The IntelliFlo SVRS pump is capable of 174 GPM or 104 feet of head; use caution when installing
and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment.
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.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia
in hot tubs and spas.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible
to the occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and
within sight of, the unit.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes
