The prologic control unit will not offer programming for what you seek. the most detailed timers will offer weekday or weekend for each pump speed. you may want to get a remote system so you can control functions from your smartphone

You have either a bad or stuck gear box or a loose or damaged a frame bearing. The gear box controls turning and the a frame controls propulsion, but one bad bearing will cause the cleaner to move more in one direction, causing the hose to coil. You can hold the cleaner under the water by the top of the hose, and it should turn in all directions within a few minutes. If it doesn't, then it is the gearbox. If it does, then likely a problem with the a frames.

Check all of the following. Ones of these issues is probably causing your pool cleaner to go in circles. Let me know if these soultions don't work and I will be glad to offer more solutions, but I a think one of these might solve your problem:

1. You might not have proper water flow. Too much or too little pressure will cause this to happen. Check the pressure with your flow gauge and adjust if necessary.

2. Check for a partial blockage of the navigator throat. If you have a blockage, it could disrupt the movement of your cleaner. Clear blockage if necessary.

3. Check the shoes and wings. Damage or wear to them can disrupt your patterns of cleaning. If you notice that your shoes or wings are worn, replace them to correct the problem.

4. Check to make sure that your hose is not twisted. It should be clear of kinks, twists, and knots. Untangle if necessary. Laying the hose out in the sun will make it more pliable and easier to untangle if you need to do this.

5. Other things that could cause steering issues: check and clean the rear screen, check to see that the cone gear is is free and rotates smoothly, clean/replace/repair gear box, check pod connection, and check turbine and spindle assembly.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need clarification or additional help!

How do I turn off the timer on my pool pump so it won't come on

if you are using a hayward control panel, either change the timer or push the 'service' button once. if it is a seperate timer, turn off the breaker to the timer

Pool pump breaker tripping

1) Not likely the timer is problem, unless there was fire or overheating in timer box. Use nose and eyes to inspect for signs of high heat.

2) Eliminate timer as suspect:
Move wires on timer to test if timer relays have gone bad.
Move terminal 4 to terminal 3
Move terminal 2 to terminal 1
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-T104-Intermatic-timer.html#T104

3) Check watt rating of Hayward pump, and voltage.
1Hp motor at 240Volt draws 8 amp, and can draw 6 to 8 times that amount when starting. Up to 100 feet, should be at least 12 gauge wire and double-pole 20 amp breaker. Over 100 feet, 10 gauge wire and 30 amp double-pole breaker is best.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Color-codewire.html#motor

4) Intermatic T104 240V timer is rated 40 amps
Can safely handle 1 Hp motor without nearing heat-rating capacity of timer

5) Make sure the motor is wired correctly for 240Volts.
If motor is wired for 120, and 240 is applied, then tripped breaker can result.

Programming to command other switches

Question is not clear.
Add a comment and say specifically what timer you have and what type of switch(es) you want to control, and add what voltage you are working with and what color wires you have.

You posted under Leviton 6230 30-minute countdown timer.
Generally, a countdown timer is not considered a programmable timer since the countdown program is already inside the timer.
With countdown timer, you push a button that turns circuit ON, and after countdown expires, the circuit turns OFF.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Countdown-timer-horsepower-ratings.html#6230

Countdown timer can easily switch a contactor ON, and then turn it off after countdown expires.

Pool pump cannot be turned off with timer switch. Pump runs constantly. I can turn off with breaker switch but not with switch on timer.

You posted under Intermatic EI200 series countdown timer.

Intermatic EI200 series is rated for 1/4 HP.
Check nameplate on motor for HP. Pool pump is probably 1 HP.
Open following link for countdown timer ratings:

Add a comment and say what kind of timer you are using and say specifically what you want timer to do, and I will locate correct timer for that specific need.

You can also add a contactor to the circuit.
Timer controls contactor, and contactor turns pump on-off.

What is the purpose of the countdown timer? Can you program for just 1 program setting for the full week? When setting program time is the manual on/off switch in the on or off position?

You posted under UPM programmable timers
Open following link to identify product and download manual
http://waterheatertimer.org/UPM-timers-and-manuals.html

Q1) Some UPM timers, and other brands, offer countdown feature in addition to regular programming.
So you choose between regular programming and countdown.
Countdown is for a bathroom fan for example.
Push the button and fan turns on for set amount of time.
After countdown is over, fan turns off automatically.

Q2) Yes all days of the week can be selected.
Set event 1 ON for all days.
Set event 1 OFF for all days.
Do not set more events unless you want more on-off events.

Q3) Switch position depends on model number.
Add a comment with model number to identify product and I will look at manual alongside you.
Or try the switch in different positions.
