Possible Causes

Speed set too low for system head, Schedule running at low-speed program, User misinterpreting display, Automation set to energy-save mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work required; adjustments can be made via the controller.

  • Check current RPM: View the current speed on the Hayward pump display. If very low, increase RPM temporarily to see if flow improves.
  • Review programs: Ensure that the active schedule is set to an appropriate speed for filtration or cleaning.
  • Automation settings: If controlled by automation, adjust the speed settings in the automation interface.
  • Balance efficiency and flow: Set a minimum speed that maintains adequate skimmer action and circulation while still saving energy.
