How is this incredible performance possible? The IntelliPro is the first pump to use a permanent magnet synchronous VS-3050 motor (PMSM). But the real secret is the IntelliPro’s four settable and adjustable speeds (from 400 to 3450 GPM). That’s how you optimize pump speed for the most efficient fl ow possible.
Warnings Before you begin programming, please read the important safety warnings below. • Never go inside the drive enclosure. The capacitor bank holds a 230 volt charge, even if there is no power to the unit. • Do not submerse the IntelliPro VS-3050 •...
Wiring The IntelliPro should be wired line side, i.e. directly to a 220V to 240V circuit VS-3050 breaker with a minimum 20 amp rating or other source of “line” voltage supply. IntelliPro is designed for 230V applications only. 115V circuits will not operate and could cause damage to the pump.
Priming the pump for the fi rst time or after service Important: Follow these steps before removing pump lid and priming Stand-Alone Set-Up (no controller or appliance communicating with IntelliPro The IntelliPro must be primed before starting for the first time. It may take several VS-3050 minutes depending on water depth, pipe size, and length.

Changing Pump Speeds Saving Adjusted Speed Resetting Speeds to Factory Default You can change these presets in 10 or 20 RPM increments. Each setting can be adjusted to run at speeds between 400 RPM and 3450 RPM. Typically the lower speeds are used for filtration and heating. The higher speeds can be used for spa jets, water features, and priming.
Obtaining the ideal fl ow for a given application is an audio-visual feedback process, and may Setting Speeds for require some trial and error. When you have eliminated cavitation, and water is fl owing Various Applications quietly and smoothly through the pump, you have arrived at the most efficient speed setting. Example: Setting Ideal Filtration Speed Press any Speed button 1 through 4.
