Configure IntelliFlo (Step 4 of 5) - Continued

Filtering dialog

Pool filtering schedules (start/stop times) are only used for filtering. The pump only allows four such events to exist. These schedules for the circuit (pool) are then transferred to the pump, and used to calculate the energy saving / minimum speed function of the IntelliFlo for the basic filter mode. See page 50 for details. IntelliFlo will calculate the required flow rate based on your pool size, clean filter pressure, pool turns per day and cycles per day, and will control the motor speed to keep a constant flow. IntelliFlo is constantly monitoring the filter when it detects that the system is dirty, an alert message is displayed. For more information about alert messages for IntelliFlo and IntelliFlo 4x160 pump, see “Equipment IntelliFlo Screen” on page 79. You must then clean the filter by performing a Backwash cycle (see page 52).

Description

Filter Parameters

Pool filtering schedules (start/stop times) are only used for filtering.

 

The pump only allows four such events to exist. These schedules

 

for the circuit (pool) are then transfered to the pump, and used to

 

calculate the energy saving / minimum speed function of the

 

IntelliFlo for the basic filter mode.

Size

The pool "size" or “pool volume” value is expressed as 1000’s of

 

gallons (Kgal). Enter from 1 to 1000 Kgal for the pool size. The

 

size number can be a close estimate, although the more accurate

 

the better the turns will be done when in filter mode. Filter mode

 

uses this value to sustain turn rates, flows, and times.

Turn-Overs

1-8 turnovers - You can set up to up to eight turns per day. It is

 

recommended to set one turn per day for energy conservation for

 

most common residential pools. Also, refer to your sanitizer

 

recommendation for additional information.

Manual Filter

15- 130 (Default 30 GPM) - Manual Filter sets the flow at which the

 

pump will run if it is turned on manually. The IntelliFlo pump will only run

 

in the 'Filter' mode during the programmed times. For example, if the

 

pump is programmed (start/stop times) for the pool circuit to run from

 

8:00 AM to 4:00 PM everyday. This program or programs are used by

 

IntelliFlo to calculate at what speed it must run given those ‘ON’ times to

 

achieve the turnover(s) for that sized pool for the basic filter mode.
