GENERAL INFORMATION

Many of today’s energy efficient pools and spas utilize the benefits of the two stage water circulation
principal. For example, while the daily cleaning process requires high pressure and fast turnover of a
large amount of water in the morning, the
heating, either by the sun or a heater, is more
energy efficient on a slower flow rate during the
day. Also, some of the new water sanitation
techniques require longer dispensing time of
ozone or chemicals.

The most economical way to operate a pool or
spa is by the use of a two speed filter pump,
together with this reliable, simple to install,
simple to operate Two Speed Pump Control.

This Control is designed to automatically
operate a two speed pump on a daily schedule.
The all-weather enclosure contains two heavy
duty, industrial grade time switches. In addition,
the enclosure has a provision to install switches
or a GFCI receptacle on the side as well as
inside the enclosure.

pump and the time switch on the left is for
changing the speed (RPM) of the pump while it
is running.

1. Remove the four #10 hex head screws from the
back of the enclosure and attach mounting brackets

to enclosure.

2. Select the proper location for the Control and hang
enclosure on a flat vertical surface or other support,
using hardware suitable for the purpose.

3. Prepare the necessary conduit runs, terminate them
at both ends and pull-in the conductors as specified
by the installation layout.

7. If external bonding is required, install bonding lug(s)

on bottom of enclosure (156T11047A may be
ordered) and bond installation according to code

requirements.

8. Testing of the installation is optional and

recommended only if pump is securely in place
and will not be damaged by the following test:
a. Turn the manual level of the time switches to OFF.
b. Turn ON power at breaker panel.
c. Move the manual lever of T104M to the right (ON).

Pump should start and run on low speed.

d. Move the manual lever of T106M to the right (ON).

Pump should now be running on high speed.

e. Move the manual lever of T104M to the left (OFF).

Pump should stop running.

In case of unsatisfactory results, turn OFF power,
check your wiring, refer to Troubleshooting on Page 4.

9. Install front panel over wiring compartment.

The control is now ready for programming,

The dials turn in synchronous speed and make exactly
one revolution in 24 hours. The trippers placed on the
dial on the right will set the start and stop time of
pump operation while the
trippers on the left side dial will set the time
the pump will change speed.

Setting a schedule is easy:

1. Set Time of Day on both time switches by

pulling out, then turning yellow dials until
Time-Of-Day lines up with pointer.

2. Set Start (ON tripper) and Stop (OFF tripper)
