IntelliFlo Installation and User’s Guide
Electrical Cost Overview
To calculate a system’s “Continuous Watts” use the following formula:
Amps X Volts X Power Factor = Continuous Watts
Examples:
• 1 HP E+ WhisperFlo = 7.4 amps X (230 Volt) X .90 PF = 1532 watts
• 1 HP Max – E – Pro = 8.0 amps X (230 Volt) X .87 PF = 1600 watts
Once watts are computed, convert watts to kilowatts (kilo is 1000) and multiply this
number by kilowatt/hour cost.
1 watt = .01 Kilowatt
100 watts = .1 Kilowatt
1000 watts = 1 Kilowatt
1 HP E+ WhisperFlo 1532 watts or 1.532 Kilowatt x $.08 = $.122 per hour
1 HP Max-E-Pro 1600 watts or 1.600 Kilowatt x $.08 = $.128 per hour
The IntelliFlo does not require calculation for continuous watts since it is displayed on the screen in all
modes. Just simply take the watts published on the screen, convert to kilowatts, and multiply by the kilowatt
hour. The formula is:
210 watts = .210 kilowatt X $.08 = $.016 per hour
Remember to also consider the amount of water moved for the cost incurred (Water to Wire Efficiency).
The IntelliFlo cannot be matched in today’s industry for flow versus continuous watts at any speed by any
other pump in pool. The Filter mode and flow control further assists in cost saving by always allowing the
pump to do the least amount of work at all times.
General Warnings
• Never go inside the drive enclosure. There is a capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even
when there is no power to the unit.
• IntelliFlo is not submersible
• The pump is capable of 160 GPM or 104 feet of head; use caution when installing and programming
to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment
• Code requirements for the electrical connection differ from state to state. Install equipment in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
• There is no pressure limit in “Features” flow control
• Manual mode shuts off all sensors including Suction Blockage; use only in emergency or when
metering a system.
• The unit needs constant power it is built to turn itself on / off
• Always stop the unit before performing maintenance
