My pool is now 10 years old. It came with the EasyTouch system at the time (the remote is P4HEASYTOUCH2A and Model520546-520547). The pool came with a spa, Pentair pool lights and spa lights, an IC-40 SWG and solar heat. It also came with Blue Square popup cleaners (both pool and spa on same system). Everything works - the problem is with the programming. The "experts" who built this pool didn't program a "Cleaner" mode and never told me that such a mode exists. The only way I found this out was that I finally found a pool guy who knows equipment and changed out some check valves and O-rings for the valves. That got rid of a bunch of problems, but he also noticed that my popups simply circulate water full time. He told me that there ought to be a Cleaner mode to make them work properly but he doesn't do programming stuff (he also told me that the popups were leaking and needed new O-rings, something else nobody else ever told me). So I got busy and replaced the O-rings myself, which went well, and then looked into setting the EasyTouch for Cleaner mode. Before I touched it, I watched a very long video on this subject and it sounded so simple, just open "Schedules" and then set timing for "Cleaner." This is the video I watched. The part I was trying to do is around 35 minutes in the video:
The video suggested that Pool and Cleaner should overlap so the SWG runs all day. That sounded good, but when I tried to do what they did in the video, I found out that there IS no "Cleaner" mode on my EasyTouch remote! Nor is there any such button on the wall unit. There are dozens of "Circuits" but none marked "Cleaner." Maybe the people who built the pool deleted it for some reason? Frustrated, I picked a circuit called "POOL SAM" that had no programs set. According to google, "POOL SAM" would be for programming my pool lights, but I don't want or need to do that -- so, figuring that was just a name that didn't apply, I created a program using POOL SAM and scheduled it as if it was "Cleaner" mode, scheduling the pump to come on at high speed (2850 rpm) when POOL SAM was scheduled. This showed up under the pump speeds as another mode like pool, spa, freeze and solar.
The pump was supposed to come on this morning at 8:00 under "POOL SAM" and run at high speed through the popups for 3 hours, then revert to the low-speed "Pool" mode for the rest of the day. Instead, the motor came on normally at low speed this morning at 8:00 ... and the AIR BLOWER for the spa came on! Everything else was normal. Even if POOL SAM wasn't going to work as my Cleaner mode, it doesn't make sense how a circuit intended for lights somehow turned on my spa's air blower come on? POOL SAM is supposed to be something related to lights, not the air blower! Anyway, I turned off the air blower and deleted the POOL SAM settings. Now I am back where I began - no "Cleaner" mode. The pool simply runs the same speed all the time, 2000 rpm I believe.
This is super irritating because this is a "variable speed" pump and it has NEVER worked as a variable speed pump in the last decade, and NONE of the "professionals" who have serviced the equipment or that I've talked to have ever attempted to fix the programming or given me any clue about how to program it myself so it works. How can I fix this myself? It would be nice to have the SWG run while in Cleaner mode, but that seems pretty much impossible. Can I just create a second Pool mode so the pump at least will at high speed from 8-11 and then at low speed from 11:01-5:00? Will that accomplish my purpose? And what are proper pump speeds for Pool and Cleaner?
You people are the only ones who ever know anything. Thank you for all the help.

In my case, it is the gift that keeps on giving..
