Possible Causes

Drive not configured for auto-restart, Firmware quirk, External timer or automation not synchronized, Corrupted schedule

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use keypad controls only; no need to open electrical compartments for configuration.

  • 1. Review startup behavior: Consult the SuperFlo VS manual to understand how the pump should behave after power restoration.
  • 2. Check schedules: Ensure a valid schedule is programmed that will start the pump after power returns.
  • 3. Synchronize external controls: If using an external timer or automation, verify that it powers the pump consistently and that its schedule aligns with the pump’s internal logic.
  • 4. Factory reset: If behavior is erratic, perform a factory reset and reprogram schedules.
