Pentair IntelliFlo VF Pool Pumps
Pentair Intelliflo® VF Variable Flow In-ground Swimming Pool Pumps - Now there's truly one pump for every residential in-ground pool application and it's Energy Efficient!
GO GREEN & SAVE THE GREEN TOO!
Pentair IntelliFlo® VF variable flow pool pumps are sensationally energy efficient! Intelliflo VF pumps are totally automatic, self-setting and self-adjusting, variable speed pool pump marvel with a micro-processor that determines and maintains the lowest amount of water flow for maximum performance and minimum energy use.
Intelliflo VF pool pumps are also the first pool pump to use vastly more efficient permanent magnet motor technology, which is also used in hybrid cars. Traditional swimming pool pumps have offered a limited number of single-speed or two-speed designs. Their motor speeds are set and unchangeable. These set speeds are almost always higher than required, thereby overpowering the water flow tasks they are assigned to do and wasting energy, and your money. What’s more, other pool 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” pool pumps. Most standard single speed pool pumps have be classified as a high electrical energy consumer, second only to residential air conditioners.
IntelliFlo VF inground pool pump is the first pump to deliver the exact amount of water flow needed to perform a variety of water delivery tasks. It is adaptable to any swimming pool, spa or water feature application. With Intelliflo's onboard computer, you simply program the rate of any flow to suit the application, up to 130 gallons per minute. It can be programmed to manage multiple functions. And, it automatically sets itself and adjusts as needed since it is constantly monitoring water flow and electrical current, insuring that your systems are operating at peak efficiency.
Intelliflo pumps also protects against loss of prime or water flow, high and low voltage situations, thermal load protection and freezing. With Pentair's IntelliFlo energy saving pool pumps there’s no need for pump curves and hydraulic calculations to determine the right pump for the job. Just set the program for your pool size and desired turnover, and IntelliFlo does the rest.
IntelliFlo pumps have permanent magnet motors that produce far less heat and vibration than traditional induction motors, resulting in not only less stress and wear on pump components, but on other equipment, too. Expect dramatically longer life for greater return on investment.In short, virtually everything works more effectively, with less wear and tear, when IntelliFlo is on the job. The energy savings are massive. Operating noise is virtually eliminated. Service life is dramatically increased. Filters and sanitizers work better. Your water features are adjustable. These are the many reasons why IntelliFlo pool pumps are, without question, the single most valuable technology innovation in swimming pool equipment history.
A Pentair ECO Select Energy Saving Pool Pump: Standard inground pool pumps can consume as much energy as all other home appliances combined—often costing more than $1,000 per year! IntelliFlo® VF High Performance Pool Pumps can typically cut energy use by 30% to 90%!
Since the cost to operate your pool pump isn’t itemized on your electric bill, you’re probably wondering just how much an IntelliFlo could save. Here are realistic estimates when comparing a traditional energy efficient (EE), single-speed pump to IntelliFlo in a 20,000 gallon pool. Savings are calculated using 6 and 12 hours of operation, which represent common run times.
-
At $0.15/kwh estimated savings range from $621 to $1,356 per year.
-
At $0.20/kwh estimated savings range from $827 to $1,808 per year.
-
At $0.30/kwh estimated savings range from $1,241 to $2,712 per year.
As you can see, the savings with IntelliFlo VF pool pumps can be stunning and the return on investment almost immediate. Pool owners can save thousands of dollars over the life of a new IntelliFlo pump. Plus, you can expect dramatically longer service than with older, less efficient designs.
A note about utility rates:
Posted rates and effective rates are not the same thing. Your base posted electricity rate may be 10¢ per kilowatt hour (kWh) or less. So why are we starting our calculations at 15¢ per kWh? We’ve taken into account the many additional factors that make your effective rate higher:
-
The stated rate is only for electricity used. It does not include user fees and taxes that vary by state and provider.
-
In some states, rates increase substantially as a consumer uses additional electricity beyond a set baseline.
-
Many providers assess a surcharge per kWh during the summer, because demand for electricity is higher.

Using slower speeds and flow takes advantage of a fundamental pump law: slower is far more efficient. In fact, when pump flow speeds are reduced by half, energy consumption drops to one-eighth of what was previously used. The result is additional savings… up to 90% compared to even so-called high-efficiency single speed, two-speed and multi-speed pumps. These combined innovations result in a pump that is typically operating at an average of just 1/10th of a horsepower, using approximately 100 watts of energy… about the same as an ordinary 100 watt light bulb, compared to 2600 watt average consumpion for most single speed pool pumps. Simply expressed; It is like operating one 100 watt light bulb compared to twenty-six 100 watt light bulbs! While that’s impressive, wait until you see the savings potential.
