I have a Century VGreen VS Pump that I used to replace my Hayward SuperPump when it died last summer (I replaced just the motor as everything else was still in good condition).
This year I have purchased a Aquarite SWG and need to install it.
Can I wire this directly to the pump, that way when the pump turns on, then that is the only time the SWG has power? Or do I need to purchase an external timer and wire both the pump and the SWG to the external timer?

On the main pump I have the "Mains Connection" and a "Communication Connection".
The "Mains Connection" is where I bring in my power from the GFCI breaker...
The "Communication Connection" there are 4 terminals marked +12v, A, B, COM and then some relay switches.

I have attached the 4 corresponding pages from the manual.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You cannot use those VGreen connections to power the SWG.

You need to have an external timer to remove power from the SWG when the pump is off.

It is better for the VGreen electronics to not be connected to the timer, only the SWG.
