The value entered for the “Clean Filter Pressure” sets how far above “starting
pressure” the internal pressure of the fi lter must climb before the IntelliFlo
displays a “Service System Soon” alert. The “starting pressure” is the
fi lter pressure reading at the completion of the last backwashing. Cartridge
fi lters must also be “backwashed” to a clean state to establish this “starting
pressure.”
When the IntelliFlo is running in Filter mode, the LCD will display the fi lter’s
cleanliness status (“% Filter Status OK” screen) as a percent of the pressure
of a dirty fi lter as defi ned above. Once this pressure is reached, the IntelliFlo
will display the “Service System Soon” message which notifi es the operator
that the fi lter required cleaning. When this alert is active, the IntelliFlo will
decrease speed to maintain a constant discharge pressure. The pump fl ow
will then necessarily decrease also until the fi lter is cleaned. For more
information, refer to “Clean Filter Pressure Example” on page
30 .
b) To set the number of Turnovers Per Day:
Use the Up and Down arrow
buttons to fi nd the “Turnovers Per Day” setting. Press the Select button to
select it. To change the setting, see step 4 below.
You can set up to eight turns per day (Default 1). It is recommended that one
turn per day for energy conservation and requirements be performed for most
common residential pools. Refer to sanitizer recommendation for additional
information.
c) To set the number of Cycles Per Day:
Use the Up and Down arrow
buttons to fi nd the “Cycles Per Day” setting. Press the Select button to select
it. To change the setting, see step 4 below.
IntelliFlo uses the Cycles Per Day parameter to calculate how much time it
has to complete its fi lter job. You can program up to four (4) start and stop
cycles per day (Default 1). See
“d) To set the Start and Stop times of Cycles
1 through 4”
on the folllowing page. The more time the IntelliFlo is given to
operate, the less power and fl ow will be needed for turning over the pool.
Note: Consumers in certain areas are charged lower energy rates at non-
peak hours. To take advantage of this, the IntelliFlo can be programmed to
run at any time of the day. The extremely quiet operation of the IntelliFlo
makes it feasible to operate during early morning or late at night. The
easiest and best way to optimize fl ow during fi lter cycles is by adding
or subtracting cycle time. This way, the desired fl ow effect, for example,
skimming action, can be achieved while maintaining the desired water
turnover rate.
