IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT IF THIS PUMP AND SAND FILTER IS NOT INSTALLED AND USED CORRECTLY.
INSTALLERS, POOL OPERATORS AND POOL OWNERS MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PUMP AND SAND FILTER.
This pump ss intended for use in swimming pool applications.
Most states and local codes regulate the construction, installation, and operation of public pools and spas, and the construction of residential pools and spas. It is important to comply with these codes, many of which directly regulate the installation and use of this product. Consult your local building and health codes for more information.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - Attention Installer:This Installation and User’s Guide (“Guide”) contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this pump.This Guide should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.
Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions in this Guide. Failure to follow warnings and instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free copies of these instructions. Please refer to www.pentair.com for more information related to these products.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Pool and spa pumps move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger if a person’s hair comes in close proximity to a drain that is not the proper size for the pump or pumps.
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.
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.
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.
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.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION:
PUMPS REQUIRE HIGH VOLTAGE WHICH CAN SHOCK, BURN, OR CAUSE DEATH. BEFORE WORKING ON PUMP!
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker from the pump before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service person, pool users or others due to electric shock.
IntelliFlo VF Installation and User’s Guide
iv
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
Water temperature in excess of 100° F (37.7° C) 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.). 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. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
DO NOT increase pump size; this may increase the flow rate through the system and exceed the maximum flow rate stated on the drain cover.
Do not permit children to operate this product.
If this pump is intended for use 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.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
Before servicing the system, switch the main power OFF and remove the communication cable from the pump.
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.
A No. 8 AWG (No. 6 AWG in Canada) or larger conductor must be wired to the motor bonding lug.
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 (5.49m) and a maximum wall height of 42 inches (1.07m).
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.
The IntelliPro pump 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.
Never exceed the maximum stated pump flow rating.
Only use a pumping system rated for the corresponding flow. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN HAIR OR BODY ENTRAPMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. If in doubt about the rating of your system, consult a qualified pool service professional.
Pumps are not a substitute for properly installed and secured pool drain covers. An ANSI/ ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment drain cover must be used for each drain. Pools and spas should utilize a minimum of two drains per pump. Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately, shut off the pump, post a notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate VGB 2008 certified cover is properly installed. Covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight and pool chemicals. This cover must be replaced within seven (7) years from installation (or earlier if the cover becomes damaged in any way).
IntelliFlo VF Installation and User’s Guide
v
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
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.
The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act imposes certain new requirements on owners and operators of swimming pools and spas.
Pools or spas constructed on or after December 20, 2008, shall utilize:
(A)No submerged suction outlets, a gravity drainage system with ASME/ANSI cover(s), one or more unblockable outlets; or
(B)A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction outlet covers that meet ASME/ ANSI A112.19.8 Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs and either:
(i)A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) for Residential and Commercial Swimming Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, and Wading Pool Suction Systems and/or ASTM F2387 Standard Specification for Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) for Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs or
(ii)A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system or
(iii)An automatic pump shut-off system.
Pools and spas construction prior to December 20, 2008, with a single submerged suction outlet shall use a suction outlet cover that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 and either:
(A)A multiple main drain system without isolation capability, or
(B)A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM F2387, or
(C)A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system, or
(D)An automatic pump shut-off system, or
(E)Disabled submerged outlets, or
(F)Suction outlets shall be reconfigured into return inlets.

•All work must be performed by a qualified pool professional, and must conform to all national, state, and local codes.
•Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
General Installation Information
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.
•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.
General Warnings
•Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even when there is no power to the unit.
•The IntelliPro VS-3050 pump is not submersible
•The IntelliPro VS-3050 pump is capable of 174 GPM or 104 feet of head; use caution when installing and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment
•Code requirements for the electrical connection differ from state to state. Install equipment in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
•Always Press the Stop button and disconnect the communication cable before performing maintenance, and always power the unit off by disconnecting the main circuit to the pump
Two Speed Pump Controls Notice (Title 20 Compliance)
Please read the following important Safety Instructions.

Introduction
IntelliFlo® VF Overview
The IntelliFlo VF variable-flow 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 for that specific flow rate.
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 single speed and two speed 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.
