Pentair has announced the IntelliFlo i1, which is like a regular IntelliFlo but "hydraulically limited" to a max flow rate around that of a 1 HP WhisperFlo. Initial pricing seems to be about the same to a little higher than the IntelliFlo VS, though there hasn't been time for that to settle down just yet.
It isn't at all clear to me what, if any, advantages this pump has over a regular IntelliFlo, aside from the meeting regulations requiring pumps below some max flow rate issue that Pentair brings up in their literature.
Does anyone have any guesses about what is actually different and how the energy efficiency compares to a regular IntelliFlo?
