Pentair IntelliFlo3 Variable Speed and Flow Pump 011075

The LCD screen on my decade-old IntelliFlo pump failed a few months ago so I was running it blind. Sometimes it wouldn't start up, sometimes it would quit unexpectedly. I finally bit the bullet and bought this replacement. The electronics are so sophisticated I've set my IntelliCenter panel to leave the pump circuit on 24/7 and I control the IntelliFlo directly through the Pentair app. I run it at 30 GPH all day long and get a nice spill from my raised spa– using only about 465 watts. The new pump is physically larger than the original, but the connection points are in the same place so the replacement plumbing is simple.

Super quiet and efficient

DO NOT BUY PENTAIR IF YOU SELF INSTALL. I received a defective pump. Pentair would not accept a return and would not cover labor on a pump that was defective ( they did cover parts). I was told to hire a technician to diagnosis. It cost me $195 for them to tell Pentair the board on the pump was defective. No other company fails to warranty labor on an item that is defective. Pentair failed to sell me a functional pump and made me pay to get it fixed. I should not have to pay for receiving a defective product. Don't buy Pentair, buy another brand.

Took some getting used to & doesn't communicate with existing control box. Hate the on-line app requirement cuz my wireless doesn't extend to pool equipment area. Otherwise, I LOVE this new pump! Heats up spa via natural gas heater in one-quarter of previous time.

Really like Pentair products. Piping will usually line up when replacing another Pentair pump this unit was not any different other than the fact I needed to go from a 2.5” fittings to 2” for my system. Once installed the set up was amazingly simple. Complete control with my phone. I have a separate pump for my cleaning system which comes on around midnight and turns off around 4am. My circulation pump is set to come on an hour before and off an hour after the cleaning system. The rest of the running cycle is set at a much lower flow for the remainder of the day. With this 3hp pump the water really has a good flow. So far…very pleased. Of course it is a Pentair.

I replaced my Pentair Variable Speed Pump that lasted Sixteen Years with this pump. I had it professionally installed because of plumbing rerouting needing to be done and you get an extended warranty from Pentair for professional installation. It works great and is easy to use since you use the Pentair App to adjust speeds and programs. Highly recommend!

No issues with pump. Been installed for a while now.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great pump love the app to control it, I would highly recommend
