User questions & answers

Question:	Will this pump be sufficient for a 11,000 gallon pool which has a pv3 in-floor pool cleaning system? i currently have hayward sp3215ee tristar 1.5hp
Answer:	I use this pump for my 18000 gallon pool. It is sufficient for that with the heat pump and pool vacuum cleaner when I need to clean the pool. I think it should be fine
Question:	can i use this on a 30,000 gal pool
Answer:	Yes. I have a 32,000 gallon pool and it works great. I have had this pump for tree years now. I run it year round. I went through two Hayward single stage pumps and I highly recommend this. Monthly electric bills are lower using this pump. I have never run my pump at a full rpm. I run the pump at 2200 rpm for 6 hours, 2800 rpm for 3 hours, and off the rest of the time. I have had to issues running a Polaris 280 with it. I just replace it though with an electric pool cleaner.
Question:	How does this pump save me money? Why does it reduce the energy cost by up to 80%? Does it change speeds based on flow feedback
Answer:	The pump has a variety of speeds. It is programmable. When mine turns on, it is programmed at high speed for 30 minutes to clear the surface and get the water moving. My pool man programmed it for me to drop to 30% for the next 5 hours. That saves me $$. Now if I'm having people over to swim, i can hit a quick clean button to clear the surface again. The longer i can keep the pump running at less than full power the more money I save.
Question:	My 1hp pump went out and heard a variable speed pump is the way to go when replacing it. is it ok to go up to a 1.5 hp
Answer:	Variable speed pumps can be set to handle different flows to accommodate pipe size, I use this pump to replace a 1.5 HP pool filter pump (2" pipe)and a 1 HP spa jets pump (1-1/2" pipe). Just program the speed (RPM) to accommodate the use and the flow of the pipe sizes. By only running the pump at the design capacity of the plumbing, noise is reduces to a wiper and it actually uses about half the energy that the original pump uses (in my case 400 watts vs 800 for the spa, yours may be different). All the speed in both pumps are set lower than 3000 RPM. No issues vacuuming (cleaning) and the Jets are quite strong in the spa). If you can effort the extra cost variable speed pumps are more versatile and they don't destroy their self by running full speed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will a variable speed pump still operate my Great White pool cleaner
Answer:	The speed is set by you, so pressure and flow you determine with pump settings.
Question:	Is it eligible for return
Answer:	yes
Question:	what valve can i use for pentair intelliflo
Answer:	Any, but so limit flow rate reduction, I would use the jandy 2-2 1/2” valves
Question:	Hi, I have a 10.000 gallons pool, which pump and filter do you recommend to me? Thanks
Answer:	I have the earlier version of this pump on my 38,000 gallon pool and love it. It might be overkill for yours but my other pool has a very similar pump on it just not variable speed. My electric bill went down $100 per month after I installed this pump.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm having problem getting the lid off and suggestion? I would greatly appreciated
Answer:	Yes, the lid can be hard to get off of the pump. What I use to make it easier is "O-Ring Lube", available at pool supply stores. Apply a thin coating to all mating surfaces and the O-ring seal. One other item I use is a strainer basket in the pool surface strainer, it catches most the leaves, so cleaning the basket on the pump doesn't have to be that often. Hope it helps you.
Question:	How can I get an extended warranty beyond 1 year for this item? My last one didn't even last 2 years! Thanks
Answer:	I don’t think you can. It’s a factory warranty and if you install it I have read that the factory warranty isn’t honored when I read other customers responses. If it’s installed by a pool company it’s honored.
Question:	Does this work well with a sand filter
Answer:	It works great with a sand filter
Question:	How can I change it from 230 volts to
Answer:	inside the rear cover there is a diagrahm of how to hook up to 115 volt and another diagrahm on how to connect to 230 volt....

Product description

Traditional pumps operate at set, unchangeable speeds. Those speeds are almost always higher than required. As a result, they overpower the jobs they're assigned to do, which wastes energy. Intelliflo allows custom programming of optimum pump speeds for specific tasks such as filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets and waterfalls. for virtually all applications, the optimum speed is lower than the preset, unchangeable speeds of older pumps. When water moves more slowly for longer periods, it helps reduce the occurrence of algae that forms more easily when water is pumped briskly and then allowed to rest for long intervals. Your filter works more effectively because it has more time to sift out particles from the water, and because particles aren't forced through the Filter media under needlessly high pressure. Automatic chemical dispensers and chlorinators also work better when water is kept moving.

• Energy savings up to 90-percent vs. traditional pumps
• Dramatically quieter operation; Carton Wt: 45 pounds
• 8 programmable speed settings and built-in timer assure optimum speed and run times for maximum efficiency and savings
• Built in diagnostics protect the pump for longer service life
• Fully compatible with IntelliTouch, EasyTouch, SunTouch Pool Control Systems and other brands of digital pool/spa controls for managing pump, heating, lighting, spa jets and water features

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with 3hp 3.96 sfhp pentax’s variable speed intelligible pump
Answer:	any 5/8/" bore pads will fit his grinder, but to tell you the truth for tight spots on a car I would not recommend what you ask with 3" pads, you would be better off with an die grinder such as ingersol-rand 301B with a 1/4" 3MRoloc Adaptor with 3" Roloc Buffing pads, in tight spots always try to. avoid bulky tools."
Question:	Does this work with the pentair Dynamo
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Will it work with intelliflo vs+svrs
Answer:	Paint is slightly different to work with than a gel-coat surface. When polishing a car you want to use foam pads and this little video will explain how to get the right pad and polish for your paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19EXU_8CYdo I prefer to use 3m because the nozzle of the polish corresponds to the foam pad you should be using it with. Obviously for the deepest of scratches i would try and use the rubbing compound or wet sand as seen in this quick video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRlhp_J-Sos What ever i am working with i typically would fully compound and polish the car for full shine then access the scratches that may of not been remove while detailing.
Question:	what are the basket's dimensions
