Saving electricity - replacing an old pump/motor

[mas985]

I thought the Intellifo only had 4 RPM settings, you are showing 10. Are there more than the head curves show?

Also, remember that these calculations are approximations so I would not expect less than 10% error. You may be splitting hairs when it comes to costs.

I understand you want to save the most money but the Intelliflo is relatively new pump so it is not well time tested and has many more parts to fail. Keep that in mind when doing a cost benefit analysis.

You might want to query the forum again to see if anyone has one.

H iMark,

Pentair sells the IntelliFlo (part no 11012) http://www-1.pentairwater.com/jwcs/w...egory_rn=29151

and the IntelliFlo 4 160 (part 11013) http://www-1.pentairwater.com/jwcs/w...egory_rn=29151.

The former has a built in timer etc. The latter can store 4 different speed thay you preset. One of Pentair's manual references a smaller IntelliFlo 4 100 but nobdoy seems to have seen it.

The only reference I could find on this forum was

http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...ght=IntelliFlo

http://ths.gardenweb.com/search/nph-...Pools+%26+Spas has some info (and I think I have seen posts from you, too) but nothing conclusive ...

I'll ask on a separate thread
