    Intelliflo VS+SVRS always going into priming mode

    I have an intelliflo VS+SVRS pump, installed earlier this year. I'm generally pretty happy with this pump, however, I do have one problem - it always goes into priming mode when first turned on. Quoting from the manual: The Default setting for Priming is disabled. Enabling this feature allows...

    New pump sqealing

    That sounds too much like my own experiences with my new VS+SVRS. Purring along for two weeks, then started squealing intermittently. Comes and goes. Today, I started it up and turned it to a low speed (1200) and it was vibrating pretty strongly. Cleared up when I turned the speed up to 1700...

    New IntelliFlo VS+SVRS - Schedule Question

    Okay - that sounds logical. Set one of the four button based speeds to run on schedule, then when you press the button, it doesn't implicitly run that speed, it either runs (if it's inside the scheduled time) or doesn't (if outside the scheduled time). I'll give it a go later. Thanks!

The old 2.5hp pump was just way too much for my pool (except for the spa). I was thinking of just getting the new VS model, but with a 3...

    Seized Pump

    I had the pool guy out this morning to fix it. The impeller had indeed spun off the shaft as Ranger987 predicted. It had also jacked the shaft of the motor back and jammed it - but my pool guy was able to get it freed back up. New impeller, new seals and it's humming along nicely now. Having...

    Seized Pump

    Okay - so i've been lurking for months and can't thank everyone enough for this forum. Bought a house with a pool (my first) in July and so far this forum has answered all my questions (without me needing to post) and my pool is humming along and crystal clear! Well... I say humming along...
