Greetings!
99% of pools in our area are Pentair. So we are not nearly as adept at Hayward systems.
We have a new client with a new Hayward system. Omnilogic PL load center fully automated with VSPs, salt cell, actuators etc. Startup is done and we've programmed it all beautifully, with one exception: the heater.
I'm certain we've wired it correctly to the Low Voltage relay (and properly programmed), but I'm less sure of the wiring done by the electrician.
The electrician wired the heater to HVR1.
I've dug through all the settings in omnilogic and I only have either/or for the heater - an LVR or an HVR. We had to create some fun combos on HVR and LVR for the jet pump to have power *and* automation; is that an acceptable format for the heater? Hayward suggested setting up the relay on a 24hr schedule to power a HVR all the time before programming the auxillary pump on the LVR. Should I just do this again for the heater relay?
Meaning now both HVR1 (heater) and HVR3 (spa/jet pump) are relays that remain powered all the time?
I'd like to think I could have figured this out as well as we know the Pentair systems. I can't decide if the way Hayward created interdependence between the high voltage and low voltage is brilliant or terrible.
Any wisdom is immensely appreciated!
