Super Chlorinate
24 hours
If external chlorination is enabled. For larger pools or when you have an unusually high bather load,
a large amount of rain, a cloudy water condition, or any other condition that requires a large amount
of chlorine to be introduced to the pool, adjust the Superchlorination period to provide adequate
chlorination. Smaller pools require less hours of Superchlorination.
Group Function
The OnCommand offers the ability to assign one Group function to a particular button. Instead of the button
controlling one particular function, the button can be programmed to initiate a sequence of commands that are
programmed in the Configuration Menu. For example, instead of the Lights button turning on and off the pool light
only, the button can be programmed to turn on the pool light, turn on the bug light, turn off the pool cleaner, and turn
on the music all at the same time. This convenient feature can be assigned to either one of the Aux buttons, the
Lights button or the Valve 3 automated function.
Before assigning and configuring all the desired functions and their control parameters within the group, the group
itself must be configured. The options for controlling groups are Manual On/Off, Countdown Timer, and Timeclock.
The group will turn on and off based on this selection.
When setting up a Group function in the Configuration Menu, the first menu allows you to select the control
parameter (how the group is activated and de-activated) and the second menu allows you to select which functions
are to be controlled in the group.
A table of functions and their corresponding control parameters are listed below.

Note that all functions in the table may not be offered. The available functions are dependent on how the OnCommand
is configured. Also, under some circumstances, functions will be displayed but can't be changed. Note that the
function whose menu you are in, will not be displayed as an option and will automatically turn on when the group is
activated. For example, if programming a Group function under the Lights menu, the Lights function will not be
offered as an option and the Lights function will automatically turn on with the group.
The available control parameters vary with each function. All functions offer "Unaffected", which should be
selected if you do not wish to control that particular function within the group. All other parameters will depend on
the particular function selected.
