How to Set a Pool Pump Timer for Daily Circulation: Step-by-Step Guide

Why Setting Your Pool Timer Matters

Your pool pump is the heart of your circulation system. Running it at the right times helps:

• Distribute chemicals evenly
• Prevent algae growth
• Save on energy costs by avoiding unnecessary run times

A properly set timer ensures the pump runs during optimal hours, keeping your water clean and balanced.

Step-by-Step: How to Set Your Pool Pump Timer

1. Access the Settings Menu
   Press the Menu button twice to enter the timer setup screen.
2. Select and Edit the Timer
   Use the Plus button to make changes. Keep the timer name as is.
3. Adjust RPM Settings
   Factory defaults are often low. We recommend setting your pump to 2500 RPMs for balanced efficiency and flow.
4. Set Your Schedule
   Choose a start time of 7:00 AM and an end time of 10:00 PM.
5. Apply for All 7 Days
   Make sure this run schedule is active daily for consistent circulation.
6. Save Your Settings
   Press Menu + Plus to save and exit. You’re all set!
