Priming Menu (Continued)
When the pump is priming, the control panel LCD displays "Priming" and then, for a moment, displays
"Primed" when priming is complete.
CAUTION: To avoid permanent damage to the IntelliFlo pump, before starting the system, fill the IntelliFlo
housing strainer with water so that the pump will prime correctly. If there is no water in the
strainer the pump will not prime.
To access the Priming menu:
1. Ensure that the green power LED is on and the pump is stopped.
2. Press the Menu button. "Pool Data" is displayed.
3. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to find the "Priming" menu item. Press the
Select button to select it.

step 4.
The "Max Priming Flow" value is entered as cubic meters (m
36 m
for the pool and equipment. Each time the pump starts, this parameter will
determine the maximum flow of the pump. If the flow is too high, equipment
damage can occur. If the flow is to low the pump will not prime. This "flow"
is system dependent and may require iteration. During priming, the flow will
never exceed the maximum priming flow value set in this step, however, it is
common for the pump to ramp up and down quickly while priming. Always
maintain as low a flow rate as possible for cost savings and safety.
b) To set the Max Priming Time:
scroll to the "Max Priming Time" setting. Press the Select button to select
it. To enter the maximum time for priming before "PRIMING ERROR", see
step 4.
The "Max Priming Time" value is entered in minutes, from 1 to 15 minutes.
The default is 15 minutes. Use this parameter to set the length of time you
would like for IntelliFlo to continue to try to prime before it reports an error.
Remember that the IntelliFlo will attain prime every time it starts and goes
through this cycle. The IntelliFlo mechanical seal can withstand about 15
minutes before severe damage occurs. You can set this range between 1and
15 minutes. The lower you set the time, the sooner a priming error will occur
if the system is experiencing difficulty priming. A well plumbed pool should
prime in under 30 seconds without removal of the strainer. If the strainer has
been removed for cleaning and a substantial amount of air is in the system,
the pool should prime in approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Priming time will
vary.
