IntelliFlo VS-3050 Installation and User’s Guide

General Installation Information

WARNING — Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other than for which
the pump was intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks
may include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction entrapment
or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or
other system component.
WARNING — The pump can produce high levels of suction within the suction side of the
plumbing system. These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes
within the close proximity of the suction openings. A person can be seriously
injured by this high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is
absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance with the
latest national and local codes for swimming pools.

• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore some

instructions may not apply to a specific model. All models are intended for use in swimming

pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific

application and properly installed.
