Please help me schedule my Easytouch 8 with Pentair variable speed pump and spa spillway.
I want to run the pump every few hours for an hour at a time, rather than continually for a block of time. For example, 1 AM, 5 AM, 9 AM, 1 PM, 5 PM, 9 PM. I know how to do that.
Then I will add the cleaner (w/ booster pump) for a few of those... I've done that.
Here's where I need help: I want the spillway activated for 2 of those 6 hours, so I get fresh water into the connected spa. I've programmed the spillway for two different times. However, when the time arrives, the valve changes from pool to spa, which is correct and the pump light comes on the control panel, but the pump never actually starts.
Right now I have "Pool" scheduled for 4 of the 6 times (excluding 9 AM and 5 PM), "Cleaner" for 3 of the 6, and Spillway for 2 times (9 AM and 5 PM).
Do I need to schedule Pool for all 6 of the 6, to get the pump spinning, then activate the Spillway mode on top of 2 of those, just to turn the valve?
Thanks for your help
