stillen_i30 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I took the advice of another member on the forum to help set up my hot water recirculator pump using a looping program. However, I've found that the pump never seems to turn off outside of the hours I've set. Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong? Programs are below: If From 5:00:00AM To 11:50:00AM (same day) Or From 7:05:00PM To 10:00:00PM (same day) Then Run Program 'Hot Water Loop' (Then Path) Else Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Off If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat Every 1 minute Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Fast On Wait 8 minutes Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Fast Off Wait 2 minutes Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I use this following program for a few light switches I have in various bathrooms that when they are turned on, the pump turns on manually for a set amount of time, otherwise the pump is turned off (this is only for if the switches are turned on outside of the above times). If Status 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' is Off And ( Control 'Bathrooms / Master Bath / Master Shower M' is switched On Or Control 'Bathrooms / Master Bath / Master Shower R' is switched On Or Control 'Bathrooms / Guest Full Bath Upstairs / Guest Bath Lights' is switched On ) Then Run Program 'Hot Water Loop' (Then Path) Wait 16 minutes Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Fast Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
ISYhbsh01 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 From what I see there is nothing to stop the "Hot water loop" program from running continuously once its activated. Even when the main program turns false thus setting the hot water off, the hot water loop program continues to run & eventually turns the hot water back on. You should add the following to the main program's else path: Run program "Hot water loop" (else path). Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Then Repeat Every 1 minute Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Fast On Wait 8 minutes Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Fast Off Wait 2 minutes By putting a wait 2 minutes at the end, then having it repeat every 1 minute, it will be on for 8 minutes, shut off, wait 2 minutes, then wait 1 minute for the repeat, then turn back on for 8 minutes. It would be cleaner to do the following Then Repeat Every 3 minute Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Fast On Wait 8 minutes Set 'Garage / Garage Hot Water' Fast Off
