EasyTouch adds 10 minute shutoff delay

[Rocket J Squirrel]

My EasyTouch 8 is scheduled to turn off the pump at 4:00 pm daily. Every day, it remains running until 4:10 with DEL showing in the display. I have no circuits running (or recently run) other than Pool. Occasionally Solar kicks in. I can't figure out why I have this unwanted 10 minute delay every day. I'm pretty sure it didn't do this last season.

Hey Squirrel, it sounds like maybe you have the cooldown delay enabled?

take a look at Menu > Settings > Delays and see if any of the valves have Cooldown turned on

Cooldown delay is enabled and Valve delay is disabled. I thought Cooldown only applied to the gas heater, which has not been running at all.

I experienced the same thing when I had the cooldown setting enabled and ended up disabling it. I noticed it when I manually turned on the pool circuit briefly to check out some equipment and then it wouldn't turn off. It took me a while to notice the DEL on the screen. I have solar as well. Solar was enabled but never activated during the brief runs since it was in the evening.

I apparently thought wrong. I exchanged emails with a Pentair rep , who said

The heater cool delay is not a bug, that’s intentional and will keep the pump running 10 minutes after whether the heater was on or not.

I experienced the same thing when I had the cooldown setting enabled and ended up disabling it.

Yep, apparently they all do that. I also disabled the delay on mine.
