Key Features

3 HP Variable Speed & Flow Performance

The 3 HP IntelliFlo3 VSF is designed to deliver powerful circulation while allowing the pump to operate at lower, more efficient speeds when full power is not required. Variable speed operation helps reduce wasted energy compared with traditional single-speed pumps.

Built-In Touchscreen Control

This model includes a touchscreen interface for simple, on-site pump operation. The touchscreen gives homeowners and service technicians direct access to pump settings without needing to rely only on a mobile app or automation system.

Sensorless Flow Technology

Pentair’s proprietary flow technology helps maintain the pool’s optimal flow by adjusting to changing pool conditions. This is especially useful when filter pressure changes, debris load increases, or pool demand varies during normal use.

Pentair Pool App Connectivity

The IntelliFlo3 VSF can be monitored and controlled through the Pentair Pool app, giving users convenient access from a compatible smart device. Pentair states that users can set up, monitor, and control the IntelliFlo3 pump through the app.

Energy-Saving Pump Design

The IntelliFlo3 VSF is built to help reduce energy use by running at slower, more efficient speeds while still maintaining proper circulation. Pentair states that the pump can help save up to 90% in energy consumption under its listed comparison conditions versus a single-speed pump.

Quiet Operation

The IntelliFlo3 pump is designed for quieter performance compared with single-speed pumps. This makes it a strong choice for backyard equipment pads where noise reduction is important for homeowner comfort.

Wi-Fi Enabled Automation Capability

The IntelliFlo3 VSF can function as more than just a pump by supporting Wi-Fi enabled control of up to two additional pool equipment products when properly configured. Pentair describes this as entry-level automation capability for streamlined pool management.

DOE Compliant & ENERGY STAR® Certified

This pump is designed to meet current Department of Energy variable speed pump requirements and is ENERGY STAR® certified. This helps customers choose a pump built for modern efficiency standards.
