IntelliFlo3 VSF Variable Speed & Flow Pool Pump(Model 011092)
The Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF (model 011092) is Pentair's flagship variable-speed AND variable-flow pool pump, letting you program exact flow rates in gallons per minute rather than just RPM, with app-based scheduling through IntelliCenter or ScreenLogic.
type: Variable Speed / Variable Flowvoltage: 230Vhorsepower: 3 HP (max)
- ✓Variable-speed AND variable-flow — program by RPM or exact GPM
- ✓Pairs with IntelliCenter and ScreenLogic for app-based scheduling
- ✓Built-in timer for standalone use without a separate automation system

The Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF (model 011092) is a step above standard variable-speed pumps: it's a variable-speed AND variable-flow pump, meaning you can program it either by RPM or by exact gallons-per-minute — useful for pools running a heater, solar system, or spa jets that need a guaranteed flow rate regardless of changing plumbing resistance (like a dirty filter).
It pairs with Pentair's IntelliCenter or ScreenLogic control systems for app-based scheduling, and includes an integrated timer for standalone operation without a separate automation system. Like other variable-speed pumps, expect meaningful energy savings versus single-speed operation — Energy Star estimates typical annual savings in the $300+ range depending on run time and local electricity rates.
This is generally the right pump if you're already running (or planning to add) a solar heating system, since precise flow-rate control materially affects solar heating performance in a way flow-rate-agnostic pumps can't match.
Who it's for: pool owners with (or planning) a solar heater, spa jets, or an existing Pentair automation system who want one pump that can serve all of those loads at the correct flow rate. If your pool is a straightforward filtration-only setup with no heater or solar array, the simpler SuperFlo VS delivers most of the energy savings at a meaningfully lower price.
