I second that .... the question that is. I would like to get one of these high efficiency pumps but is seems like you need to spend a few hundred dollars more on a controller to hook it all up.

The Autopilot retains its settings when the power is off. Ours kept the correct time all winter and was all dialed in when I turned it on this spring. If the Intelliflow pumps have the same feature then the Autopilot could cut the power to the pump and when the power is restored by th Autopilot, the pump would know what time it was and what speed it should run at. That's IF it has a battery backup. Reading the manual, I have not found that referenced yet.

Anyone know ???
