Auto-Restart / Memory Configuration Issue

Possible Causes
Auto-restart disabled in settings, corrupted schedule memory, faulty control board non-volatile memory.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal access is needed for basic configuration; always follow the user manual.
- Check restart setting: In the Waterway pump menu, look for an option related to power-on behavior or auto-restart and ensure it is enabled.
- Verify clock and schedules: After a power outage, confirm the internal clock is correct and that schedules are still present and enabled.
- Test power cycle: Turn the breaker off for a minute and then back on to see if the pump resumes the last program. If not, perform a factory reset and reprogram.
- Board replacement: If settings do not save or the pump frequently forgets schedules, the control board memory may be failing and should be replaced.
