The Eco Select brand identifies the “greenest” and most efficient equipment choices. These products save energy, conserve water, eliminate noise, or otherwise contribute to a more environmentally responsible equipment system.
The Costly Drawbacks of Traditional Pumps
Traditional pool pumps have offered a limited number of single-speed and two-speed designs. Their motor speeds are set and unchangeable. These set speeds are almost always higher than required, thereby overpowering the jobs they are assigned to do, which wastes energy. What’s more, these pumps rely on induction motors that are notorious energy hogs. In fact, even so-called “energy efficient” pumps can cost more to operate than almost all other home appliances combined. Pump-related electric costs typically total hundreds of dollars per year—and often more than $1,000 in areas with the highest energy rates.
IntelliFlo and IntelliPro VS+SVRS and VS-3050 features an exclusive blend of technology innovations that enables you to slash pump-related utility costs by up to 90%, saving hundreds of dollars each year… and thousands over the entire life of this revolutionary pump.
Exclusive, advanced motor technology.
IntelliFlo and IntelliPro pumps are the first to use exclusive permanent magnet motor technology (used in hybrid cars), a fundamentally more energy-efficient design compared to traditional induction motors.
The quietest pumps on the planet.
Thanks to the permanent magnet motor, totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) design, and the fact that they run at a lower speed, IntelliFlo and Intellipro are also the quietest pumps ever built. At typical speeds you can barely hear the pump.
Pentair/StaRite VS-SVRS Pump
The IntelliFlo and IntelliPro® VS+SVRS variable speed pumps are the revolutionary way to reduce energy costs and provide the safest possible pool environment. This “intelligent” pump can cut the pool portion of utility bills up to 90%, saving you hundreds of dollars per year and thousands over its life. On the safety front, these pumps features a built-in Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) that senses drain blockage and automatically shuts the pump off to provide an important layer of protection against entrapment.
Onboard intelligence with variable drive.
IntelliFlo and IntelliPro pumps also include a variable speed capability, along with digital controls and proprietary software that allow custom programming of optimum pump speeds for specific tasks—filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets, waterfalls, etc. There are eight individual, adjustable speed settings at your command. For virtually all applications, the optimum speed will be lower than the preset, unchangeable speed of older pumps. You exploit a fundamental pump law— slow down the pump and power consumption is reduced. A good analogy is your car: you get much better mileage at 30 mph than 90 mph.
Pentair/StaRite VS-3050 PUMP
Programming IntelliFlo and IntelliPro VS-3050 is as easy as setting the stations on your car radio. With the pump running, simply press one of the four speed buttons to switch to the desired speed (factory settings are 750, 1500, 2350 and 3110 RPM). Then, just press the “up” or “down” button to increase or decrease the speed setting between 400 RPMs and 3450 RPMs. It’s that simple to optimize water flow for any application. Of course, your pool professional can make a simple calculation to determine the perfect speed settings. And remember, as you change or add equipment and features, speed settings can be quickly adjusted to ensure the lowest amount of energy is consumed..
As your poolscape changes, so will IntelliFlo and IntelliPro: With IntelliFlo and IntelliPro you can add equipment and features, or change them, without reducing pump performance and efficiency. Add a solar system or water feature or change your filter. Just push a button to set the new, optimum speed to operate at the lowest energy use. Your savings are maintained even as your pool system changes.
Unique ability to manage water features: Finally, consider IntelliFlo’s and IntelliPro’s unique ability to alter the performance of your water features. Want to add height to deck jets or fountains? Want to increase the water flow to waterfalls or a vanishing edge? Just increase or decrease pump speed with the touch of a button to adjust on demand. You manage the sights and sounds of your backyard retreat while driving energy costs down to new lows.
