IntelliPro® VS-3050

Intelligent Variable Speed Pump

By Sta-Rite

The single most valuable investment
you can make in your pool

®

A monumental advance in

energy efciency,

service life and silent operation

Most pool owners are shocked when they learn
how much a pool pump can cost to operate, because
it isn’t itemized on their electric bill. But, a single­speed or two-speed pump can consume as much
energy as all other home appliances combined—
and often more than $1,000 per year in areas with
the highest energy rates.

utility costs annually—more where rates are higher
than average.

Two technology innovations are
responsible for this remarkable list of performance
improvements.

*Savings based on a comparison pump running between 6 and 12 hours per day at the
national average of $0.15/kWh in a 20,000 gallon pool. Savings may vary based on plumbing
size and length, pump model, service factor, ow rates and other hydraulic factors.

1. Exclusive, advanced motor technology

First, IntelliPro employs exclusive permanent magnet motors
(used in hybrid cars), a fundamentally more energy efficient
design compared to traditional induction motors.

2. Onboard intelligence with variable drive

Second, IntelliPro includes a variable speed capability, along
with digital controls and proprietary software that allow custom
programming of optimum pump speeds for specific tasks—
filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets, waterfalls, etc. There are
four individual, adjustable speed settings at your command.

For virtually all applications, the optimum speed will be lower
than the pre-set, unchangeable speed of older pumps. Using
slower speeds takes advantage of a fundamental pump law:
slower is far more efficient. The result is up to 90% in savings
compared to even so-called high-efficiency, single-speed and
two-speed pumps.

These combined innovations result in a pump that often uses
just a fraction of the horsepower of standard pumps, reducing
energy use dramatically. While that’s impressive, wait until you
see the savings potential.
