Got my Intelliflo VF hooked up yesterday, haven't yet cleaned out a partially dirty filter. It still wasn't completely dirty, so have not cleaned it yet, but may need to today
Was running the Intelliflo at 29 gpm, the filter reads about 5 psi. Have the Clean filter pressure set to 14 psi, yet the Intelliflo gets a service alert, and thinks the filter is clogged up now, running less than a day. Yet the psi on the filter has barely moved, it certainly has not moved 14 psi higher. (The RPMs increased steadily over a few hours, then dropped the GPM after the Alert.)
Here is my question for those that know the VF: What is your GPM and normal filter running pressure, and what do you have the VF set for on "Clean Filter Pressure"? And what is the filter running pressure after you get the Service System Soon Alert, telling you to backwash? (The instruction manual example shows a starting pressure of 10 psi, and with "Clean Filter Pressure" set at 14 psi, then the Alert happens at 24 psi, "which is a 14 psi increase.")
But mine just seems to get the Alert, and the filter pressure doesn't change hardly at all, after running the pump for a few hours. This is with admittedly somewhat dirty filter, although by my older cleaning standards, the filter had a way to go before becoming completely clogged.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Jeff
