It’s been said an Intelliflo pump is the most intelligent pool pump available on the market today. This pump offers significant energy savings in its day to day operation by using technology. This pool pump houses a computer which is able to continually monitor all the tasks running in the pool automatically and make adjustments as necessary.

To say the IntelliFlo® pump is a radically different—and superior—pool pump is a massive understatement. Here’s why.

Traditional pool pumps have offered a limited number of singlespeed or two-speed designs. Their motor speeds are set and unchangeable. These set speeds are almost always higher than required, thereby overpowering the jobs they are assigned to do and wasting energy. What’s more, other pumps rely on induction motor technology, which is far less efficient. The result is that pumps are notorious energy hogs that cost hundreds—often more than $1,000—per year to operate. In fact, in some areas of the country, laws are being passed to prevent future purchases of these “old school” pumps. The IntelliFlo® VF pump, by contrast, is sensationally energy efficient. It is the totally automatic, self-setting and self-adjusting, variable speed marvel with a micro-processor that determines and maintains the lowest amount of water flow for maximum performance and minimum energy use. It’s also the first to use vastly more efficient permanent magnet motor technology (used in hybrid cars).

IntelliFlo brought variable speed technology to market— a full 5 years ahead of every other manufacturer. But the leader never stands still. So Pentair has taken full advantage of our head start to perfect these IntelliFlo firsts:

• Ultra-efficient permanent magnet motors, as used in advanced hybrid cars.
• Precise matching of motor speed to your pool’s needs.
• Totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor design for long life and quiet operation.
• Built-in diagnostics protect the pump for longer service life.

And today, IntelliFlo pumps still lead the way with all these advantages:

• Permanent magnet motor design for greater efficiency. 
• More total energy savings than any other pool pump family in history.
• Integrated keypad—no need to purchase separately at additional cost.
• Over 5 years of proven in-field reliability.
• Exclusive software and digital controls make programming a cinch.
• Easy installation for inground pools and pool/spa combos of all types and sizes, new or aftermarket.
• Full compatibility with IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch®, SunTouch® or other brands of digital pool/spa controls for managing pump, heating, lighting, spa jets, water features, and more... from practically anywhere, anytime2

The result is dramatically lower electricity expense—typically saving hundreds per year. It’s not uncommon for savings to total more than $1,000 per year—and savings of more than $2,000 per year have been recorded. Over the multi-year life of IntelliFlo, the savings can be measured in the thousands. And yet, these tremendous savings are only part of the IntelliFlo story.
