To say the IntelliFlo vF 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 single - speed ortwo-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. IntelliRo vF, 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). An exclusive blend of technology innovations are behind the monumental energy savings possible with IntelliFlo. As the first to use super -efficient permanent magnet motors, IntelliFlo typically reduces energy use by 30% compared to pumps with traditional induction motors. IntelliFlo also employs variable drive technology controlled by an onboard computer and sophisticated software to allow pinpoint programming, or totally automatic operation, to achieve and maintain optimum (typically lower) flow rates for further energy savings. IntelliFlo operates at an average of just I/IOth of horsepower, using about 100 watts of energy ... about the same as a light bulb. Exclusive, variable speed capability builds potential savings up to 90%. The result is dramatically lower electricity expense—typically saving hundreds per year. Its 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. The surprising secret to minimizing pump energy costs is to operate at the lowest flow rate needed to accomplish a job. it takes far less energy to move water slowly than quickly Why? Because there's lower resistance in the filter, accessories and plumbing system. Even though a pump will work longer at a' lower flow rate, this is far more efficient In fact, reducing pump motor speed by half actually reduces the power needed to one- eighth of what's consumed at the higher speed. A good analogy is your car: you get much better gas mileage at 30 mph than at 90 mph. The same is true with pool pumpsunslower for efficiency (and many other good reasons, too).
