How To: Program A Hayward Super Pump VS 

For young people too. This thing was designed by some of the most incompetent engineers ever. Such a poor, unfriendly design. It's a terrible user experience.

Trust me I’m 24 nd I’m lost as well

I agree…mine brand new installed yesterday and today display went off and can’t get it back on…

Came here to ask the same question.

Something this video and other videos, and even other boards don’t tell you is to turn a timer off. For example, if you have more than one timer, set to turn any timer off, set the start and stop times to the same exact time for example 3 AM start 3 AM stop and that will turn the timer off.

Go into your timers menu to the Timer you want "Off" Set your End Time to the same as your Start Time then press Menu. After you press menu the timer should read "Off"

@@danajustice9536 I FEEL LIK THE TIMER IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THIS PUMP AND HEYWARD SEEMS TO BE CLOSED UNTIL WEDNESDAY "DUE TO THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY" BUT EVEN TODAY THATS A DAY BEFORE SO I CANT ASK THEM

Glad you liked it!

You're welcome!

You’re welcome 😊

Awesome!

You're welcome!

You're welcome. Glad we could help.

You're welcome! Happy to help.

Glad it was helpful!

Maximum speed settings are really dependent upon the pool and pump. For example, I have a 1.5HP VS pump with a cartridge filter that can handle 120 gpm. Running the pump at full speed does not damage anything. However, if you have a 2.7VS pump with 1.5" plumbing and a filter that can only handle 80 gpm, you may have issues. My recommendation would be to add a simple flow meter to the plumbing. That way you can determine how many gallons per minute are created at each speed. Then you can look at the flow rate of your filter and pop-ups and select the appropriate speed setting. This may not be exactly the answer you wanted, but with pools there are so many variables.

Glad it helped!

Thank you!

You can press the Quick Clean button while the pump is running. It will automatically switch to the Quick Clean speed.

The speed button would override the programmed speed within that schedule. It would still turn off at the scheduled time and the next time the pump turns on, it will revert back to the original programmed speed.

Happy to help!

You bet!

Donna you need to have your pump run on a high, medium and low speed through the day. The real answer depends on how big your pool is and the equipment. Roughing it though I’d say you should have 3 hours on the high, 9hours medium then then the remaining 12 hours on low. That high speed allows for water movement and what ever sanitation you use to get through the pool, along with the medium speed. Good luck, sorry for your loss

I checked the manual for this feature but couldn't find anything resembling this function. The Quick Clean feature tops out at 60 minutes; you can't alter the runtime. You may need to adjust one of the presets to run the desired RPM and schedule length.

Happy to help!

How old is your pump/motor?

Thank you! First, ask your pool tech what the estimated 'feet of head' of the system is because the W3SP2303VS should be enough for most 15k gallon pools. The feet of head is the measurement of plumbing resistance that your pump would need to overcome to prime itself and pump water. Most pools are in the medium-head category

@@Inyopools Thank you . What would be an ideal figure for this pump ?

If you need the pump to run for a short period, the Quick Clean feature will do that without requiring you to change any scheduling

@@Inyopools Ok, so if I want to crank up the spa on the late night after the day cycle is completed, I can simply on/off the pump using the "Quick Clean" button?

The button labeled "STOP/RESUME" that'd be the button you're looking for.

Note: When start/stop times are set to be the same, the timer is deactivated.

did you get a reply for turning off timer. i have the same question.

Did you get an answer here? I am trying to run my pump continuously for a few hours but don’t want to delete timers

Did you ever get and answer for this? My pump is programed to shutdown at 6pm sometimes we want to use it outside of the programed hours but I don't know how to manually turn it on without changing the timer. There has to be an on/off button somewhere on this pump.

Looking for the same thing

Press "Quick Clean" to run for 60 minutes, then again for each 60 minute duration you want.

Or you can use your speed 1 2 3 or 4 settings you adjust those to run for a certain period of time at that speed

Water could have shorted the board or failed due to sun exposure being the usual culprit. If your pump is still under warranty, Hayward should replace that free of charge.

Poor guy! These Hayward pumps are trash!

No problems so far! What’s going on with yours?

There's no one-time setting button or mode for a maintenance scenario like that.

I don't believe you can schedule a quick clean; it must be initiated manually.

did you get an answer to this? I have the same question.

I don't believe you can adjust the speed on quick clean..just the hours up to 4 hours I believe

The written instructions say that whatever your maximum speed is set at is what the quick clean setting will use

There's no 24-hour override on this model like the Century V-Green. Your best option is to alter one of your schedules to run the desired clean cycle speed.

Found out I could select Speed 3 and it ran all night until timer 1 started. Thanks

Still would like to know how to remove, turn off a timer

When Low Temp Mode is activated the pump will run at the Max Allowed Speed for 8 hours. If the temperature is still at or below the Low Temp Setting at the end of the 8-hour cycle, it will begin again.

Press the Quick Clean button for a one-hour cycle. You'd have to adjust your schedules to get the pump to run for longer.

The low temp run speed will default to the Max allowed speed. There isn't currently a way to change the RPM specifically for the low temperature feature. If you don't have a need for the Max to be 3450, you can drop that RPM setting.

@@Inyopools Thanks. My pool tech guy said we (Tucsonians) don't need to Enable the low temp setting due to the fact that the pipe is 2.5" dia., and the cold spells don't last long enough. So for now I just disabled it.

You can set the pump schedule to run for 24 hours a day just as you would schedule the pump for any other run schedule.

Pick your speed and keep pressing it will add a half hour each push

That sounds like more of a circuitry concern than a pump problem. If you've tested the pump side's terminal lead and get no voltage readings, then I'd start at the breaker and work your way down. You could maybe try putting the pump on a different breaker to narrow down whether it is the breaker or the wiring.

Walk to the pump every time and hit the on/off button. Hook the pump circuit up to a light switch.

@@Inyopools I tried that on off I tried the quick clean. I cannot get this thing to turn on to back washed it, but it comes on with the timers just bought the house. Can’t find the manual to it or the remote control. Frustrating.

@@Inyopools thank you so much really appreciate your help

YO I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

I believe you set the time to midnight

You put the timer both timers back on 12pm and 12pm. It will automatically stop the timer.

How do I turn the timer off? Again how do you turn off the timer???? What a bad software design

You put the start time and the end time at the same time. For example: put your start time at 4:00p and your end time at 4:00p and it will then say “Off” remember to save your changes

You can schedule it do so by using the steps in the guide.
