Product Overview

The Pentair IntelliFlo VSF Variable Speed and Flow Pump delivers precise, energy-efficient circulation for residential pools and spas. Unlike standard variable-speed pumps, the IntelliFlo VSF can operate by either speed or flow, automatically adjusting its motor speed to maintain the programmed flow rate as system conditions change.

Eight programmable speed or flow settings, a built-in timer, and a rotatable digital keypad make it easy to create customized operating schedules for filtration, heating, cleaning systems, spa operation, waterfalls, and other water features. Its totally enclosed fan-cooled motor supports dependable, quiet operation while helping reduce energy consumption compared with traditional single-speed pumps.

Manufacturer part number 011056 has been discontinued by Pentair. It remains suitable for direct replacement applications when matching an existing IntelliFlo VSF installation, subject to product availability.
