Pump Warnings and Safety Instructions
3
For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency switch shall be
provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the occupants and shall be
installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of, the unit.
PUMP WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IntelliFlo® SVRS PUMP WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please refer to http://www.pentairpool.com/pool-owner/safety-warnings/ for warnings and safety instructions related to
the IntelliFlo
®
VS+SVRS and IntelliPro
®
VS+SVRS pump.
The SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) feature of the pump is inactive during priming. The SVRS
feature is an integral part of a complete safety system. During priming mode, the pump does not monitor
blocked suction or discharge system conditions. Swimmers should not be allowed in the pool during the
"inactive" SVRS mode. When "SVRS" text is not displayed on the control panel screen, the SVRS system is
disabled.
The SVRS pump is not a substitute for properly installed and secured pool drain covers. An ANSI/ASME
A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment drain cover must be used for each drain. Pools and spas should utilize
two drains per pump. If a drain cover becomes loose, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa
immediately and shut off the pump until an approved anti-entrapment drain cover is properly installed with the
manufacturer's supplied screws.
The SVRS pump produces high levels of suction, which can pose extreme danger if a person comes in close
proximity to an open pool or spa drain or a loose or broken drain cover or grate. The pump, when installed
according to the manufacturer's instructions, is designed to help prevent injuries caused by body entrapment
in pools. The pump does not, however, protect against limb entrapments, disembowelments (when a person
sits on a broken or uncovered pool drain) or hair entanglements.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker and remove the RS-485 communication
cable from the pump before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to
serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
SVRS devices shall only be installed in conjunction with ASME A112.19.8 suction fitting, or a
12 in. x 12 in. (305 mm x 305 mm) drain grate or larger, or an approved channel drain system at each
suction outlet or drain outlet.
All SVRS devices shall be factory set or field adjusted to site-specific hydraulic conditions. Once
installed, the system shall be tested by simulating an entrapment event. A ball, butterfly, or sliding gate
valve shall be installed within 2 ft. (0.6m) upstream from the SVRS (between the SVRS and the protected
suction outlet), or a test mat shall be used to cover the suction outlet to simulate an entrapment event.
There shall be three simulated entrapment tests conducted to verify proper adjustment and operation of
the device.
Install the pump a minimum of five (5) feet from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian installations
require a minimum of three (3) meters from pool water.
A No. 8 AWG or larger conductor must be wired to the motor bonding lug.
The pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so
marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or
in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it
may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a maximum
dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall height of 42 inches (1.07m).
The IntelliFlo® VS+SVRS and IntelliPro® VS+SVRS pump ("pump") has been designed to specifically
operate with Pentair Water Pool and Spa control systems. Operating the pump with other manufacturers’
controllers may cause software failure of the pump, drive or other system components. Such failure can
result in severe personal injury (i.e., failure of the SVRS system, electrical shock) or death. If installed
properly, an IntelliComm® controller may be used to integrate other manufacturer’s controllers.
