Hello all, what happens if SPA is turned on and runs past the pool schedule? Will it also go back to the pool settings or will it stay in the spa mode until the next scheduled event takes place. I have an egg for spa set to two hours and for some reason it did not turn off the spa and return to the pool. It just kept on running in the spa mode until I manually turned it off.
 
Red,

I am not sure... :(

If the pool is scheduled to run for 24 hours, then when you go into the spa mode, it should switch back to the pool mode after 2 hours due to the egg timer.

If the pool circuit is not on at all, and you turn on the spa, then the spa should shut off after 2 hours and then nothing will be on.

In your scenario, the pool is on when the spa is manually turned on, and then the pool shuts off before the 2 hour egg timer shuts off the spa, I would have 'assumed' that the spa would have shut off after 2 hours..

I assume that you are manually turning on the spa, and that the spa is never 'scheduled' to be on.. Is that correct?

I do know that if you manually turn on a Circuit that is also scheduled, that depending on when you do it, it can confuse the system and it will run until the next scheduled event.

Thanks,

Jim R.

You are correct, I manually turned the SPA on while pool was still on. Pool schedule ended but manual SPA kept going and needed manual OFF as it went past 2 EGG hours. Weird.
