Pentair IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pool and Spa Pump Updated - What's In the Box

Welcome back, ePoolSupply supporters! In today's blog, I would like to go over our brand-new YouTube video. In this video, our pool professional show you everything that comes included in the box when purchasing the Pentair IntelliFlo VSF Horsepower Variable Speed Pool Pump (011056). This particular pump is part of Pentair's "Trade Grade" series which unfortunately means it cannot be sold through online services. It can, however, be purchased at a retail store which we do offer here locally (Phoenix, AZ) at our store. Included in the box is the pump of course, but they also include the 2-way communication cable used to hook up to an automation system (If you have one) and the handy dandy instruction/safety tip manual for the owner. The purchase does not include the unions needed for plumbing purposes like the Pentair SuperFlo, but we also sell them here at our store. I have attached the video below if you would like to watch the video and skip the reading. If you want to learn more about this pump and the warranty that comes with it then keep on reading!

What's In The Box?

When you open the box, what comes in there is the pump, cable, and paperwork. Now what is great about this pump is no matter how it is installed, you can remove the four bolts on the corners of the screen and rotate it however you need to have it face you. In the newer style pumps, they do not come with a screen so everything can be done wirelessly through your phone. On the pump, you will see a big red tag and this is letting you know that they ran it through all of the testing requirements. This means you may or may not receive a pump with some water in it because they get water tested directly from the manufacturer The automation cable isn't necessarily needed for the newer style pumps. They have a proprietary plug on the side that you would use the cable for so that's why one end of the cable is a specific plug to plug in and the other side is just wires that you would plug into your automation side. The last thing is the paperwork and that includes the owner's manual and the warranty. You can do the warranty directly on the Pentair website or you can mail it in.
