This manual describes the Pentair SuperFlo VST, SuperFlo VS, and Sta-Rite SuperMax VS Variable Speed Pumps, designed for various in-ground pool applications. These pumps are built with a thick-walled body, a permanent magnet motor, and advanced hydraulic engineering, ensuring durability and reliable service for pools, spas, water features, or fountains.
The Pentair variable speed pumps are designed to circulate water in swimming pools, spas, and water features efficiently. They feature a premium efficiency variable frequency drive that allows for flexible motor speed and duration settings. The pump operates at speeds ranging from 450 to 3450 RPM and is compatible with 115-230 Vrms nominal input power at either 50 or 60Hz. The primary function is to maintain a sanitary environment while minimizing energy consumption by running at the lowest necessary speeds. Optimal programming considers factors such as pool size, additional water features, chemical usage, and local environmental conditions.
The pump can be controlled either through its integrated keypad or externally via digital inputs or an RS-485 connection to a Pentair control system. When external controls are connected, the pump prioritizes commands in the following order: RS-485 > Digital Inputs > Drive Programmed Schedule.
The pump supports external control via:
