IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS Installation and User’s Guide

Electrical Cost Overview

To calculate a system’s “Continuous Watts” use the following formula:

Amps X Volts X Power Factor = Continuous Watts

Examples:

1 HP E+ WhisperFlo = 7.4 amps X (230 Volt) X .90 PF = 1532 watts

1 HP Max – E – Pro = 8.0 amps  X (230 Volt) X .87 PF = 1600 watts

Once watts are computed, convert watts to kilowatts (kilo is 1000) and multiply this number by kilowatt/
hour cost.

1 watt = .01 Kilowatt
100 watts = .1 Kilowatt
1000 watts = 1 Kilowatt
1 HP E+ WhisperFlo 1532 watts or 1.532 Kilowatt x $.08 = $.122 per hour
1 HP Max-E-Pro 1600 watts or 1.600 Kilowatt x $.08 = $.128 per hour

The IntelliFlo VS does not require calculation for continuous watts since it is displayed on the screen in all
modes. Just simply take the watts published on the screen, convert to kilowatts, and multiply by the kilowatt
hour. The formula is:

210 watts = .210 kilowatt X $.08 = $.016 per hour

Remember to also consider the amount of water moved for the cost incurred (Water to Wire Efficiency).
The IntelliFlo VS cannot be matched in today’s industry for flow versus continuous watts at any speed by
any other pump in pool. The Filter mode and flow control further assists in cost saving by always allowing
the pump to do the least amount of work at all times.

General Warnings

Never go inside the drive enclosure.  There is a capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even
when there is no power to the unit.

IntelliFlo VS is not submersible

The 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.

There is no pressure limit in “Features” flow control

The unit needs constant power it is built to turn itself on / off

Always stop the unit before performing maintenance

 SVRS Blockage:

             WARNING ! When the pump is in PRIMING MODE, the SVRS feature is DISABLED.
