Possible Causes

Incorrect schedule or speed settings, Keypad lock or child lock enabled, Failed keypad buttons, Control board logic fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Follow the Waterway manual when navigating menus; no need to open the unit for basic programming.

  • Check mode: Ensure the pump is not in a fixed manual mode that overrides schedules. Switch to schedule or program mode as required.
  • Review programs: Go through each programmed time period and confirm different RPM values are set and enabled.
  • Test buttons: Try changing speed manually. If buttons do not respond or are intermittent, the keypad may need replacement.
  • Factory reset: Perform a factory reset of the control (if available) and reprogram speeds. If the pump still ignores speed changes, the control board may be faulty.
