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.
