I don't know about that question, the manual will tell you that. Most come from the factory with a few seconds of full speed for priming before they settle down to whatever speed you have programmed.
It's usually the reverse where it goes straight to the priming speed and then after the preset time reverts to the set speed. Why would you want it to ramp up ? If the pump basket dropped a bit the slow speed may do nothing to get the pump to prime.
To answer the question, on Calimar pumps the high speed prime can be set to run anytime the pump starts for 0-7 minutes. This is in addition to your regularly scheduled programming.
Not sure why you’d want to run it slow first. If you’re concerned about water hammer, that’s a non issue because these are all soft start. That being said you can program this manually into the schedule by programming a short cycle into the Speed 1 slot. Takes up a timer slot, but you can set it by the minute.

Its because of the way i have an auto valve setup for the spa.
The valve turns once it detects power from the pump.
It takes about 2-3 seconds for the valve to fully turn to the spa position. In that 2-3 seconds the spa pump is returning water to the pool.
So if i can stay in a low speed for a short time, it would minimize the water pulled from the spa to the pool.
Ended up getting a
Now i will use the Hayward pump for the Spa.
I may end up getting the Calimar as well and then swap out the Hayward pump for the pool.
Hayward - W3SP3206VSP TriStar Variable Speed Pool Pump, 2.7 THP, 115/230V
From a local Leslie Pools.Now i will use the Hayward pump for the Spa.

The Calimar is basically out of stock everywhere now. With no ETA. And i dont like ordering things like that.
My Spa pump was getting on my nerves because sometimes it would go and sometimes not.
It was sucking air from the strainer cover even after i replaced the cover and seal.
And my local store having the hayward in stock sealed the deal.
Yes but kinda makes sense because the Calimar pumps are made in China.
I made a new thread on it.
But i am just not understanding how i can wire in the W3SP320VSP pump correctly so it can be controlled from the prologic...
If anyone on this thread has any input on this.. Please help
