For one speed pumps, this is the first filter timeclock and will determine the normal hours of filtration for
the pool. For pool/spa combination systems with spillover enabled, the valves will automatically
switch to spillover mode at the start of the filtration period. For all other systems, the valves will switch
to the pool-only position. Refer to the text above for general notes regarding timeclock programming.
For two speed or variable speed pumps, this setting will be the period of time when the pump runs at
high speed (the word “Filter T1” in the display will be replaced with “Hi T1”, and “Filter T3” will be
replaced with “Hi T3”). There is a separate timeclock for the low speed operation (see “Filter T2”
below). If the high speed and low speed periods overlap, then the pump will operate in low speed
during the overlap period.
There are several reasons the filter pump may be running at times other than the timeclock period set
above. These include super-chlorination, spa operation, manual operation, heater cooldown, freeze
protection and “solar-extend”.
For one speed pumps, this is the second filter timeclock.
For two speed or variable speed pumps, this timeclock will set the normal time period for filter pump
low speed operation (the word “Filter T2” in the display will be replaced with “Lo T1”, and “Filter T4”
will be replaced with “Lo T4”). If the filter pump was off prior to the start of this time period, the filter
pump will first turn on at high speed for 3 minutes to prime and establish water flow. Afterwards, it will
drop down to low speed for the remainder of the programmed low speed time period. While this time
clock will override the high speed timeclock (see above), there are several reasons why the pump will
automatically switch to high speed operation during this programmed time period. These include
manual operation, spa operation, or heating operation. Refer to page 9 for general notes regarding
timeclock programming.
This menu is only available if the system has been setup for “pool and spa”. Only one timeclock is
available for Spa operation. During the programmed spa time, the OnCommand will turn on the filter
pump and move the pool/spa valves into the “spa-only” position. The heater will automatically heat
the spa up to the programmed spa temperature (page 6). This programmed spa operation will take
precedence over all other automatic functions and only manual operation of the filter button or pool/
spa valve button will override this function.
If your pool has a separate jet pump or blower controlled by Aux1 and/or Aux2 , you will have to
program those separately (see page 11).

Solar
If the solar control logic is “Enabled”, several additional steps must be taken to ensure proper operation
of the solar system. If the solar is operated by a valve, then the Valve3 output must be setup for solar
logic. If the solar is operated by a pump, then one of the AUX relays must be set up for solar logic.
Also, the “solar” temperature sensor must be installed. This sensor is typically mounted near the
collector array and is used to sense whether sufficient solar heat is available.
If solar is “Enabled”, the valve or solar pump relay will turn on when the water temperature is less than
the desired temperature setting AND the solar sensor is hotter than the water. The desired temperature
is in the “Settings Menu”. If applicable, the homeowner will be prompted to enter separate pool and
spa desired temperature settings. Depending on the position of the pool/spa suction valve, the
proper temperature setting will be used.
Solar Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off time if
solar heat is still available. When solar heat is no longer available, both the solar valve/pump and filter
pump will turn off simultaneously. Solar extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only
delay the turn off time when solar is operating.
Solar Priority
If both “Solar Control” and “Heater Control” are enabled, the Solar Priority feature will keep the
conventional heater off whenever solar heat is available. This provides the most cost effective way of
heating the pool. When solar heat is not available, the conventional heater will operate normally.
Allow Low Speed
This menu only appears if the pool filter is configured for 2-speed or variable speed operation. During
default operation, high speed mode is used whenever the solar heater is on. If Allow Low Speed is
enabled, low speed pump operation will be allowed during solar heating except for the first 3 minutes
after solar heat turns on.
