E10
Pentair · Pentair IntelliFlo3 VSF Variable Speed Pool Pump
The pump is experiencing sustained high power draw that exceeds the normal operating range. The system is overloaded. Common causes include a very dirty filter (high back pressure forces the pump to work harder), partially closed return valves, undersized piping creating excessive friction loss, or running at a higher speed than the plumbing system can support. Clean or replace the pool filter. Open all return valves fully. If the problem persists at lower speeds, there may be a plumbing restriction.
