Choosing a Sand Filter for Your Swimming Pool

Sand Filter. Sand filters for swimming pools are the oldest and most popular method of filtration. They operate on the basis of "depth" filtration where dirt is driven through the sand bed and trapped in the spaces between the sand particles. Initially, a clean sand bed removes larger particles, and then, as the bed starts to load up with debris, the filter removes finer particles.

Using a D.E. Filter for Your Swimming Pool

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) Filter. Diatomaceous earth is a porous powder with microscopic openings that when magnified look like tiny sponges. Clear water can pass through these openings, but particles, as small as two to five microns, are trapped during the first pass through the media. D.E. filters have internal elements that become coated with D.E. It is this 'filter cake' that strains dirt, dust and algae from the water.

Buying a Cartridge Filter for Your Swimming Pool

When water passes through a cartridge filter, dirt is screened out at the surface of the cartridge element. When clean, the element will trap larger particles, with finer particles being filtered out as the pores of the element become clogged by the larger debris.

Pentair IntelliFlo VS-3050 Variable Speed Pump

Colossal energy savings is enough reason to install an IntelliFlo VS-3050 as fast as possible. But, there’s more to this innovation story.

The quietest pump on the planet: Thanks to its permanent magnet motor and the fact that it is a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) design, IntelliFlo is also the quietest pump ever built. At typical speeds you can barely notice it’s operating.

Longer life further increases return on your investment: IntelliFlo’s permanent magnet motor produces far less heat and vibration than traditional induction motors. This not only results in less stress and wear on pump components, but on other equipment, too. Also, built-in diagnostics protect IntelliFlo VS-3050 from the most common causes of premature pump failure - overheating, freezing, and voltage irregularities. The result is you can expect dramatically longer life and an even greater return on your investment.

As your poolscape changes, so will IntelliFlo: With IntelliFlo you can add equipment and features, or change them, without reducing pump performance and efficiency. Add a solar system or water feature or change your filter. Just push a button to set the new, optimum speed to operate at the lowest energy use. Your savings are maintained even as your pool system changes.

Unique ability to manage water features: Finally, consider IntelliFlo’s unique ability to alter the performance of your water features. Want to add height to deck jets or fountains? Want to increase the water flow to waterfalls or a vanishing edge? Just increase or decrease pump speed with the touch of a button to adjust on demand. You manage the sights and sounds of your backyard retreat while driving energy costs down to new lows.

Pentair IntelliFlo VS-3050 Variable Speed Pump

Two key technology innovations drive sensational energy savings with IntelliFlo VS-3050:

First, Pentair IntelliFlo pump uses an exclusive permanent magnet motor (used in hybrid cars) in place of a traditional induction motor. Permanent magnet motors are fundamentally more energy eff icient and typically account for "base energy savings" of 30%.

Next, IntelliFlo includes a variable speed capability, along with digital controls and proprietary software that allow custom programming of optimum pump speeds for specif ic tasks - filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets, waterfalls, etc. For virtually all applications, the optimum speed will be lower than the pre-set, unchangeable speeds of older pumps. Using slower speeds takes advantage of a fundamental pump law: by going slower, power consumption is reduced. In fact, when pump speeds are reduced by half, energy consumption is just one-eighth of what was previously used.
The result is additional savings - potentially up to 90% compared to even so-called high efficiency single-speed, two-speed and multi-speed pumps.

Pentair IntelliFlo VS-3050 Variable Speed Pump

A monumental breakthrough in energy efficiency, extended service life and silent operation.

Traditional pool pumps are notorious energy hogs. In fact, it's not unusual for a pump to consume as much energy as all other home appliances combined - often more than $100 per month. Fortunately, there is IntelliFlo VS-3050 from Pentair, a breakthrough innovation that's brimming with new technology to drastically reduce energy costs and provide many other benefits as well.
