Pentair 2 hp variable speed pool pump

Q: What speed should I run my Pentair variable speed pump?

This would be in the mid 1,000s to low 2,000 RPMs depending on the size of your pump relative to the size of your pool. Let it run at this speed for 8+hours. This is an incredibly energy efficient operation speed and will provide the bulk of your daily filtration and should provide at least one turnover.

Pentair IntelliFlo 3 HP Variable Speed Pump offers reliable performance and energy-savings that has made the IntelliFlo the best selling variable speed pool pump for years.

Pentair Part Number 011060

For pools in areas that restrict replacement pump flow rates, the IntelliFlo i1 Variable Speed Pool Pump for inground pools may be the ideal choice. Its hydraulic design reduces flow rates while providing the significant energy savings you’d expect from a Pentair variable speed pump. With a maximum rating of seven amps, this makes retrofits easier in applications that are limited by existing wire gauge size.

Permanent magnet motor runs cooler, produces less vibration than induction motors
Totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) design protects against the elements
Built-in diagnostics that detect the most common causes of premature wear and tear—loss of prime, overheating, freezing and voltage irregularities—protect the pump for longer service life
Improves the efficiency of automatic chlorinators and chemical dispensers, because water moves slower for longer periods of time
Heavy-duty/durable construction is designed for long life
IntelliFlo i2 WEF 6.9 THP 3.95

VERSATILE HYDRAULIC DESIGN

If your pool is in an area that restricts the rate of flow on replacement pumps, the IntelliFlo i1 pump may be your ideal choice. Its hydraulic design reduces flow rates while providing the significant energy savings you’d expect from a Pentair variable speed pump.

DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

The IntelliFlo i2 pump is hydraulically engineered to provide maximum performance on a 15-amp breaker. It has a maximum rating of 11.8 amps, which makes retrofits easier in applications that are limited by existing wire gauge size.

SAVE ENERGY AND MONEY

The IntelliFlo i1 and i2 pumps are built to move water more efficiently at lower speeds. They also provide increased energy savings versus conventional pumps. Plus, they have a record of proven field reliability that no competitor can match.

EASY AUTOMATION, EVEN REMOTELY

The IntelliFlo i1 and i2 variable speed pumps are designed to pair with our Automation Systems. They can be programmed to deliver the right flow required for filtration, water features, spas and other equipment. Plus, the IntelliFlo i1 and i2 pumps interface with these automation systems to give you the convenience of mobile device control.

KEYPAD CONVENIENCE

The new keypad is rotatable for easy access and has an optional wall mount kit that’s sold separately.

Is a 2 speed pool pump worth it?

At River Pools, we used two speed pumps for years with great success. They are quite a bit more expensive to purchase than single speed pumps and last the same amount of time, which is typically 3-8 years. On average, a two-speed pump will save about 50%-70% on energy cost compared to a one-speed pump.

Is a variable speed pool pump worth it?

A Worthwhile Investment Even at a higher initial cost than single-speed pumps, the best variable speed pumps are the superior investment because they offer prolonged filtration, more water turnover, and lengthier sanitation durations. These benefits make it easier to maintain your pool.

What is the benefit of a 2 speed pool pump?

The obvious advantage of the Two Speed Pool Pumps is that you can alternate between two speeds. For the most part you will set it to the Low Speed and in turn you will save a lot of energy costs compared to the One Speed Pumps.
