Schedules Menu
Schedule your spa/pool pump to turn on
Use the Schedule feature to set the time and day(s) when to switch the filter pump on and rotate the pool or
spa valves into the "Spa" or "Pool" position. The heater will automatically heat the spa or pool water up to the
set point temperature as set in the "Heat" menu (see page 23). If the pool has a separate jet pump or blower
controlled by AUX 1 and/or AUX 2 , these need to be scheduled separately.
Schedule Example
When a circuit relay is switched on manually, it remains on until you either switch it off manually, or the next
time the relay is scheduled to be switched off. For example, if the filter pump or any circuit is scheduled to run
from 9AM to 4 PM and the programmed schedule is turned OFF at 1:00 PM and then turned on at 1:10 PM,
the circuit will turn OFF at its programmed OFF time of 4:00 PM. But if the circuit is turned on after 4:00 PM,
the factory set Egg Timer of 12 hours is now engaged. So if the circuit was turned on at 6:00 PM that circuit
will turn off at 6:00 AM (12 hours later). If the circuit was turned ON at 5:00 PM and because a programmed
OFF time had been set to turn off at 4:00 PM, the circuit would operate for 11 hours. A spa or pool program
can be overridden using the Spa button or Pool button to switch the circuit on. If you program the start and
stop times the same, the schedule will run for 24 hours if scheduled to run for one day. In "Service" mode, a
pool or spa program can be overridden using the Filter (F) button and pool/spa Valves (V) button on the
outdoor control panel in the EasyTouch load center. Note: The following example describes how to use the
"Schedule" feature to program the spa circuit to switch the filter pump on and rotate the valves into the
"Spa" position and switch the heater on. This example can also be used to program when to filter and
heat your pool, and switch light or auxiliary circuits on or off.
