Setting run time for Circupool RJ60+ with VS Pump.

[Brendonwbrown]

I just upgraded my pump motor for the Century VGreen EVO.

My SWG and Pump are wired to the same timer - VS pump runs on Schedule 1 for 12 hours, then timer switches off. Plan was simply to run the SWG on as low as needed all 12 hours.

Unfortunately my flow switch is on a bit of an incline - there was no way around it - so toward middle of the VS pump schedule, 1750rpm is enough to throw the flow switch, but the Salt Cell only gets enough water to half fill and throws some errors, increasing the likelihood of early burnout/explosive failure.

Is there a way on the Circupool control unit to limit the run hours?

Reading through the Troubleshooting Guide now, it may be enough to invert the cell?

The lump on the cell needs to aim toward the ground.

No - SWCGs are dumb.

Post up some pictures of your equipment pad if inverting the cell doesn't work.
I assume you have a heater? 1750 rpm is quite a bit more than I'd expect to keep a flow switch happy.

Agreed, mine can go way lower than that.

Your pump has an internal timer. You can wire the pump to have constant voltage and then use the external timer to control the swg. The scheduling on that pump is somewhat limited but if you can find a schedule that suits you then you can decide how long and when to run the swg with your external timer. Be aware that you need to occasionally make sure the external timer is synced to the pump clock.

Reporting back in. Inverting the cell was enough to keep the pressure up, the cell full and the SWGC happy. Thanks all!

Exactly how mine is set up
