Hi, I just purchased and installed an Intelliflo VS (011018) but I really have no idea what I should be setting the speed at to get the desired GPM and rollover during the day. Some of the forum posts mention an Excel spreadsheet to approximate it but it's been taken offline. I was hoping someone who still has it can give me an approximate GPM at RPM for my install (or send it to me if that's easier). Note that I have 1 1/2" plumbing which I think is quite restrictive.
Here are the numbers I see:
Solar off:
RPM Watts
750* 100**
1000 140**
1200 160**
1400 200**
1600 290
1800 388
2000 519
2200 660
2400 845
2600 1050
2800 1280
Solar on:
750*
1000 120**
1200 130**
1400 155**
1600 250**
1800 345
2000 460
2200 592
2400 755
2600 930
2800 1180
* under 1000RPM doesn't seem to provide enough flow
** at lower RPMs the wattage really jumps around (probably as much as 20%) so getting an accurate figure is difficult
*** I'm not sure how much pressure my lines can take so I've set the max to 2800RPM
In case it makes any difference, the pool is about 15k gallons.
Let me know. Thanks,
Mike
