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.

SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF
THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION
OUTLETS!
F
THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES
A STRONG VACUUM AT THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
BODY OF WATER. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN TRAP
ADULTS OR CHILDREN UNDER WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE
PROXIMITY TO A DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER
OR GRATE.
THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF
THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR
BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR
ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAPMENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR
DEATH.
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.
INTELLIPRO® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide

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
anti-entrapment suction cover must be used for each drain.
• Each suction cover must be installed at least three (3’) feet apart,
as measured from the nearest point to nearest point.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced
weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing,
replace with an appropriate certified cover.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over
time due to exposure to sunlight and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction
cover, pool drain or outlet.
• Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return inlets.
A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch for the
pump must be in an easily accessible, obvious place.
Make sure users know where it is and how to use it in case of emergency.
The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act creates
new requirements for owners and operators of commercial swimming
pools and spas.
Commercial pools or spas constructed on or after December 19, 2008,
shall utilize:
(A) A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction
outlet covers that meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a Suction Fittings for

that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a and either:
(A) A SVRS meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM F2387, or
(B) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system, or
(C) An automatic pump shut-off system, or
(D) Disabled submerged outlets, or
(E) Suction outlets shall be reconfigured into return inlets.
For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF
Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
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.
INTELLIPRO® 2 VST 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.

INSTALLATION
Only a qualified plumbing professional should install the IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump. Refer to “Important
Pump Warning And Safety Instructions” on pages ii - iii for additional installation and safety information.
Location
Note: Do not install this pump within an outer enclosure or
beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless marked accordingly.
Note: Ensure that the pump is mechanically secured to the
equipment pad.
Be sure the pump location meets the following
requirements:
1. Install the pump as close to the pool or spa as possible.
To reduce friction loss and improve efficiency, use short,
direct suction and return piping.
2. Install a minimum of 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the inside
wall of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require
a minimum of 9.8 feet (3 meters) from the inside wall of
the pool.
3. Install the pump a minimum of 3 feet (.9 meters) from the
heater outlet.
4. Do not install the pump more than 10 feet (3.1 meters)
above the water level.
5. Install pump in a well ventilated location protected from
excess moisture (i.e. rain gutter downspouts, sprinklers,
etc.).
6. Install the pump with a rear clearance of at least 3 inches
(7.6 cm) so that the motor can be removed easily for
maintenance and repair. See Figure 1.

Piping
1. For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a
larger pipe size. When installing the inlet and outlet fittings
(male adaptors), unless using the unions supplied with the
pump, use thread sealant.
2. Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the same
or larger than the return line diameter.
3. Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as
short as possible.
4. For most installations Pentair recommends installing a
valve on both the pump suction and return lines so that
the pump can be isolated during routine maintenance.
We also recommend a valve, elbow or tee installed in the
suction line should be no closer to the front of he pump
than five (5) times the suction line pipe diameter. See
Figure 2.
Example: A 2.5 inch pipe requires a 12.5 inch (31.8 cm)
straight run in front of the suction inlet of the pump). This
will help the pump prime faster and last longer.
Note: DO NOT install 90° elbows directly into the pump
inlet and outlet.
Electrical Requirements
• Install all equipment in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
• A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the
fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
INTELLIPRO® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Optional Keypad Relocation Kit
In special cases when the user lacks easy or
convenient access to the IntelliPro 2 VST Variable
Speed Pump, a Keypad Relocation Kit (P/N 356905Z)
may be purchased from your local pool equipment
supplier. This kit allows the user to remove the keypad
from the top of the drive and mount the keypad in a
fixed location with better access.
For installation instructions refer to the Keypad Relocation Kit Installation Instructions provided with
the kit.
Fittings and Valves
1. Do not install 90° elbows directly into pump inlet.
2. 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 times the suction
pipe diameter as described in this section.
3. Use a check valve in the discharge line when
using this pump for any application where there is
significant height to the plumbing after the pump.
4. Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in
parallel with another pump. This helps prevent
reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.

Electrical Installation
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or
a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others
due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
Note: ALWAYS reinstall the drive lid onto the field wiring compartment when leaving the pump unsupervised during
servicing. This will prevent foreign matter (i.e. rainwater, dust, etc.) from accumulating in the drive.
Note: When connecting the pump to an automation system (IntelliTouch
and IntelliComm® Communication Center), 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.
®
, EasyTouch®, SunTouch® Control Systems
Wiring
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned
off before wiring motor.
STORED CHARGE - Wait at least sixty (60)
seconds before servicing.
2. Be sure that the supply voltage meets the requirements
listed on the motor nameplate. If these requirements
are not met, permanent motor damage may occur.
3. For wiring sizes and general guidelines for proper
electrical installation, please follow the specifications
defined in the National Electric Code and any local
codes as required.
4. Use strain relief and 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. Reinstall the keypad after wiring the pump by plugging
the cover back into the drive wiring connection and
re-seating the keypad in the desired orientation with
the four (4) corner screws.
Note: Ensure that the keypad cable is not pinched
between the drive and keypad during re-seating.
Grounding
1. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground
screw, as shown below. Use the correct wire size
and type specified by National Electrical Code. Be
sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical
service ground.
2. 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.
Bonding
1. Bond the motor to the structure in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. Use a solid copper bonding
conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. For Canadian
installations, a 6 AWG or larger solid copper bonding
conductor is required. Run a wire from the external
bonding screw or lug to the bonding structure.
2. 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

Priming Features
The default priming setting is ENABLED.
The pump also allows you to set the following from
the operator control panel:
• Priming speed
• Priming range (1-10)
• Priming delay
Set up instructions on page 15.
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.
This 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.
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 (half way up skimmer opening).
If the water level falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry,
resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and
seal and may cause property damage and personal injury.

PRIMING
The default setting for Priming is ENABLED. This
setting allows the pump to automatically detect if it is
primed for startup.
The priming feature increases the pump speed to
1800 RPM and pauses for three (3) seconds. If there is
sufficient water flow in the pump basket, the pump will
go out of priming mode and run its commanded speed.
If the water flow is not sufficient, as determined by the
Priming Range setting, the pump speed will increase to
the “Priming Speed” setting and remain for the priming
delay time (default 20 seconds). If there is sufficient
water flow in the pump basket at this time, it will exit
priming mode and transition to the commanded speed.
If there is still insufficient flow in the pump basket, the
pump will try to prime at the “Priming Speed” for the
amount of time set in the “Maximum Priming Time”
menu. Once the pump achieves prime, it will resume
normal operation after the preset priming delay.
Note: It is possible to set “Maximum Speed” too low
for the pump to properly prime. Maximum Speed
will limit Priming Speed, except in one case. If the
Maximum Speed is set below the lowest available
Priming Speed (2400 RPM) then the pump will exceed
the Maximum Speed while the priming feature is
running. This prevents the pump from having trouble
priming if the Maximum Speed is set this low. If this
is a problem, priming can be disabled in the Priming
Menu.

MAX PRIMING TIME
Pump Menu: Priming
Default: ENABLED
Allows IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump to automatically detect if pump if is
primed for startup. The pump will speed up to 1800 RPM and pause for three (3)
seconds - if there is enough water in the basket, the pump will go out of priming
mode and run the commanded speed.
Default: 3450 RPM
The priming speed can be set between 2400 RPM and 3450 RPM. If the pump is
on an equipment pad that is close to the water level, it will not need to run at 3450
RPM to successfully prime. The setting can be lowered to prevent running at a
higher speed than necessary.
Day to day factors (i.e. local ambient pressure, water/air temperatures, amount of
water retained from last system run) can effect priming performance. Because of the
frequently changing nature of these factors the priming speed should be set high
enough to accommodate environmental and mechanical changes to ensure that the
pump can successfully prime. Finding the most effective and efficient speed for your
specific needs may take careful testing and evaluation of priming performance.
Default: 11 minutes
The maximum priming time can be set from 1 - 30 minutes. This setting is the
amount of time the pump will try to prime before it gives a priming error. If this
occurs, fill the pump basket with water and restart the pump.
PRIMING RANGE
PRIMING DELAY
Default: 5
Priming range can be set from 1-10. The smaller the range, the more water the
pump has to be moving to detect that it is primed. At larger ranges, the pump will
detect that it is fully primed while moving less water. If the range is set too high,
then the pump may exit Priming mode before it has fully primed. The range will
automatically adjust with the priming set speed because the flow rates of the pump
will be lower at lower speeds.
Default: 20 seconds
Priming delay can be set from 1 second to 10 minutes.
If the pump does not have enough water after the automatic priming mode, the
pump will increase to the Priming Speed and run for 20 seconds (or for the time set).
You may need to increase the priming delay to allow the system to stabilize before
the pump starts running speeds. If pump continues to show a priming error,
increasing the priming delay time might correct this issue.

MAINTENANCE
DO NOT open the strainer pot if the IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable SpeedPump 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, be sure
the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
To prevent damage to the pump and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
Pump Strainer Basket
The strainer basket (or ‘strainer pot’), is located in front of
the pump housing. The strainer basket must be kept clean
and free of debris. Inspect basket through the lid on the
top of the housing. Be sure to visually inspect the strainer
basket at least once a week. Dirty strainer baskets reduce
filter and heater efficiency and put abnormal stress on
the pump motor.
Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket
1. Press Start/Stop button on the pump and turn
off the pump at the circuit breaker. Disconnect
communication cable from pump.
2. Relieve pressure in the system.
3. Turn the lid and locking ring counter-clockwise and
remove from the pump.
4. Remove debris and rinse out the basket. Replace
the basket if it is cracked.
5. Put the basket back into the housing.
the notch in the bottom of the basket with the rib in
the bottom of the volute.
6. Fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with
water.
7. Clean the lid and locking ring, O-ring, and sealing
surface of the pump pot.
Note: It is important to keep the lid O-ring clean and
well lubricated.
8. Reinstall the lid by placing the locking ring and lid on
the pot. Be sure the lid O-ring is properly placed.
Seat the locking ring and lid on the pump then turn
clockwise until the locking ring handles are horizontal.
9. Turn the power “ON” at the circuit breaker. Reconnect
communication cable from pump.
10. Open the manual air relief valve on the top of the
filter. Stand clear of the filter.
11. Wait until all pressure is relieved. Start the pump.
12. Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream of
water comes out of the filter air relief valve. Close
the manual air relief valve.
Be sure to align
Winterizing
To protect the pump electronics from freeze damage,
the pump will switch on to generate internal heat as the
temperature drops below freezing. The Thermal Mode
feature on the pump is not intended to protect the
system plumbing from freezing.
• In mild climate areas, when temporary freezing
conditions may occur, run your filtering equipment
all night to prevent freezing.
• You are responsible for determining when freezing
conditions may occur. If freezing conditions are
expected, take the following steps to reduce the risk
of freeze damage. Freeze damage is not covered
under warranty.
To prevent freeze damage, follow the procedures below:
1. Shut off electrical power for the pump at the circuit
breaker.
2. Drain the water out of the pump housing by removing
the two thumb-twist drain plugs from the housing.
Store the plugs in the pump basket.
3. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow
and ice.
Note: The motor may be covered during a storm, winter
storage, etc., but never when operating or expecting
operation. Never wrap motor with plastic or other air
tight materials during winter storage.

Drive Assembly and Removal
FIRE and BURN HAZARD - The pump motor
may run at a high temperatures. To reduce the
Alerts and Warnings
The IntelliPro® 2 VST Variable Speed Pump displays all
alarms and warnings on the control panel display. When
an alarm or warning condition exists, the corresponding
light will be lit on the display.
All control panel buttons are disabled until the alarm
or warning is acknowledged with the Reset button.
Pressing the Reset button will clear the alarm once the
fault condition has been resolved.
Note: The pump will not start if the impeller is rotating.
Power Out/OFF
The incoming supply voltage is less than required.
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 Failure
If the pump is not defined 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 13. If the pump cannot
prime within five attempts it will generate a permanent
alarm that must be manually reset.
Overheat
If the drive temperature gets above 54.4° C (130° F) the
pump will slowly reduce speed until the over
temperature condition clears.
Thermal Mode
When active, the motor will run at the preset RPM
until the drive internal temperature increases above
the minimum. The pump’s internal thermal protection
is disabled when connected to an automation system.
Thermal protection is provided by selecting YES at the
ON WITH FREEZE portion of the circuit function menu
in the IntelliTouch
internal thermal protection, the power to the drive must
be cycled off then back on. Important: See explanation
of Thermal Mode on page 16.
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.
Internal Error
Indicates that the self-monitoring motor control software
has encountered an error. Clear the alarm and restart
the pump. If this alarm persists, contact Pentair Technical
Service at 1-800-831-7133.
