Pentair IntelliFlo VS+SVRS 3 HP Variable Speed Pump | EC-011057
Product Overview
The Pentair IntelliFlo VS+SVRS (model EC-011057) is a high-efficiency, variable speed pool pump combining smart control, energy saving, and built-in safety. It features a permanent magnet motor and onboard digital intelligence that can reduce pump-related energy costs by up to 90%. This model also includes SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) built in — it detects drain blockages and automatically shuts off to prevent entrapment hazards.
It supports eight programmable speeds, variable flow settings for filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets, and water features, plus diagnostics and prime protection features.
Ideal For
-
Homeowners upgrading from single- or two-speed pumps who want maximum energy savings.
-
Pools integrated with automation (e.g. Pentair EasyTouch or IntelliTouch) seeking seamless control. Systems needing suction entrapment protection — SVRS is built in and compliant with ASME A112.19.17.
-
Installations where flexible speed control (filtering / cleaning / spa mode) is desirable to optimize performance and efficiency.
Key Features
-
Variable Speed Motor: runs at multiple speeds tailored for tasks (filtering, heating, cleaning).
-
Built-In SVRS Safety System: automatically stops pump in event of a drain blockage — no calibration needed.
-
Eight Programmable Speeds for custom scheduling per pool function (spa, jets, filter, etc.).
-
Diagnostic & Protection Modes: monitors overheating, voltage irregularities, freeze, and loss of prime. Password Lock Modes: prevent unauthorized changes to speed settings.
-
Automation Ready: integrates with Pentair control systems for remote control and synchronization.
-
ENERGY STAR Certification and high WEF (Weighted Energy Factor) rating.
Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: Does this pump save energy compared to single-speed units?
A: Yes. Because it runs at lower speeds when full power isn't needed, it can reduce energy costs by up to 90% in many installations.
Q: What is SVRS and why is it important?
A: SVRS stands for Safety Vacuum Release System. It detects blockages (like suction entrapment hazards) and automatically shuts off the pump to prevent accidents.
Q: Do I lose the safety system if I use automation?
A: No. The SVRS is built in and cannot be disabled — even when integrated with automation systems.
Q: Can I set custom speeds?
A: Yes. You can program eight different speeds for different tasks (filter, spa, water features, vacuuming).
Q: What protection does the pump have against errors or damage?
A: It includes diagnostics and safety protections against overheating, over/undervoltage conditions, freezing, and loss of prime.
