Omnilogic - Option for heater to force pump on

Good morning. I have an OmniLogic panel and pump with a Hayward natural gas heater.

The omnilogic was installed last summer, and I absolutely love it ever since I hardwired the internet connection.

The issue I'm having is that the heater does not force a call for the pump to turn on. I only want the pump to run for 6 hours a day right now at night during low power rates.

However, I would like the heater to be able to override the pump schedule and turn on the pump when required to maintain temperature.

I haven't been able to find this setting.

Any help on this? I've gone through the manual top to bottom.

Thanks!
 
Welcome to TFP.

If you want to be able to turn on the filter pump automatically to maintain a desired temperature by flipping the heater on, you'll need enable "Heater Extend" in the OmniLogic's configuration.

thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. I was having trouble getting through the configuration to the actual settings, and finally found it. Now I'm trying to get this silly smart relay working properly.
