Possible Causes

Incorrect timer settings, Power interruptions clearing memory, Faulty timer circuit on PCB, Stuck relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the pump is in a dry area before handling the control panel.

Steps:

  • 1. Reprogram timer: Clear all existing programs and re-enter the desired on/off times according to the Flowclear manual.
  • 2. Check clock accuracy: Verify that the current time is set correctly and that AM/PM or 24-hour format is correct.
  • 3. Avoid frequent power loss: If power outages are common, consider using a UPS or surge protector with battery backup for the control circuit.
  • 4. Relay check: If the pump runs continuously regardless of timer, the output relay on the Flowclear PCB may be stuck and the board should be replaced.
