I set my timer on 2300 RPM speed 3. I noticed after a few minutes my flow decreases substantially as my fountains flow is less. But if I put it on “quick clean” for 60 min I don’t lose flow as if I did on my timer. Any suggestions? Thanks!Reply

The lower the RPMs, the lower the flow. The pump won't be able to push the same amount of water through the fountains as it would at its top speed. Quick clean temporarily boosts the RPMs to the motor's top speed. In short, if you want to run your fountains, you need to run them on a higher RPM. The pool pump's primary function is to move the water for filtering. If you want to use water features on top of its filtering function, it needs to run higher.Reply

How do you turn off a timer? Somehow have 2 timers running?Reply

Set the timer to begin and end at the same time.Reply

My freeze protection didn’t work last winter and it cost me a filter head. I don’t close my pool in the winter. This year I was trying to run 24/7 on my pump during the winter to prevent freezing. I set it up to start at 4 p and end at 4 p. Pump stays on but stops pumping water sometime later. Viewing cap has water so it’s not dry. If I hit quick clean it starts pumping. I’m running 2300 rpm 24 hrs. It stops pumping sometime during the day. I bought this pump to save money over my single speed that ran 24/7 365 but I’m finding myself lost with this situation. I’m scared the freeze protection won’t work again and next time may be more damage. Any ideas to remedy either situationReply

Maybe the schedule is getting confused because it is beginning and ending at the same time. Try setting the stop time to 3:45 or 3:59 pm, so there is no overlap.Reply

I have followed programming but can’t seem to get pump to work in standalone mode. I noticed in your video the timer activate light is on. My light is not on and after programming the pump won’t start up. Any suggestions?Reply

When you press Quick Clean, does the pump startup? Do you have an automation system wired to the pump, even though you directly program the speeds? Lastly, are you sure the programs are being saved after you set them?Reply

Great info, I have a second timer set so I could run my pump 24 hours for initial installation, how do I disable the second timer?Reply
InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S. Posted: 10/18/2021
I'd try setting the start and end time to the same value. Doing that should zero out the run time.Reply

Is there a way to turn the pump on to run for straight 24 hours for a chemical clean?Reply
InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S. Posted: 7/23/2021
There isn't a 24-hour override on this pump model like there are on other models like the Century V-Green. Your best option is to alter one of your schedules to run the desired clean cycle speed.Reply

Plz help... Very important question: How do I temporarily turn the pump on, outside of the programmed ON time? For example: Lets say I have the pump programmed to shut off at 6pm. But at 7pm, I spontaneously decide that I need to turn it on for a while, and then later shut it off again. How do I do this??? Thank you sooo much. I look forward to hearing from you.Reply

Press the Override/Clean button on the motor control.Reply

Good video. How do I use the Quick Clean button on the bottom right of the display? Thank you!Reply
InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S. Posted: 5/13/2021
You should be able to press it and it will run at the factory default speed, 3450. You also have the option to program the quick clean speed and durationReply

How do I raise the speed on the quick clean option? Thanks!Reply
InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S. Posted: 8/24/2021
The Quick Clean mode runs at the MAX allowed speed and expires after 60 min. So, you would adjust your maximum allowed speed to change your QC mode, the process of which is shown in step 9.Reply

Thank you! Wasn’t sure if I could press the button without programming it.Reply

No problem, glad to help.Reply
