New Autopilot

[Poolsean]

Sounds like it programmed properly. High speed should come on between 10:15 to 1:15, with low speed running the rest of the time...yes, 24 hrs/day.

To control the system where it's not running 24 hrs/day, you can connect the Pool Pilot to your existing time clock so that you can limit the pump operation. Simply wire the main incoming power wires from the Pool Pilot to the LOAD side (time clock acts like a "switch" to send power to the Pool Pilot) of your time clock, rather than LINE side (always powered on from your circuit breaker). Then you can set the overall pump run time on your external time clock. The Digital will retain the pump high speed/low speed settings via an internal battery back up for the memory. Just leave the programming where it is.
THEN, your external time clock will automatically turn the pump on low speed, the Digital program will activate High Speed, and you can manually shut the pump off as needed.


You do not need to program the second Pump Program mode.

WOW, I hope I didn't confuse you more.

Sweet! thanks Sean! I'll do that Friday when I'm off work so check back then if I have more questions, haha. And I leave the Autopilot set on "2 speed pump" and not change it to "external timer"?

Yes, leave it in two speed mode.
