New Owner: Help w/ ScreenLogic Schedules

[SidKross]

I'm brand new to owning a pool; just bought a home with a pool. Good news is that the previous owners have taken fantastic care and I have a person who does pool maintenance weekly. Currently working on getting the Pentair ScreenLogic app (Android; Google Pixel phone) setup. Specifically the Schedules piece. And even more specifically the Pool circuit. The fields here don't really make sense to a layman like me and I was hoping you guys could help? I have been unable to find a guide/manual for the app.

1. Heat Command - what's the "Don't Change" option for?
2. What exactly is a "Set Point"? And what do the "Yes" and "Manual" options for "Change Heat Set Point" mean?
3. When I set a specific temp in the "Heat Set Point" how does this value get utilized?

Thank you all in advance!

Welcome to TFP.

It says to not let any schedules change the heat settings.

2. When I set a specific temp in the "Heat Set Point" how does this value get utilized?

Heat Set Point is the temperature you want the Pool/Spa to be heated to. The heater will run up to the Heat Set Point. And the heater will be turned on when the water temperature falls below the Heat Set Point.

EasyTouch/ScreenLogic: Heater runs when Spa schedule runs, even though heat command is Off

I'm trying to prevent my heater from turning on when my Spa schedule runs. Schedules on the EasyTouch are as follows: Pool mode (very low RPM) 21 hours/day, from 8pm until 5pm. Spillway mode twice a day during that time, for 20 minutes to freshen the spa water. Spa mode right after one of the...

This under SL Config. Easier is on the windows based program.

If you select Yes, heater is on all the time pump is. I use Don’t Change and manual, so if I want heater, I have to touch Heat on the ScreenLogic Connect app.

As said, much easier to set this up use the windows based program. Download it from Pentair website.

Sid,

If you use a PC to program or for control it will make more sense, because you can see the bigger picture..

Here is a ScreenShot of the scheduling page.

I use my PC 99% of the time and my phone only when I am helping TFP members with phone issues...
