The IntelliCenter™ Control System will not run lower than 15 GPM. The lower you can establish this flow rate the better the energy savings. Maximum Flow (GPM): The pump’s maximum flow rate can be set from 15-134 GPM. This is generally the flow rate required for backwashing the pool filter.
Secondly, how long should I run my Pentair IntelliFlo pump?
Just so, how do I convert my pool pump from RPM to GPM?
For example, if the required motor speed is 900 rpm and the nominal speed is 1,000 rpm, the answer is 0.9. Multiply your answer by the nominal flow rate for the pump to give the converted flow rate. For example, if your answer is 0.9 and the nominal flow rate is 4,200 GPM, the converted flow rate is 3,780 GPM.
How do I program my Pentair Intelliflo VSF?
What is RPM in pool pump?
Most pool pump motors operate at 240 volts and generate 3,450 rpm when running at full speed (based on standard U.S. electricity, which is 60hz). A variable-speed pump motor offers an operating range of 172 rpm to 3,450 rpm.
How do you use Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump?
How many rpms should I run my pool pump?
Suction cleaners typically run at around 2200-2400 RPM. Heaters require 20 to 40 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) so might run at around half speed or a little higher. You would probably want to run your Spa at up to full speed, 3450, for maximum effect.
What size pump do I need for a 15000 gallon pool?
A 15,000-gallon pool needs about 20 GPM output if we want to run it 24 hours per day. Most people run their pool on an 8-hour on/16-hour off (stagnant) cycle.
What is RPM and GPM?
Most gallon per minute (GPM) to revolutions per minute (RPM) conversions relate to pumps. For example, if you’re designing a pump to recirculate a spa, you need to know the speed at which the pump must run, given the size of the pump’s cylinder.
How do I know what GPM my pool pump is?
Most pool pump specifications are expressed in gallons per minute (GPM). So, to convert from GPH to GPM, divide your GPH by 60 minutes – 2531 GPH / 60 = 42.2 GPM.
How do you calculate gpm for a variable speed pool pump?
How much power does a Pentair pool pump use?
IntelliFlo operates at an average of just 1/6th of a horsepower, using about 200 watts of energy. Exclusive, variable speed capability builds potential savings up to 85%.
What RPM is IntelliFlo?
As part of the Eco Select brand, the IntelliFlo i1 pump is an eco-friendly, energy-saving equipment choice from Pentair. NOTE: The chart above demonstrates performance rates at factory preset speeds of 750 RPM, 1560 RPM, 2350 RPM and 3110 RPM.
What size pump do I need for a 30000 gallon pool?
So, for a 30,000-gallon pool that runs continuously (24-hours), the formula is: 30,000 x 2 ÷ 24 ÷ 60 = 41.6 or rounded up it’s a 42 GPM minimum flow rate. To establish the max flow rate needed for your swimming pool, I like to go by filter surface area.
What RPM should I run my Pentair pool pump?
Generally, I run my equipment at 1700 RPMs for 10 hours. I run this with the saltwater generator set at 50% for 10 hours. In my case, 1700 RPM’s is the minimum I can do to reliably activate the saltwater generator and filter the pool.
