IntelliFlo® is without question
the new standard in swimming pool pumps. Onboard
intelligence, breakthrough motor technology, and
superior design combine to:
• Reduce energy consumption by
90% and save hundreds per year.
• Reduce operating noise by 90%
• Deliver the longest service life of any pump in
its class.
IntelliFlo monitors and controls
its operation and senses and adjusts to changing
demands and pool conditions. The result is a number
of breakthroughs in swimming pool pump performance
and operating efficiency.
IntelliFlo® is the first swimming pool pump ever to
deliver the exact amount of water needed to perform
different tasks: filtration, vacuuming, backwashing
and rinsing, operation of spas and water features.
It delivers the exact power needed to get the job
done by varying its motor’s speed.
Plus, IntelliFlo® is the first to use a PMSM
(permanent magnet synchronous motor), which is 45%
to 75% more efficient than conventional induction
motor technology. In fact, IntelliFlo® typically
operates with about 100 watts of power…the amount
needed to power a light bulb. For comparative
purposes, in most parts of the country, the
difference is a cost of just 3¢ per hour versus 28¢
for older swimming pool pump designs. That is a 90%
reduction!!
Operating at half a whisper
To say IntelliFlo® is quieter than any other
swimming pool pump is a massive understatement.
Consider this. Humans hear noises measured at about
3 decibels. A whisper is about 20 decibels. A
library about 50 decibels. A typical swimming pool
pump about 70–80 decibels. What about IntelliFlo®?
Only 7–10 decibels…or half the sound of a whisper.
In other words, you can barely hear it operate, even
when sitting right next to it.
A breakthrough in longevity
With mechanical equipment, the less it works the
longer it lasts. And thanks to its onboard controls
and high-tech variable speed motor, IntelliFlo®
never works harder or longer than it has to. This
drives super energy efficiency and super long life.
IntelliFlo® also features a totally enclosed design
that protects its inner workings better than
traditional designs. Plus, thanks to onboard
intelligence this swimming pool pump protects itself
in several other ways.
~ Senses loss of prime
condition—the number one reason for pump failure—and
shuts itself down if prime not detected within 30
seconds.
~ Senses overheating and freezing conditions and
automatically takes corrective action to prevent
damage—a major problem in states with extreme
climates.
~ Senses and adjusts to common voltage
irregularities…taking out the surges that overwork
your motor a nd
rob you of energy efficiency
~ Senses any blockages and automatically shuts down
to prevent damage from foreign objects.
No matter how you look at it, IntelliFlo® is a
tremendous technology leap for the pool industry. In
fact, with energy prices constantly on the rise,
many pool owners are replacing existing pumps with
IntelliFlo®. They want to start realizing the energy
savings, silent running, and service life advantages
this remarkable advancement offers today. Ask your
pool professional about IntelliFlo®, the swimming
pool pump that changes all the rules…in your favor!
IntelliFlo® combines the best of the best in latest
technology. It features a totally enclosed
fan-cooled (TEFC) motor with permanent magnet
synchronous (PMSM) design.This motor generates a 99%
power factor compared to just 70% for traditional
designs. And that translates directly into
dramatically greater operating ef~ciency. Combined
with an integral programmable logic controller (PLC)
to regulate work requirements per task, IntelliFlo®
is typically operating at an average of just 1‡10th
of a horsepower, using about 100 watts…the amount
used by a light bulb. And that, of course,
translates into dramatically reduced energy usage
and incredibly long life.
IntelliFlo® 4 x 160
Until now, all swimming pool pumps have operated at
just one or two speeds, typically near the top of
their range... and used more energy than needed for
most jobs. Besides higher utility costs, operating
at high, set speeds also limits the life of critical
wear parts. Now, there's a dramatically superior
choice.
The Inside Story
The IntelliFlo® 4x160 with programmable, variable
speed technology saves energy and money while
enabling critical parts to last years longer. The
IntelliFlo® 4 x I60 starts with a more
energy-efficient, best-in-class swimming pool pump
and adds world class digital controls that allow
programming of four different speeds for different
jobs. Each setting can range from 400 to 3450 RPMs.
Your pool professional will help you set the proper
speed for your filtration cycle. Plus, as you
replace or add new equipment, each setting can be
changed in seconds, as needed, to make sure you
always use the least amount of energy possible.
Typical energy savings of 30% total hundreds per
year Now, your swimming pool pump works only as hard
as it needs to-without costing a penny more than
necessary. Utility savings of 30% are typical and
can total hundreds of dollars per year, even
compared with today's most energy-efficient swimming
pool pumps.
Customize and change your water features
Aso consider that now you can change the height of a
fountain or the flow of a waterfall to vary the
sights and sounds around your poolscape environment.
Dial up or dial down the water flow and multiply the
effects of your water features.
Increase your service life expectations
Finally, consider that operating at more precise
speeds translates into dramatically longer pump
service life. Critical parts just don't wear as
quickly when your swimming pool pump works as little
as possible to complete various tasks.
