Breakers to turn everything off?

[SanibelBlue]

Good afternoon,
I‘m having some tile replaced tomorrow morning so need to lower the water level tonight. My pool comes on every morning at 7 and the booster pump runs from 9-11 for the vacuum to run. I am wondering if I can just turn off the two/three black breakers (bottom left) on my easytouch and will that ensure nothing runs tomorrow while the repairs are being done? I don’t know if I need to do anything with the low voltage circuits on the top right. Also, if I can turn these off during this time, will all my settings still be set when I turn it back on?
Thank you for your help!!

Turning the duplex breaker (twin breakers that should be GFCI) will stop power to the pump without disturbing the rest of the system. If you turn all power off, you might lose a time setting, depending on how long it is off, but programming will not be lost.

Ok thank you so much! I don’t mind losing the time setting but everything else is out of my depth. I just want to make sure the booster pump doesn’t try to come on either. So I guess I’ll switch the black ones on the left off and leave the small low voltage ones on if that seems right? Thank you again!

You don't have to touch the small low voltage breakers.

What I would do is simply put the EasyTouch into Service Mode while everything is off. Nothing will turn on or off automatically in that mode.

Oh that’s awesome! I’ll do that! Thank you!!!!

One question on the service mode— is that for 24 hours or is it permanently off until I put it back into auto mode? Thank you!

Service mode remains until you manually return to Auto mode. There is also a Timeout mode which is Service Mode on a fixed 3 hour timer, which you don't want.
