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
“Filter Lo”). 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 10 for general notes regarding timeclock programming.
This menu is only available if the system has been setup for “pool and spa”. During the
programmed spa time, the ECOMMAND 4 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, 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 12).
This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for timeclock. The lights will turn on
and off at the designated times. The only override on this function is manual on/off control
by the “Lights” button.
This menu will appear only if the Lights are configured for countdown timer. This setting is
the time after you manually turn on the lights until the ECOMMAND 4 automatically turns
off the lights. You can also manually turn off the lights at an earlier time by pressing the
LIGHTS button. If the Lights relay is on during the programmed off time, it may be because
of freeze protection.

Heater Cooldown
This feature ensures that the heater cools down before water circulation is stopped. When
enabled, the ECOMMAND 4 will continue to run the filter pump for 5 minutes after the heater
turns off. During this period the filter pump LED will flash and also a “Heater Cooldown,
X:XX remaining” message will scroll on the display.
When the filter pump is running and the heater is on: Pressing the “Filter” button once will
cause the heater to turn off, but the filter pump will continue to run for heater cooldown (filter
LED flashing and message on display). Pushing the filter button a second time will override
the heater cooldown operation and turn the filter pump off.
Heater Extend
If “Enabled”, the filter extend logic keeps the filter pump running beyond the normal turn-off
time until the pool (or spa) is heated up to the desired temperature setting (see Settings
Menu). Heater extend will NOT cause the filter pump to turn on, it will only delay the turn
off time when the heater is operating.
Allow Low Speed
This menu only appears if the filter is configured for 2-speed or variable speed operation.
During default operation, high speed mode is used whenever the heater is on. If Allow Low
Speed is enabled, low speed will be allowed even if the heater is on.

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.
