Name	Description
System Max Time	0-5 min. (Default 0 min.) - The average pump will prime in a short
	period of time because the pump has the ability to monitor itself to
	make sure it is primed. “System Max Time” is for systems that
	require high flows that priming flow can provide but it is deemed
	that more time is needed to fully relieve all the air. The builder can
	program a pre determined amount of time, up to 5 minutes, to aid
	in relieving the air from difficult filters or complex vertical plumbing.
	The “System Max Time” should only be used where large air traps
	become problems within the system. The display will inform the
	user when this is engaged and when it is finished during the
	priming cycle at each start up cycle.
Backwash Parameters	When the pump detects that the filter differential pressure (10 PSI
	difference) has increased and is now at the “Clean Filter” pressure,
	IntelliTouch displays an alert message that indicates that the filter
	must be cleaned (backwashed) to reduce the pressure. A "Filter
	Status" bar on the "Equipment" screen indicates the current status
	of the filter. See page 79 for details. To backwash the filter, you
	need to stop IntelliFlo, place IntelliTouch in “Service” mode, press
	the Start/Stop button on IntelliFlo, then press the Backwash button
	to start the backwash flow process. IntelliFlo will run the preset
	cycle time and preset flow GPM). After the backwash cycle is
	finished, the “Rinse” cycle with the preset duration time will be
	executed. After these cycles have been completed or if the
	Start/Stop button is pressed to stop the process, the filter status
	will be recalculated and the zero-pressure measured when Filter
	mode is operated again. When using cartridge filters the backwash
	cycle must be performed when cleaning or replacing filters. This helps
	the IntelliFlo reset its zero head pressure level. If you are charging a DE
	system, charge the system first during a normal running cycle. After the
	filter is charged, run the pump in backwash mode with the filter valve in
	the filter position to reset the % clean filter status. Then run the pump in
	filter mode.
Clean Filter Pressure	1-50 PSI (Default is 14 PSI) - The average PSI setting is between
	10 PSI and 20 PSI for most pools and filters. The PSI changes can
	come from anywhere in the system, for example clogged skimmers
	or pots in pumps. Setting this parameter at a lower level will cause
	the alert message to come up sooner and you will have to clean
	your filter (cartridge) or backwash your filter (sand or DE) sooner.
Backwash Flow	15-130 PSI (Default 60 PSI)
Backwash Time	1-60 minutes (Default 5 minutes)
Rinse Time	1-60 minutes (Default 1 minute)
