I currently have a timer on my Hayward super pump and it comes on using that. Can I still use the external timer or MUST I use the timer on the SP2600

Not to worry. You can control the spv with an external timer. It just powers up to speed3 then times internally to speed 1 then times again. U will now have the pumps timers under the control of your external. I also use it with an external timer. No problem.

We were disappointed as well to learn that we could not program this pump! Is there a way to add a timer to this unit? We purchased a home with an existing Pentair which was failing and our pool inspector did not inform us of any of the issues with our pool. So, now $6000 into our pool, we are still learning by trial and error. Can we add an external timer? PS. Can anyone recommend a good site to teach us about the pool chemicals we have to add? Thanks in advance!

Yes you can use your external timer to control the pump. The pump will start in the prime mode speed and run for the time you designate at the SP2600. It will then move to speed setting V3 and run for as many hours as you program it for up to 12 hrs. It will then move to the V1 speed and run until power is cycled. Each speed, V1, V3, V2 can be set for any speed. When your external timer cycles the power off and then back on, the whole process resets and starts over. I run mine 2 minutes at 3000 RPM for prime, 10 hrs on V3 at 1520 RPM using 210 watts and have V1 set for 1520 RPM in case my freezestat needs the pump to run all night.

The timer on the pump does not perform an on/off function (there is only a manual on/off button). The controls on the pump only control desired rpm and runtime for 3 easily programmable buttons. Once the pump starts it goes to program1 rpm and runs for the specified time, switches to program2 rpm and time then switches to program3 rpm...and stays indefinitely until there is a manual stop or power interruption (timer, etc). An external timer must be used to perform scheduled run times. I do not have a cover and keep my pool open year round. I recently had a motor failure on my 1.5 superpump and decided to upgrade to the VS once I ran the simple math and convinced myself of the payback period. I have my pump controlled by an intermatic pf1102t (note: previously had no timer). Now I only run the pump in winter below freezing temp, and at min flow...before I was forced to run a 1.5 pump. I'm extremely satisfied with the new setup and enjoy saving $$$. Do the math, buy a VS...and definitely keep your timer.

No, use the Connection ribbon that came with the timer. As a additional note. Power failures and surges shorted two of my timers. I have since installed a Surge Protecting receptacle.

Yes you can. I have four of these timers and have never had any problems with them.

not 100% sure but the unit does not work without anything plugged into it. The timer functions when something is plugged into it. With nothing plugged in, there's nothing to turn on and off. Might want to contact the manufacturer. BTW, mine is working great. Using it to turn a pond pump off/on throughout the day to save on electricity. I know that doesn't answer your question but thought I'd throw it in anyway :)))

The nice thing is the brass fittings are the same threads. It just unscrews (hold the outer brass ring keep the top brass fitting in-place and turn). Be careful to make sure the new rubber gasket is set properly, so you don't cut it. You don't need a timer--I just bought a grounded timer at one of many stores and use it to turn on the circulating pump a bit before my wife intends to use hot water (she has a firm schedule). Some timers can be set to go on/off several times a day. I thought the timer was a good idea, since there's no reason for hot water to be circulating through the house (i.e., heating the house and using energy from the water heater) if we didn't need it. The replacements come with a "flow dial". I called the company and they said the high setting is equivalent to the standard/set setting on the old pumps, so that's where mine is.

I have never use thise machin with no sorts of timer. Have no problem at all about pump getting hot . This clone king is working perfectly fine to mi.

I suppose whether it is an outdoor fountain or an indoor fountain it doesn't matter. The key factor is the amps. It is capable of drawing 15 amps. Pumps typically are lower than this, so it should be just fine. I run 2 small pumps simultaneously with mine. I'd not expose this timer to water. I'd put the timer in a dry place then run the cord to the pump.

Unfortunately, no. You can't even use an external timer since the only on-off control is a toggle pushbutton. We have to remember to turn it on about 2 hours before retiring.It feels so good to get into a warm bed that we rarely forget.

I have two of these timers installed. One on main pool pump and one on the Polaris pump. About 3 years of trouble free service so far. Easy to install and program. Replaced the old style mechanical timers (Intermatic 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switch). I prefer the digital unit. Time will tell on reliability. Intermatic 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switches I replaced did last 25 years and are a little cheaper. If you are replacing also Intermatic units, carefully label the wires with before unhooking. Helps assure the new install proceeds smoothly and safely.

It's possible that you could connect all the zone control outputs and your pump relay together. This would create an "OR" circuit (either zone1 OR zone2 Or zone3, etc, coming on would also activate your pump). However, I don't know if the Timer circuit would be damaged. The safe way requires a simple electronic OR circuit that samples each zone output (it's 24 or 28 VAC) and inputs to a relay or solid state switch that controls the same voltage applied to the pump relay. Of course you would have to know if the relay handles that voltage and if the current draw is comparable to that which the zone solenoids pull. From the nature of your question I expect that you may have no idea how to do this.

The normal way to control this pump is to apply and remove power to/from it by an external timer. The pump will remember all the speed program that you've given it. It will start in prime mode and then cycle through the V1/V2/V3 per previous programming.

I'm wondering if you ever found out if this will replace the Hayward SP1607Z1M? We need to replace this same motor. If not what did you end up getting?

this one has a built in timer, my preivious one did not, so we actually had it set up on a separate timer with the pump filter. But yes, this model does come with a built in timer, which is convenient

There is no timer built into the unit. I have mine wired to run whenever the main water pump runs. Its wired through the same pressure switch that turns on the pump.

Ronald Use A 1.5 HP. The Hayward Pump SP2610X15.It Self Primes.Very Easy To Install.It Is 120 And 230 volt You Can Hook It Up Either Way.Hayward Calls This The Super Pump,And It Is. Nelson .Arizona.

It will flash depending on your setting. u dont really need to turn it off or unscrew it if its already installed. this is the link to an online manual which basically states the same told below.http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Westek-SLC6CFL-timer-instructions.pdf

Comes on automatically since you have all the settings set up. I have it connected to a timer...when the timer turn son it turns on the pool pump and the Hayward. Same principal if you have a power outage.
