IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS Installation and User’s Guide
Important Notice:
Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use
of this product. This information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.
Please refer to www.pentair.com for all warnings and instructions related to the IntelliFlo®VS+SVRS pump.
Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions
which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in
severe injury, death, or property damage. Call [phone] for additional free copies
of these instructions. It is absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in
accordance with the latest national and local codes for swimming pools.
These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore some
instructions may not apply to a specific model. All models are intended for use in
swimming pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized
to the specific application and properly installed.
This pump produces high levels of suction, which can pose extreme danger if a
person comes in close proximity to an open pool or spa drain or a loose or broken
drain cover or grate. The IntelliFlo VS+SVRS pump, when installed according to the
manufacturer's instructions, is designed to help prevent injuries caused by body
entrapment in pools. This pump does not, however, protect against limb
entrapments, disembowelments (when a person sits on a broken or uncovered pool
drain) or hair entanglements.
This pump is not a substitute for properly installed and secured pool drain covers.
An ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment drain cover must be used for
each drain. Pools and spas should utilize two drains per pump. If a drain cover
becomes loose, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately and shut off
the pump until an approved anti-entrapment drain cover is properly installed with the
manufacturer's supplied screws.
The SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) feature of this pump is inactive during
priming. The SVRS feature is an integral part of a complete safety system. During
priming mode, the pump does not monitor blocked suction or discharge system
conditions. Swimmers should not be allowed in the pool during the "inactive" SVRS
mode. When "SVRS" text is not displayed on the control panel screen, the SVRS
system is disabled.

IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS Installation and User’s Guide
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution:
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool
serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in
death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may
also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker and remove the
RS-485 communication cable from the pump before servicing the pump. Failure to
do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others
due to electric shock.
Water temperature in excess of 100° Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your health.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when
the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body
temperature of 98.6° F. (37° C.).
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure to
perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability to exit
the spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of
drowning.
SVRS devices shall only be installed in conjunction with ASME A112.19.8 suction fitting,
or a 12 in. x 12 in. (305 mm x 305 mm) drain grate or larger, or an approved channel
drain system at each suction outlet or drain outlet.
All SVRS devices shall be factory set or field adjusted to site-specific hydraulic conditions.
Once installed, the system shall be tested by simulating an entrapment event.
A ball, butterfly, or sliding gate valve shall be installed within 2 ft. (0.6m) upstream from the
SVRS (between the SVRS and the protected suction outlet), or a test mat shall be used to
cover the suction outlet to simulate an entrapment event. There shall be three simulated
entrapment tests conducted to verify proper adjustment and operation of the device.
SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) feature is DISABLED during priming. When
"SVRS" text is not displayed on the control panel screen, the SVRS feature is disabled.
The IntelliFlo® VS+SVRS pump ("pump") has been designed to specifically operate with
Pentair Water Pool and Spa control systems. Operating the pump with other manufacturers'
controllers may cause software failure of the pump, drive or other system components. Such
failure can result in severe personal injury (i.e., failure of the SVRS system, electrical shock)
or death. If installed properly, an IntelliComm® controller may be used to integrate other
manufacturer’s controllers.
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

vi
IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS Installation and User’s Guide
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The presence of a hydrostatic valve in the suction piping has been shown to prolong
the high vacuum present at the drain, even through the drain was protected by an
SVRS device.
• Check valves and hydrostatic valves shall not be used with this pump;
• Check valves should not be installed on the suction or discharge side of the system
protected by an SVRS device.
Never open the inside or the drive motor enclosure. There is a capacitor bank that holds a
230 VAC charge even when there is no power to the unit.
The IntelliFlo SVRS pump is capable of 174 GPM or 104 feet of head; use caution when installing
and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment.
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other than for which the pump was
intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may include but not be limited
to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property damage caused by
a structural failure of the pump or other system component.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia
in hot tubs and spas.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible
to the occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and
within sight of, the unit.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes
governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.

vii
IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS Installation and User’s Guide
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Install the pump a minimum of five (5) feet from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian
installations require a minimum of three (3) meters from pool water.
A No. 8 AWG or larger conductor must be wired to the motor bonding lug.
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed
in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall
height of 42 inches (1.07m).
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot
tub or spa unless so marked.
IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS is capable of generating systems pressures up to 50 psi. Installers must
ensure that all system components are rated to withstand at least 50 psi. Over pressurizing the
system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.
Two Speed Pump Controls Notice (Title 20 Compliance)
Please read the following important Safety Instructions (See page 6 for pump speed setup). When
using two-speed pumps manufactured on or after January 1, 2008, the pump's default circulation

Section 1
IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS Overview
IntelliFlo®VS+ SVRS Variable Speed Pump
The IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS variable speed pump with the safety vacuum release system (SVRS) protection is
well suited for all of your pool, spa, waterfall and other applications. The IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS can use up
to eight (8) speeds which can be adjusted to run at specific speeds and time intervals. IntelliFlo out
performs all conventional pumps in its class. Advanced energy conservation features ensure that your
filtration system is operating at peak efficiency.
The IntelliFlo pump operates at a maximum system flow rate of up to 174 gallons per minute (GPM).
System setup for the SVRS requires that the suction vacuum level be adjusted to 25" of mercury (Hg) or
less at the pump strainer housing connection.
The IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS pump can operate from 1100 RPM to 3450 RPM with preset speeds of 1100,
1500, 2350 and 3110 RPM. The pump can be adjusted from the control panel to run at any speed
between 1100 RPM to 3450 RPM for different applications. The IntelliFlo pump control panel alarm LED
and error messages warn the user against under and over voltage, high temperature, over current, suction
blockage and freeze protection with user defined minimum and maximum speed presets. See page 39 for
additional information.
This pump is intended to be used as part of a complete pool safety system. It complies with theASME/
ANSIA112.19.17-2002 SVRS standard which defines how fast the pump must stop on a suction blockage
event. This pump may not protect individuals from hair entrapment, limb entrapment or evisceration. The
operator must ensure that all suction and return fittings are clean and unobstructed whenever the pump is
started. Because SVRS protection is not enabled during priming mode, never allow anyone in the
pool during priming mode.
If SVRS auto restart is enabled and an SVRS event occurs, the pump is allowed to restart automatically
after the preset time period. The operator must insure that any SVRS blockage event is quickly
evaluated to confirm that all suction and return fittings are clean and unobstructed. When the pump
restarts after a high vacuum event it will slowly ramp up to speed. If the pump senses a blockage it will shut
down. The pump will attempt to soft prime 10 times before attempting a full prime.
Remote Control
The IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS can communicate with an
IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch®, or SunTouch®control system or the
IntelliComm®communication center via a two-wire RS-485
cable provided with the pump. EasyTouch and IntelliComm
can remotely control the IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS four preset
speeds. The IntelliTouch system can be configured to control a
total of eight speeds. The pump’s address and other pump
functions are accessed from the pump’s control panel.

IntelliFlo VS+ SVRS Installation and User’s Guide
Pump Operating Modes
The IntelliFlo VS+ pump can be programmed three ways:
1. Manual Operation: Speed buttons 1-4 can be programmed for Manual operation. This means the
speed button is pressed and then the start button and the pump runs a programmed speed. Speeds
5-8 can not be programmed for Manual operation because there are no buttons associated with
them.
To operate the pump in Manual Mode, press one of the four speed buttons, and press the Start/Stop
button to run the assigned speed for that button. When the pump is running a Manual Speed Setting
(speed 1, 2, 3 or 4 button pressed manually) and a scheduled speed is set to run, the scheduled
speed will take priority regardless of speed number of RPM. When the Scheduled Speed's time is
over, it will not revert back to the manually pressed speed. If the pump is running a schedule and a
speed button is pressed manually, the pump will run the manually selected speed until the next
scheduled speed program.
2. Egg Timer (Duration): Speeds 1-4 can be programmed to run for a duration of time once pressed.
This means that the Speed button is pressed and then the start button and the pump runs a
programmed speed and the speed will turn off at the end of a preprogrammed amount of time.
Speeds 5-8 have no direct pump speed buttons and therefore cannot be programmed with an Egg-
Timer.
3. Schedule: The speed button can be programmed to turn on and off at a certain time. The LED
above the Start/Stop button must be lit for the pump to run schedules. When a speed is set to run in
Schedule mode it can still be operated manually. When a speed is programmed to run 23 hours and
59 minutes per day it will not turn off. For example, for the pump to run 24 hours per day, program
the pump to start at 8:00 AM and stop at 7:59 AM.
Programming the Pump
When the pump is running a manual speed and password time out is activated the pump can be turned off but it
cannot be turned back on. Pressing the Start/Stop button places it in the Running Schedule mode. Therefore, it
will only run Speeds that are Scheduled to come on at their scheduled Start Time.

The IntelliFlo VS+ menu descriptions are as follows:
Settings: Pump Address
The IntelliFlo pump address needs to be changed when there is more than one IntelliFlo pump on an automation
system. Addressing the pump allows the automation system to know which pump to send a command to. The
“PumpAddress” setting is used when the IntelliFlo VS+ is connected via the RS-485 COM port to an
IntelliTouch®, EasyTouch®, SunTouch®or IntelliComm®system. The default pump address is #1. When
connected to EasyTouch®, SunTouch®or IntelliComm®the pump only communicates with address #1. The
pump address can be set from 1-16. However, IntelliTouch can communicate to four (1-4) IntelliFlo VS pumps.
Note: IntelliFlo pumps cannot be connected in series with other pumps.
