich der maximal zulässigen Durchflussrate sein, die auf der Abdeckung der Ansaugöffnung vom Hersteller angegeben ist. DIE

VERWENDUNG VON NICHT GENEHMIGTENABDECKUNGEN BZW. DAS GESTATTEN DER BENUTZUNG DES SCHWIMMBECKENS ODER SPA, WENN ABDECKUNGEN RISSE AUFWEISEN ODER GEBROCHEN SIND, KANN ZU EINEM VERFANGEN DER HAARE UND MÖGLICHERWEISE ZUM TOD FÜHREN.

WARNUNG — Gefahr von Stromschlägen oder von Tod durch Stromeinwirkung.

Diese Schwimmbeckenpumpe muss von einem lizensierten oder zertifizierten Elektriker bzw. von einem qualifizierten Schwimmbecken-Wartungstechniker in Einhaltung aller geltendenörtlichenVorschriftenundVerordnungeninstalliertwerden.Eineunsachgemäße Installation führt zu Stromgefahren, die durch Stromschlag den Tod oder schwere Verletzungen an den Benutzern des Schwimmbeckens, den Installateuren und anderen verursachen könnten. Sie können jedenfalls auch Sachschäden verursachen.

Schalten Sie immer mit dem Hauptschalter den Strom an der Schwimmbeckenpumpe ab, bevor Sie Wartungsarbeiten an der Pumpe beginnen. Wirddasnichtgetan,könnenderWartungstechniker,Benutzer des Schwimmbeckens und andere durch Stromschlag schwer verletzt werden oder sogar sterben.
