Question on iAqualink Schedule

Hi everyone,

From what I understand, the only way to prevent my VSP pump from stopping completely when a power outage occurs is to set up schedules to have it come on at various times. Please correct me if that is not the case. With that, I have 4 schedules set, filter on and off from 12am-5:59am, 6am-11:59, etc. I would love to ideally avoid the priming stage at each "startup". If I set my first schedule to go from 12am-6am, then the next schedule come on from 6am-12pm, would this work or would it just stay off? Also, is the on/off schedule correct or could I do the same thing but just change the VSP speed...would that "wake up" the power in the event of a power outage or on/off the only way?

The reason I am doing this is we are leaving for vacation soon and if there is a power outage while I am gone, I have no reason to log into the system and turn the pump back on.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks!
 
I don't think that is correct. If the power goes off during a scheduled run time the pump will start back up if the power comes back on while still during the run time. It's the Aqualink system that turns the pump back on after it powers back up.

Try it, just turn the breakers off to the Aqualink system and pump while the pump is in a scheduled run time. Then turn the breakers back on, the pump should start back up after a 15 to 20 second delay (as the Aqualink system takes some time to wake up again).

That's what my system does and I have essentially the same setup as you do.
