How do I turn off a pool pump?

To turn off your pool pump, locate the timer and switch the dial from the "on" lug to the "off" lug.

Understanding Your Pool Pump Timer

Pool pumps often utilize a timer with a dial that controls when the pump turns on and off. This timer typically has:

• A dial that moves like a clock hand.
• An "on" lug where the timer activates the pump.
• An "off" lug where the timer deactivates the pump.

Steps to Turn Off Your Pool Pump

1. Locate the Timer: Identify the timer mechanism for your pool pump. It's usually near the pump itself.
2. Identify the Dial: Find the dial that looks like a clock hand on the timer.
3. Find the "Off" Lug: Look for the "off" lug on the timer.
4. Move the Dial: Manually turn the dial to the "off" lug. This disconnects the power to the pump.
5. Verify: Ensure the pool pump has stopped running to confirm it is off.

Tips

• Some timers may require you to lift or push a tab to move the dial.
• Be careful when handling electrical components.
• If you are unsure about the setup, consult a pool professional.

By using the timer, you can easily control when your pool pump is operating and save energy.
