Pump programming all done thanks to this video. Hayward instructions were not clear on simply pressing Menu multiple times to cycle to modes. Thanks.

Can you re-program the pump during a run cycle or do you have to wait until the cycle is complete?
I have attempted to “stop/resume” but the menu will not display?
I unplugged the unit and the pump defaulted to the initial program

Good video. I have a small pool for cooling off (in ground) nicely done. About 4500 gallons. I have this pump. Good pump. Do I really need to run this continuously or running it once or twice or three times per day would suffice. This is a powerful pump and I am sure it circulates my small pool rapidly. How long would suffice? What say you? Also, anyone is welcome to respond and give me their pro opinion. I don't like to waste money but also will do what is needed.

I can save all settings except for time and day, pressing menu goes back to main after I set day and time, no confirm changes pops up and goes back to main screen with 0:00 as the time. Any idea what the issue may be. Tried cycling power, did not help.

Why cant i just manually turn it on? I have to wait for the scheduled time?

If my system has a timer from previous pump can I just leave it on

Great Video ! A big help in programming our new Hayward Pump. Thank You !

I upgraded my system with the retro fit kit to Omni Logic. I get a commutation error and nothing on the pump display. I verified I have 240 V at the pump terminals. I’m not sure if the display had been out or if it has to do with the upgrade board I installed. Should that pump display light up with power only or could it be a low voltage signal problem?

My new Tri Star turns on at 34 degrees and runs at the highest speed and will not turn off after temp is over 40 degrees even after 8 hours, My Eco Star allowed more settings. How can I lower the speed setting & get it to turn off in Low- Temp on?

Video helped me program my pump so thanks.

Morning Timer1 is set to 3250rpm. Evening Timer2 is set to 2700rpm. What determines the watts that will be used during the hours the pump goes on? The very few times I've looked at the watts being used when the pump is on vary from 5watts to 2499watts. There are other wattage numbers in between but I cannot recall exactly what they are. Should the watts be consistent for each timer or do they fluctuate depending on something? Thx.

Confirmed with Hayward via email that the internal programming memory lasts 3 weeks if a loss of power occurs. This will allow me to keep my old mechanical timer to stay installed, with setting its time off & on as close together as possible. Have a Tristar W3SP3202 VSP model.

How would you set the speed display to off on the tristar ?

[pjkellogg]

My Hayward Tri star 1.85 hp display panel has gone off and I can’t get it back on..brand new installed yesterday..trying to unlock and program today and it just stopped…throwing power breaker off and on did nothing..THANKS

[handymanbrian]

if 240v power is stopped to pump, will it hold the last settings?

[MSPoolsLawns]

Is there a way to program the “quick clean” button to run longer than 1 hr?

[emtzjr]

How would you “turn off” timer 2 after it is programmed?

[kristinbowman]

I programmed the times thanks to this video but I have 2 follow up questions:
1. How do I reset the entire timing system? I have 5 programmed speeds but I’d like 1 or 2
2. How do I run the pump for 24 hours for a day? I need to shock the pool and run the pump, but can’t figure out how to get it to run that long

[PabloCubarle]

how to turn off a program or timer. only can turn on but not off. frustrating :/

[debrairizarry]

How do we set timer to run for 24 hrs?
