Pool Pump Timer Setup Tutorial: Schedule Daily Run Times and Adjust RPMs

At Billy’s Pools, we believe pool care should be easy—and setting your pump timer is no exception. In this quick guide, we walk you through how to program your pool pump’s timer settings step-by-step.

To begin, press the menu button twice to access the timer settings. Use the plus button to make edits, keeping the timer name as is. The factory-set RPMs are often too low, so we recommend adjusting it to 2500 RPMs for optimal performance.

Next, scroll to set the start and stop times—in our example, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM—and apply this schedule for all 7 days of the week. Once done, press menu + plus to save your settings.

It’s that simple! Keeping your pump on a consistent schedule helps ensure clean, balanced water and efficient circulation. Watch our video for the full walk-through!
