Hello,
I’ve got a Hayward Prologic Controller with a Hayward Max Flo. The problem I sometimes see is that if you press the filter button (turns the pump on/off) too close together, then sometimes the pump receives power (indicated by the main power button lighting up) but the button simply flashes and the pump is not actually on. My question is: how do I make sure I allow enough time between pool/spa mode switching that the pump always turns on?
From reading the Max Flo documentation, it seems like the manufacturer suggests some kind of delay like 30 seconds between turning off and turning on.
To make matters more complicated, the freeze protection turns on and is moving between spa and pool mode. It was working fine mostly but when I woke up this morning, the pump was flashing, filter button on, but the pump wasn’t actually running. Soon as I press the button, it started and all was well (thankfully). It’s been running great (moving between pool and spa) ever since. I’m concerned that the same thing will happen again in the next 24hrs (presumably when I’m sleeping) and I dont want anything to freeze up.
I’ve confirmed as much that the intervals are setup properly on the XE pump itself and the controller simply treats the pump as a single speed pump.
What I’m trying to find out is how do I add delay for when the Prologic Controller is switching between pool and spa mode, such that I allow > 30 seconds so the XE pump will always turn on? I have the Prologic manual and been reading and searching and I’m coming up empty.
Thank you for your help or suggestions.
