Name	Description
Vacuum Parameters	Use the Vacuum mode to clean the pool manually. To operate the
	pump in Vacuum mode, place the IntelliTouch outdoor control panel
	in “Service Mode,” and stop the IntelliFlo pump. The pool service
	person can then press the Vacuum button on the IntelliFlo pump.
	The pump would operate at the preset Vacuum parameters, then
	the blockage alert parameter would be cleared and the pump will
	stop. Vacuum mode only operates in flow control mode. Operating
	in Vacuum mode shuts off all of the pumps sensors. This mode is
	identical to IntelliFlo “Feature 1 and 2” except that you can
	manually start this mode using the Vacuum button. Safety
	considerations should be made when setting the Vacuum flow
	parameter.
Flow	Vacuum flow rate is from 15-130 GPM (Default 50 GPM)
Time	1-600 minutes (10 hours) - (Default 10 minutes) - This parameter
	can be set from 1 to 600 minutes. The typical setting is 10 minutes.
	This setting sets the amount of time you wish to run the pool
	vacuum.
Priming Parameters	To “prime” a pump means filling the pump and suction pipe with
	water. This process evacuates the air from all the suction lines and
	the pump. It may take several minutes to prime depending on the
	depth of water, pipe size and length. It is easier to prime a pump if
	you allow all the air to escape from the pump and pipes. The water
	cannot enter unless the air can escape. Pumps do not hold prime,
	the pool piping system has that task. Priming is a function used
	every time the motor is started with a flow as reference. The
	“Priming Flow” function ensures the proper operation of the pump.
	The “System Priming Time” function ensures proper operation of
	the whole pool system. When the pump is priming, the control
	panel LCD displays “Priming” and then for a moment displays
	“Primed” when priming is complete.
Max Prime Flow	15-130 GPM (Default 55 GPM) - Every time the pump starts this
	parameter will negotiate the maximum flow of the pump. If the flow
	is too high, equipment damage can occur. If the flow is to low the
	pump will not prime. This “flow” is system dependent and may
	require iteration. The pump will never flow more than this
	parameter is set to, however, it is common for the pump to ramp up
	and down quickly while priming. Always try to keep this flow as low
	as possible for cost savings and safety.
Max Prime Time	1-15 Min. (Default 15 min.) - Use this parameter to set the time
	that you want IntelliFlo try and prime before it reports an error.
	Remember that the IntelliFlo will attain prime every time it starts
	and goes through this cycle. The IntelliFlo mechanical seal can
	withstand about 15 minutes before severe damage occurs. The
	lower the time the quicker you will get a priming error if the system
	is difficult to prime. A well plumbed pool without having the strainer
	removed should prime in less than 30 seconds. If the strainer has
	been removed for cleaning and a substantial amount of air is in the
	system it should prime in about 60 to 90 seconds on the average,
	however, all systems will be different.
