IntelliFlo VF 3050 pump setup

Backwash parameters

When the pump detects that the filter differential pressure (10 PSI difference) has increased and is now at the
"Clean Filter" pressure, IntelliTouch displays an alert message. This means that the filter must be cleaned
(backwashed) to reduce the pressure. To do this, the pump must be stopped and the IntelliTouch outdoor
control panel must be in "Service" mode (press the Auto button and select "Service" mode. To start the
backwash flow operation, press the Start/Stop button on IntelliFlo, then press the Backwash button. The pump
will run the preset cycle time and preset flow GPM). The flow will be adjustable to accommodate the specific
filter backwash flow requirement. After the backwash cycle is finished, the "Rinse" cycle with the preset
duration time will be executed. After these cycles have been completed or if the Start/Stop button is pressed to
stop the process, the filter status will be recalculated and the zero-pressure measured when Filter mode is
operated again.
When using cartridge filters the backwash cycle must be performed when cleaning or replacing filters. This helps
the IntelliFlo reset its zero head pressure level. If you are charging a DE system, charge the system first during a
normal running cycle. After the filter is charged, run the pump in backwash mode with the filter valve in the filter
position to reset the % clean filter status. Then run the pump in filter mode.
Note: IntelliFlo will ramp up to full speed if necessary to achieve the commanded flow. Be sure that the
system can withstand the resultant pressures.
