Hey guys,
Just put in a new pool, I was the contractor so had to wire up all the automation myself. So maybe this is a newbie question! I have a Hseries hayward natural gas heater 350k, a hayward ecostar pump, and a Ecommand 4 with remote. I've tried to learn the complex menus in the ecommand and i've "enabled" the heater in spa mode and set the temp to 104. I've wired the pump and heater to the ecommand panel. So here's what happens when Push spa mode button.
1. Pump shuts down for 35 seconds
2. actuators turn to appropriate spa mode positions
3. Heater tries to turn on, with clicking, but eventually i get the LO error since no water is flowing since actuators are still turning and pump is off.
4. Pump starts up.
5. Pool is now is "spa" mode
6. heater never comes on due to "LO" error
So, I can see I can disable the pump from shutting off during the actuator/mode shift, and this I assume would fix the heater issue as there would be water flow. would this damage the valves over time? Surely there's a better way or something im missing, so that the heater comes on after spa mode is completely ready to go and pump is running again? Like a delay or something?
Heater works fine if i manually turn it on when not in bypass mode.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
