Pool Pilot Dig220 and Intermatic T10604R

Dave, you're doing good. Sometimes it better to hear it from someone else who has done it.
You are correct in that the two speed pump mode does not allow an OFF position and the low speed is always defaulted unless it is programmed or boost is activated.

I wouldn't have bought this timer had I known I was getting a Pool Pilot but that was undertimed at the time of construction so I have a high/low timer that I will never use.

hmmm I am confused!

Diagram 1 clearly shows load out to pump so it would appear I should disregard diagram 1 as it is only for a one speed pump?

Let me see if this is what you mean:
I would attach legs 1 and 2 from the circuit to the line side of the timer.
The load side of the timer would then go to terminal connections 3 and 4 while still having the power jumpers between 1 to 3 and 2 to 4.

The output side of the Pool Pilot would stay the same out to Pump for a two speed configuration.

Correct?

Disregard the first two diagrams. The third one is what you want and wire the input from source (house) to the input of the timer. The load side of the timer gets wired to the Pool pilot terminals 1&2. Make sure the jumpers are done according to the instructions. Don't forget the grounds. Look over the connections on the terminal striip, see if you understand what is directed in the instructions before you do anything. If you want I'll try and get a picture of the terminal strip connections tommorrow night. My timer is mounted next to the PoolPilot, best place for it.
Don't get discouraged, the setup works great once you get it going.

Thanks for the help!

Only one area I would change is the connection from the Time clock to the Pool Pilot. This should go to terminals 3 and 4, rather than 1 and 2. I would jump the wires from 3 to 1 and from 4 to 2. The reason is that the main wires coming in are going to be larger than the jumper from 3 to1 and 4 to 2. This is so that the wire jumper doesn't overheat and melt down. Remember, these incoming wires should be large enough to handle the amperage requirements of the main pump. The wire jumpers to terminals 1 and 2 doesn't need to be as large as the amperage draw for the Pool Pilot (purifing) portion does not require much (1.5 amps actually).

I've been researching systems and I believe I will get the Dig220. After reading this thread I'm a bit confused. I have a 2 sp pump and the way I'm reading this is that the pump wont turn off, just cycle between high and low? That means it will run 24/7?
Davenj, you have another timer to control the on/off?
Also, does the Dig220 control panel completely replace my original box? I'm having problems with my current timer and switch and I'm hoping this will just be replaced with the Pool Pilot's box.
