Watts:
To calculate a system’s “Continuous Watts” use the following formula:
Amps X Volts X Power Factor = Continuous Watts
- 1 HP E+ WhisperFlo = 7.4 amps X (230 Volt) X .90 PF = 1532 watts
- 1 HP Max – E – Pro = 8.0 amps X (230 Volt) X .87 PF = 1600 watts
Once watts are computed, convert watts to kilowatts (kilo is 1000) and multiply this number by kilowatt/hour cost.
- 1 watt = .01 Kilowatt
- 100 watts = .1 Kilowatt
- 1000 watts = 1 Kilowatt
- 1 HP E+ WhisperFlo 1532 watts or 1.532 Kilowatt x $.08 = $.122 per hour
- 1 HP Max-E-Pro 1600 watts or 1.600 Kilowatt x $.08 = $.128 per hour
The IntelliFlo does not require calculation for continuous watts since it is displayed on the screen in all modes. Just
simply take the watts published on the screen, convert to kilowatts, and multiply by the kilowatt hour. The formula is:
210 watts = .210 kilowatt X $.08 = $.016 per hour
Remember to also consider the amount of water moved for the cost incurred (Water to Wire Efficiency). The IntelliFlo
cannot be matched in today’s industry for flow versus continuous watts at any speed by any other pump in pool. The
Filter mode and flow control further assists in cost saving by always allowing the pump to do the least amount of work
at all times.
Pressure Status 0%:
Displays the current filter status in percentage value. The higher the percent value the nearer the filter will require a
backwash and rinse cycle. See “”Backwash Mode”” on page 61 for more information.
Communication Status:
Displays the IntelliFlo operating status
