This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit
that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should 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 defec-
tive. 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.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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

or servicing of the system filter.
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.

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.

OPERATING THE PUMP

NOTE: Speed 1 is the default filtration speed. When setting up the IntelliFlo® Variable Speed Pump, the user must set the
pump’s internal clock and establish an operation schedule by following the steps in this manual. Please refer to user’s guide
sections: ‘Set Time’ (page 8) and ‘Set Speeds 1-8 in Schedule Mode’ (page 11) to schedule a time to run the pump.

This pump is shipped with Priming mode ENABLED. Unless the Priming settings are changed in the menu, be aware
that the pump will speed up to the maximum speed when the pump is powered on for the first time, and the
start/stop button is pressed. To change the maximum speed of the pump, refer to page 9.
Before turning the pump ON, be sure the following conditions are met:
1. Open filter air relief valve.
2. Open valves.
3. Pool return is completely open and clear of any blockages.
4. Water in the pump basket.
5. Stand clear of the filter or other pressurized vessels.

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 and
personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
DO NOT open the strainer pot if IntelliFlo® Variable Speed 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 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.

When any part of the circulating system (e.g., Lock Ring,
Plugs
Pump, Filter, Valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the
system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can
cause the lid to separate which can result in serious
injury, death, or property damage.
To avoid this potential hazard, follow above instructions. 3TRAINER0OT!SSEMBLY

SERVICING
Always disconnect power to the IntelliFlo® Variable Speed Pump at the circuit breaker and disconnect the communication cable
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.
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 strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
Be sure not to scratch or mar the polished shaft seal faces; seal will leak if faces are damaged. The polished and lapped faces of
the seal could be damaged if not handled with care.

Corrective Action
Check suction piping and valve glands on any suction
gate valves. Secure lid on pump strainer pot and be
sure lid gasket is in place. Check
water level to be sure skimmer is not drawing air.
Be sure the suction lines, pump, strainer, and pump
volute are full of water.
Adjust prime sensitivity to a higher setting
(default setting is 1%).
Clean pump strainer pot.
Replace gasket.
Check suction piping and valve glands on any
suction gate valves.
Turn off electrical power to the pump.
Remove the (6) bolts that holds the housing (strainer
pot/volute) to seal plate. Slide the motor and seal
plate away from the volute.
Clean debris from impeller. If debris cannot be
removed, complete the following steps:
1. Remove diffuser and o-ring.
2. Remove left hand thread anti-spin bolt and o-ring.
3. Remove, clean and reinstall impeller.
4. Reinstall anti-spin bolt and o-ring.
Reinstall diffuser, and o-ring.
Reinstall motor and seal plate into volute.
Reinstall clamp band around seal plate and volute
and tighten securely.
Clean suction trap
Clean pump strainer pot
Bleed air from filter. Be sure air bubbles are not
visible coming into pump pot.
Insert vacuum gauge into pump port connection port.
Confirm vacuum level is 25 in. mercury (hg)
or less.
Stop pump and clear blockage.
Reduce system flow. Change speed. Reduce water
flow. In floor cleaning systems must be designed with
balanced hydraulic losses on all legs.
Enable priming from the “PRIMING” menu.
Lowering ramp speed below 200 RPM may resolve
the issue or addition of external manual valve con-
trols, may resolve issue.

Corrective Action
Check trap basket; if plugged, turn pump off and clean
basket.
Check and clean pool filter.
Increase piping size.
Increase filtration run time
Check voltage at motor terminals and at panel while
pump is running. If low, see wiring instructions or
consult power company.
Check for loose connections.
Check line voltage; if less than 90% or more than
110% of rated voltage consult a licensed electrician.
Increase ventilation.
Reduce ambient temperature.
Tighten any loose wiring connections.
Motor internal terminal overload protector is open.
Motor runs too hot. Turn power to motor off.
Check for proper voltage.
Check for proper impeller or impeller rubbing.
If suction and discharge piping are not adequately
supported, pump assembly will be strained. Do not
mount pump on a wooden platform! Securely mount
on concrete platform for quietest performance.
Disassemble pump, clean impeller, follow pump
service instructions for reassembly.
Improve suction conditions.
Increase pipe size.
Decrease number of fittings.
Increase discharge pressure.
1. Be sure that the communication cable is
connected at both ends.
2. Check that the pump local address matches with
the address used in the IntelliTouch control system.
3. Check that the pump has been assigned a circuit
name on the IntelliTouch control system.
4. Ensure that the pump display says
“DISPLAY NOT ACTIVE”.
A defective device on the network can inhibit the
proper operation of other network device. Devices
should be disconnected sequentially until the
network starts working.
