SWG and Pop Ups on Same Return

The pump does not do anything if I turn it off. However when I turn the left hand timer on, with the right hand timer off (I'm doing all this manually) the pump does go to a low speed. So the left timer operates the lower speed. All that said I have to try and get my head around what you're saying is required.
It would be best to see a picture of the actual wiring to both timeclocks.

Sounds like you have two T104 timers and not a T106 and T104 like was described above.

I think with your setup you have to be careful not to have both timers on at the same time or you can fry your pump. I am not sure since we cannot see how they are wired.
ok, I went back and watched my video of start up day where he addresses those timers. Both have to be on all the time and trippers are only on the right. I have some trippers in a bag that was stuffed in that timer box.
Her PB did very few things the way it should be.

Better to be skeptical of everything that PB did.
I agree. That is why I am on here asking all this stuff because I feel the same way. I didn't but as time has gone on that has changed.

I just found these pins in the bottom of the box. I’m guessing these may be what I need. I’m going to take the cover off and show the wiring. I also have a 1 min video clip of him explaining those timer functions on the day of start up when he was showing everything to my husband and I but I don’t see how to get it loaded on here? Only photos it seems.

This is how it is wired.

The right timer is on and off and the left timer is high and low.

You can set these however you like.

Maybe set on off for 8 hours on per day to make chlorine and the high low to 1 hour on high for the cleaning function and the rest of the time go to low speed.

Does the salt system still work on low speed?

Do the in floor pop ups pop up on low speed?

I'll have to go out there to determine if the pop ups come on and the salt water system runs, I'm not sure.
James, I'm going to ask about why I have the pump that I do have (.75 HP) and not the waterfall pump they noted on plan I posted. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to either one?

The pop ups come up on low. The SWG does not come on when on low. I lose the reading on the box on the wall, because it’s off I assume. So if the SWG doesn't come on, how do I proceed so that we can use the 2 speed pump like you guys have suggested?

They can change the wiring to make the SWG work any time the pump is on in high or low speed.

The FHPM .75 runs at 3,450 rpm and it works best at about 30 to 45 feet of head loss or about 10 psi to about 15 psi and flow rates between 30 and 65 GPM. It uses about 1,000 to about 1,200 watts.


The waterfall pump runs at 1,750 RPM and gives better performance at low pressure high flow applications and it should be a lot quieter because it runs at half speed.

What are the details of the waterfall?

A waterfall pump is made specifically for waterfalls.
