I have a solid understanding of the programming flow in the omnilogic. the pool and spa share the VSP pump. My waterfalls are on a separate single speed pump connected to one of the high voltage relays. The VSP filter pump is set to pause during valve changeover in the filter pump settings. The waterfall is configured on the 1st body of water (pool). During Pool/Spa changeover the omnilogic is pausing the water feature pump also. There is no setting for whether or not you want this to happen when configuring the water feature pump. I just find it annoying that the water features pause and if possible would like to change it without shutting the setting off on the filter pump. I am open to reconfiguring the water feature setup in programming, changing relays etc.

I’ve combed the manual and configuration and couldn’t find a way around this either. I have a chiller that I tested as a water feature before moving to the new heat/cool functionality, and any valve change triggered the filter pump to shutdown during the change and then restart+prime, and also paused the chiller relay and waterfall pump.
The “Filter Pump Off for Valve Change” setting seems to be an all or nothing, global setting, with no option to specify a list of excluded pumps or relays. In my case, I reviewed my plumbing and was able to ultimately turn off this setting, as my filter pump will only deadhead for a second while the diverter walks through its turn between pool and spa.

At least I'm not crazy then and you ran into the same roadblock. I thought about changing the water feature programming that instead of a pump with connected to a relay to say it doesn't have its own pump then assign the relay to the next step in programming that asks if there is a relay for the feature. Hoping that by not saying it's a pump, it doesn't shut off but from your testing it seem it pauses all relays associated with features.
