Summary
Since the time I began cleaning and repairing pools in 1984, I think the Intelliflo pump has been the single greatest advancement to come to the pool industry. It gives me great satisfaction to know I can install a quality pump and save my customer hundreds if not thousand of dollars over the lifetime of the pump.
