Intex sand filter SWG system on sleep mode, but running?

[changethursday]

I have an older ECO 15110 that I got from someone, it seems to be working fine, other than not shutting off. Its my first time with a pool. I aded the salt, ran the pump only for 24 hrs to help circulate and dissolve the salt, tested levels, and we're good. Turned on the SWG to run for 4 hrs (1600 GPH, 5000 Gal pool), and it run fine, no codes. After 4 hrs, it moved to "sleep" mode, but the pump is still running.

Is that correct? I assume the SWG is sleeping, but I thought the pump would also turn off and just run the 4hrs/day? I can't seem to find clarity on this in the manual. It gave me the impression that the pump would shut off, and I can't imagine it wants to run 24/7 without burning out. Help!!

I believe you can set the pump to run for the same amount of hours as the swg.
Does yours only have the key pad or does it have a dial also?

Keypad only. I don't need the pump running 24/7, right? Whats best practice?

If it’s a combo unit, it should shut off after the 4 hours. What shows on the display?

The LED is green and says "sleep" and code "93" shows, but the pump still runs

The code 93 is what shows when it is all done chlorinating, but in my experience it runs for a little while longer then goes to sleep. How long has yours been running with the code 93 showing?

Found the manual for you, if yours didn’t come with.

It was still running a few hours after it went to sleep. I'll track the time for specifically tomorrow to see

Start the pump at 8 AM. 4 hr run. Its 2:30 and still going right now.

Hmmm. Something wrong there, but I am not mechanically inclined so I couldn’t begin to figure out what.

There is a thread on here about the strange way it must be programmed- lemme see if i can find it....

Intex salt water sand pump filter programming and issue

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Awesome forum you have here! I am the recent proud owner of an Intex 12x24 ultra frame xtr pool with a salt water system. Leveling took a while but setup was fairly straight forward and my family loves it. Added a few upgrades (solar cover, reel...

thank you!! I'll check it out!!

Hmm. no go, wasn't able to get that to work. I've reached out to intex, maybe they know something (ha!)

 

[Mdragger88]

There is one model that relies on beeps to indicate the settings- can u take a pic of your unit?

 

[changethursday]

Its an eco-15110-1. I'll see if I can snag a picture later

I got up with intex support. After telling me that it was my boost cycle running (it wasn't) they then said it's probably broken, but it's out of warranty. I'm just going to put it on a timer that will just let it run 5hrs/day. That should work just fine.
