Using the Default Schedule
The default schedule is designed to provide enough daily turnover to service a typical
pool. See
Table 2
for default schedule.
SPEED 1 is set to begin at 8:00am and run at 3000 RPM for a duration of 2 hours.
When SPEED 1 is complete the pump immediately begins running the default SPEED
2. SPEED 2 is factory default to 1500 RPM and will last for 10 hours. When SPEED 2
has completed its run the pump will run SPEED 3 at 2500 RPM for a duration of two
hours.
After 18 hours of run time and completing its run of SPEED 4, the pump will enter a
stationary/paused state for the next 6 hours. The pump will restart at 8:00am the next
morning and cycle through the default schedule again. The pump will continue to run
in this in this manner until a custom schedule is programmed into the drive by the user.
NOTE: The Start/Stop button must be pressed, and the LED lit, for the pump to run.
Speed 1 and priming
The installer should set the priming speed to be sufficient for priming the pump
from a fresh install,but not so fast that there is a substantial waste of energy. The
time the pump needs to achieve prime can change based on local environmental
conditions such as water temperature, atmospheric pressure, and your pool’s
water level. All of these things should be taken into consideration when setting
the priming speed, however in most cases the pump will not need to run at 3450
RPM to successfully prime itself.
Please test and verify chosen priming speeds more than once, letting the water
drain from the system in between each test. Turn on pump and switch to Manual
mode to test Priming by operating SPEED1.Take note of the time that the water
filled the PUMP HOUSING, then stop the pump. Re-start the pump to set the
SPEED1/Priming duration.
