Chlorine Generator Timer

[rtt3821]

I'm having a problem with a program to turn ON and OFF the Cl2 generation at various times. I'm on a "Time Of Use" program with the electric co. The ISY turns the generator ON but does not turn it OFF at the scheduled time. The schedule is for weekdays. I want the generator to turn ON at 9:00PM and OFF at 5:00AM next day. Can anyone solve my problem?

Post the Program. Right click on Program name and select Copy to Clipboard. Then paste into post. A common problem is not to put Next Day on the To time so the To time is before the From Time and never triggers.

Hello rtt3821,

Without seeing your program it is hard to say. But given your details a simple program such as this will turn it on at 9pm and off at 5am.

If
       On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri
       From     9:00:00PM
       To       5:00:00AM (next day)

Then
       Set 'Devices / Generator' On

Else
       Set 'Devices / Generator' Off

You may have to have another program to turn the gen. off on Saturday:

If
       On Sat
       Time is  5:00:00AM

Then
       Set 'Devices / Generator' Off


Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Here's what I have.

If

On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri

From 9:00:00PM

To 5:00:00AM (next day)

 

Then

Set 'Insteon Wall Outlet' On

 

Else

Set 'Insteon Wall Outlet' Off

The Program looks okay. When a device will turn On but not turn Off the next thing to consider is the interference the load is causing. What does the chlorinator consist of? Could try a different load, such as a simple light bulb and see if it turns Off okay. It may be necessary to isolated the chlorinator with a FilterLinc.

Thanks Guys for all your help. I'll try what you recommended and let you know the outcome.

I used a ligh bulb to replace the Chlorine Generator and the results are the same. The light went ON but not OFF. I also found that a switchlink is having the same problem. It turns ON but not OFF. I'm not sure how I could use a FilterLinc with the Switchlink. I'm open to all suggestions.

Problem solved. The problem was the pool pump. I changed the "OFF" time of the chlorine generator and the Switchlink a few minutes past the "OFF" time of the pump. Everything is now working. The pump motor is the source of the noise in the line. I have ordered a line filter wich I will install at the pump.
