Pentair IntelliFlo Pumps
IntelliFlo is Pentair's family of variable speed (VS) pumps that connect to Pentair Automation Systems using a RS-485 data communication cable. When connected to an automation system the pump is controlled by the automation system and the display on the pump display "DRIVE NOT ACTIVE'. Otherwise the IntelliFlo pump is controlled by its control panel on the top rear of the pump.
The IntelliFlo and IntelliPro pumps are the only VS pump that can be fully controlled by Pentair Automation Systems
The IntelliFlo control panel has 8 programmable speed settings and built-in timer. Four speed settings are accessible by buttons on the control panel and four speed settings are used for scheduled speeds.
The 2020 Pentair Pump Parts Catalog shows the parts commonality across the product line.

IntelliFlo VS+SVRS to VSF Upgrade
A member bought a SVRS pump that never worked because the pump site elevation over the pool is higher than SVRS vacuum trigger can tolerate.[1] Based on the parts catalog[2] he removed SVRS drive # 356910Z and replaced with VSF drive #356880Z keeping the old keypad. Cost was $530 without the keypad.
IntelliFlo Bonding Lug
IntelliFlo pumps have a odd bonding lug with a longer arm since they connect to the pump screw under the rear cover. These lugs can rust out after a few years. Pentair does not have them in their parts catalog or sell them.
The replacement is Panduit CO35-36SL-QY.[3] There are multiple sources for them online. [4]
